Q: What is the song of the decade?
A: The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" (03). A seven-note riff transcends the Billboard charts to become an international sports anthem.
I also considered Ratatat's timelessly fresh "Seventeen Years" (04).
Ben suggested "Hey Ya!" (03), but I cannot listen to it anymore. Overplay spoiled "Hey Ya!" for me.
Bands I won't listen to because their name is too stupid:
» The Airborne Toxic Event
» CunninLynguists
» Mew
» Hester Prynne
» Sex Magician
» Desiring Dead Flesh
K'Jon is an R&B artist.
I thought his stage name was like Flo Rida's, that he was from Louisiana.
He's from Detroit.
His birth name is Kelvin Johnson.
I wonder why he deleted the "h" in his stage name. It should be K'Jo'n.
Muse's new single evokes Mechanical Animals-era Marilyn Manson.
How did "We Didn't Start the Fire" become a number one hit? The chorus is awkward and inert, and the lyrics are a list.
—why was barenaked ladies' "one week" a hit?
—why is nerdcore a scene?
—white people love songs that reference culture
By yer "Seven Nation Army" logic, "Zombie Nation" by Kernkraft 400 must be part of the discussion.
Dude, you just let a techno song into the Song Of The Decade debate.
I hope you're happy.
I thought the same thing when I first discovered Mew but now they're one of my favorites. Give them a chance!
