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

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

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

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

You just broke this thread, Indifferent Clox

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.

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

i agree with you

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.

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

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.

I dunno, who let the dogs out?

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.

^^^ best reason not to watch MTV

One of my favourites ever.

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

:rofl:

Actually kinda what I was thinking.

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

Probably Viva la Chris Rosa...




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

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

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

Thats because you are from nineteen eighty sixx


and also most of them suck.

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 - !!!

Fuck that remix of Encore is great.

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

Gettin Jiggy With IT - Will Smith

Wasn't that from last century?

Shut up, Fucky.

Tay Zonday - Chocolate Rain

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

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:

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

KELLY CLARKSON

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

It's fucking timeless

The biggest, not the best, right?

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

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.

NOW WA ME YOU CRANK DAT SOULJA BOY YOUUU

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

The name of the band is "!!!"

well i wrote em a letter and asked them to change their name so you could take them seriously, but they never responded.

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

MY mailman

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

:shifty:

Gold digger is the correct answer

Crazy nigger.

the only one that can sustain our species' needs. for now.

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

But overall I think 'Crazy' - Gnarls Barkley

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.

U2-Walk on
Eminem- Lose yourself

Another Eminem song could do probably.

Amityville - Eminem

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.

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.

We Belong Together is actually a brilliant song imo

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.

i dont see how they relate to either of those acts

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.

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?

Since You've Been Gone

Have either of them even done anything this decade?

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