What do you think the "song of the decade" is?

[Buzzkill]

Not necessarily the best song in your opinion but the one that you think had the combination of innovation, good sound and popularity that best represents the 2000s...

I'm thinking Hey Ya! by Outkast

So good, definitely a "classic" of this era

[Buzzkill]

Alternatively, Snap Ya Fingers by Lil Jon. Creative masterpiece and timeless classic

[Indifferent Clox]

Idioteque by Radiohead
Bros by Panda Bear
House of Jealous Lovers by The Rapture
Fireworks by Animal Collective
All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
The Arcade Fire- Wake Up
modest mouse- 3rd planet

[road doggy dogg]

I haven't heard of any song in this thread, aside from Hey Ya.

[Buzzkill]

You just broke this thread, Indifferent Clox

[Downunder]

You just broke this thread, Indifferent Clox

[Funky Fly]

Probably some horribly over produced shit with a mediocre singer having his/her pitch fixed with autotune and Lil Jon going "WHAT, YEAH, OK" all over the place.

So probably Yeah by Usher.

[Buzzkill]

Haha I was thinking about that Funky but couldn't bring myself to actually consider it.

[OssMan]

Probably some horribly over produced shit with a mediocre singer having his/her pitch fixed with autotune and Lil Jon going "WHAT, YEAH, OK" all over the place.

So probably Yeah by Usher.

[Kapoutman]

I think that (Crank That) Soulja Boy represents a lot of things that were wrong with music in the last decade.

Not sure about what represents the positives, though.

[Big Fat Mike]

If there was an official award, it would probably be something very, very stupid. Examples to come soon.

[CSL]

Idioteque by Radiohead
Bros by Panda Bear
House of Jealous Lovers by The Rapture
Fireworks by Animal Collective
All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
The Arcade Fire- Wake Up

lol wtf

I'd guess it would probably be something daft like 'Clocks' by Coldplay

[muffalufagus]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was Blink 182 - All The Small Things. That song was massive.

I'm down with Outkast getting it with Hey Ya as well.

Maybe The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army?

I'm just throwin shit out there.

[Fignuts]

I dunno, who let the dogs out?

[Fabien Barthez]

I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys.

That would be my vote, and would probably poll pretty high in a UK poll.

Side note, anybody catch the MTV's 'Album of the last 25 years'?

Craig David - Born To Do It came in at number 2. lol.

[Downunder]

^^^ best reason not to watch MTV

[Bad Company]

I dunno, who let the dogs out?
One of my favourites ever.

[Sixx]

I seriously don't know 90% of the bands listed in this thread.

[CSL]

:rofl:

[Hornicane]

Maybe The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army?



Actually kinda what I was thinking.

[Rammsteinmad]

In terms of songs that will be considered legendary in the coming decades, the 2000's hasn't really released all too much.

[The Chris Rosa]

Probably Viva la Chris Rosa...




..Or Vida. Whichever would sell Coldplay more albums.

[muffalufagus]

Actually kinda what I was thinking.

I personally don't think it is, but if we're going by over all popularity and such, it definitely is a contender.

[ct2k]

Hey Ya is brilliant I agree, definitely up there imo:y:

[Downunder]

I seriously don't know 90% of the bands listed in this thread.

Thats because you are from nineteen eighty sixx


and also most of them suck.

[Wehttam]

I'm gonna say 99 Problems bay Jay-Z. woooo.

my personal top 10 list (which to be honest will probably be different next week):

Goliath - The Mars Volta
Peacock Skeleton With Crooked Feathers - The Blood Brothers
Jesus - Brand New
Ain't That a Bitch - Lil Wayne
Encore - Dj Dangermouse/Jay-Z
A.T.H.F. - DangerDoom
Carolina Drama - The Raconteurs
Nature of the Experiment - Tokyo Police Club
I'm Lonely (But I'm Not That Lonely Yet) - The White Stripes
KooKooKa Fuk-U - !!!

[Pete Cash]

Fuck that remix of Encore is great.

I posted over at rajahs before it died that this was the song of the decade :lol:

[DaveWadding]

Gettin Jiggy With IT - Will Smith

[Funky Fly]

Wasn't that from last century?

[DaveWadding]

Shut up, Fucky.

[St. Jimmy]

Tay Zonday - Chocolate Rain

[ct2k]

I love how Buzzkill mentions popularity as one of the factors to consider and a load of songs which are not popular get mentioned

[ct2k]

Ps - faggotmunch emohotel - Oh we do


Best song of the 00's yo, for real, I bet even Clox hasn't heard of it its so underground and shit:cool:

[Kalyx triaD]

I think that (Crank That) Soulja Boy represents a lot of things that were wrong with music in the last decade.

