R&P: Which out of the following 21st century songs do you like the most?

Hello RP, I've complied a list of my favourite and well known 21st
century songs to ask what everyone there favourites are. All artists
are different, and there is a strong chance you've heard most of these
songs before.

1. Knights Of Cydonia- Muse: Massively popular, among Muse's most well
known and an epic song that inspires and entertains. Purely
captivating, my personal favourite

2. Seven Nation Army- White Stripes: A signature song at the start of
every football game, and like Knight's Of Cydonia, has become an
anthem for people who desire to conquer

3. Stan- Eminem: A story of a crazed fan and Eminem, this song was a
critical and commercial success, and its hard to find an Eminem song
better than this. Dido's part is great too.

4. Maps- Yeah Yeah Yeahs: A love song that found its way onto the
Guitar Rock soundtrack, Karen's vocals are sweet yet have a desperate
tone to it. Beautiful.

5. Time To Pretend- MGMT
'I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life' open
the song about rock n roll cliches with hints of sarcasm and wit.
Although 'Kids' won the commercial side, 'Time to Pretend' was a
critical success and one of MGMT's best.

6. Rebellion (Lies)- Arcade Fire
Not my kind of music, but hit a chord with the indie crowd, 'everytime
you close your eyes' is said over and over again, thought provoking
and interesting

7. Everything In It's Right Place- Radiohead
First track off the very critically acclaimed Kid A, the only
non-single on this list. Fusion of electronica and rock is considered
both groundbreaking and alienating at the time of its release. One of
my favourites

8. Clocks- Coldplay: Chart topping, successful, used in so many
commercials and is a beautiful and pretty song. Coldplay's best, in my
view

9. Take Me Out- Franz Ferdinand: Dance-punk song with an upbeat nature
and are among the band's best and well recieved. Great song

10. Crazy- Gnarlz Barkley: Surprise hit, Rolling Stone's voted it as
the best song of the last decade, a nice cool song you can chillax to.
Love it, and most people who loved it were kind of unfamiliar with
that style of music

BQ: If yahoo! let me add an eleventh link, what song do you think it
should be?
BBQ: Favourite flavour of ice cream? (seeing as I'm an ice cream truck
driver, lol)
