Song of the decade, christ that's a tough one and i wouldn't be able to pick just one.

By sales worldwide it would be Hips Don't Lie by Shakira, followed by Crazy in Love by Beyonce.

For the UK the top selling single is Evergreen by Will Young.

No shit sherlock, i said i couldn't pick one but was just saying what the best selling singles were. I couldn't pick one song from the last ten years and say it's the best.

On a more serious note, I'm highly surprised not to find Arctic Monkeys 'I bet You look Good On The Dancefloor' on that list.

Jesus Christ, is that Weaste, shaking it like a polaroid picture?

It's been a barren fucking decade for music outside of hip-hop

I'd say Sorry Miss Jackson or Hey Ya are the best singles, Chronic 2001 the best album

I guess the next couple of months are going to be filled with various "... of the decade' lists

Pitchfork have already done single/album/video of the decade - although surely this is all a bit premature, what if the best single of the decade is released next week?
Anyway they reckon Outkast - BOB is the song of the decade:
Pitchfork: Staff Lists: The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s: 20-1

Personally, I would go for Gnarls Barkley 'Crazy' - not necessarily my fave track of the past 10 years (although I do like it) - but it represents the massive change in the music industry that has happened this decade as it became the first song to be UK#1 on download sales alone.

Saw this thread and my first thought was to nominate this tune.



You can imagine my horror when I realised that - not only was it not released in the last decade - it barely even made it into the first year of the decade before that.

I'm off to crawl into a hole in the ground and weep...

It wasn't that bad, the quality always shines through, although it takes a few years to find and appreciate them.

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars. Even if it is probably one of their worst songs, it's most likely to go down as one of the biggest of the last decade.

Ignition - R Kelly

Train - Drops of Jupiter

Outkast - Hey ya

Beyonce - Crazy in Love

Eminem - Lose Yourself

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley

Gorillaz - Dare

All songs for the most part I wouldn't like personally but ones I feel have a chance. My personal favourite song of the last decade is by a little known (on a world scale) Dublin band called Delorentos, called Eustace Street.

Aye I just had about eight of those moments before realising that no good music had come out of this decade.

I've seen this song mentioned in maybe four threads and the next post in probably three of them has been you saying the exact same thing. I agree that it's a poor song but jesus you really fucking hate it. It was voted recently the greatest song never to reach number one, so it's for that reason I think it has a chance of being song of the decade.

more like 60s Rock n Roll, but the 70s funk would be welcome 10 years on.

there honestly isn't,ive been looking gambit, i can only stand a few bands nowadays, i hate all this indie balls, every band is called "The ....", then you got X factor nonsense who most people agree is just wrong, then there is dance music which i could never get into really, and finally we got r'n'b with justin timberlake and usher making song after song about a girl in the club. I wanna go to the 60s

I can agree with that. Though I'd likely pluck for B.O.B.