[Triple Naitch]

What has been the biggest song of your decade, Sixx? "Smokin' in the Boys Room"?

[road doggy dogg]

Another spin could be one of those stupid American Idol winners. The 00's were defined by reality TV, so what better way to represent the decade's music than by having a reality TV show winner about music picked?
crossrine

[Wehttam]

KELLY CLARKSON

[Downunder]

I'm stickin' with Smokin' In The Boys Room.

It's fucking timeless

[G]

Nickleback - How You Remind Me

[Zeeboe]

[Sixx]

What has been the biggest song of your decade, Sixx? "Smokin' in the Boys Room"?

The biggest, not the best, right?

I would say 'The Final Countdown' or 'Livin' on a Prayer'.

[Sixx]

KooKooKa Fuk-U - !!!

Ok, really? That's the actual name of the song? And the band is called KooKooKa Fuk-U? What the fuck is wrong with musicians these days?

And I don't want to see replies about calling a band 'Cinderella' because I won't even acknowledge them. Period.

[SammyG]

NOW WA ME YOU CRANK DAT SOULJA BOY YOUUU

[Vastardikai]

Ok, really? That's the actual name of the song? And the band is called KooKooKa Fuk-U? What the fuck is wrong with musicians these days?

And I don't want to see replies about calling a band 'Cinderella' because I won't even acknowledge them. Period.

Come on man, no sane person would call themselves KooKooKa Fuk-U!

The name of the band is "!!!"

[road doggy dogg]

Come on man, no sane person would call themselves KooKooKa Fuk-U!

The name of the band is "!!!"

Oh.

Thank goodness they picked a normal name that actually makes sense. I was worried.

And I don't want to see replies about calling a band 'Cinderella' because I won't even acknowledge them. Period.well i wrote em a letter and asked them to change their name so you could take them seriously, but they never responded.

[road doggy dogg]

So they're also no good at connecting with fans. Asshats.
crossrine

[Wehttam]

to be honest i think the mailman peed on it or something

[road doggy dogg]

AND their mailman doesn't respect them! Sound like an unsavory lot.
crossrine

[Wehttam]

MY mailman

[Sixx]

So your mailman doesn't respect you. What kind of world we live in.

[Vastardikai]

:shifty:

[Shisen Kopf]

Gold digger is the correct answer

[Sixx]

Crazy nigger.

[Wehttam]

So your mailman doesn't respect you. What kind of world we live in.the only one that can sustain our species' needs. for now.

[Jon Kano]

My personal choice, All These Things I've Done - The Killers

But overall I think 'Crazy' - Gnarls Barkley

[Sixx]

In the ranks of popularity, as much as I hate to admit it I'd go with Limp Bizkit - Rollin'. It ain't innovative, it ain't good, but it sure as hell was so irritatingly popular.

Oh yeah, and fuck Limp Bizkit.

[McLegend]

U2-Walk on
Eminem- Lose yourself

Another Eminem song could do probably.

[Savio]

Amityville - Eminem

[Johnny Vegas]

Hey Ya is definitely up there. But now i think Lady GaGa has to be up there with "Just Dance". I would also consider "This Love" by Maroon 5.

[DaveWadding]

Out of curiousity, I was looking at Billboard.com to decide what might actually be the song...

Most #1 in the 2000s is Usher with 7. No one else has more than 4...

Songs with the most time at #1 in the 2000s:

Artist Title # Weeks
Mariah Carey We Belong Together 16
Usher Yeah! 12
Eminem Lose Yourself 12
Destiny's Child Independent Women 11
Flo Rida Low 10
Beyonce Irreplaceable 10
Kanye West Gold Digger 10
Nelly Dilemma 10
Ashanti Foolish 10
Santana Maria, Maria 10

I'd pretty much have to say Yeah! is it.

[ct2k]

We Belong Together is actually a brilliant song imo

[The Mask]

i saw !!! supporting red hot chili peppers

in fact !!! went on before james brown.

james brown was the coolest thing i ever saw. !!! was not. they got roundly booed the entire time for being shit.

[Wehttam]

i dont see how they relate to either of those acts

[toxic rooster]

She Will be Loved was ridic popular too.

Wouldn't be shocked with anything from Blink 182, or Lose Yourself.

Actually, when the crap was 'Time of Your Life'. If that snuck into this decade, it would probably be up there2.

[Big Fat Mike]

It will probably be a Mariah Carey song. What about that one she did with boyz II men? Wasnt everyone on that song's dick for like 15 years?

[Skippord]

Since You've Been Gone

[G]

It will probably be a Mariah Carey song. What about that one she did with boyz II men? Wasnt everyone on that song's dick for like 15 years?


Have either of them even done anything this decade?

[DaveWadding]

Mariah Carey only has the longest #1 hit single of the decade.
