No song encapsulated such a stance more than the sky-soaring majesty of ‘Staring At The Sun’, from their 2004 album ‘Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes’. The scratchy guitars, the frenetic dance-funk drums, a liberal sprinkling of cowbell and that tortured vocal: ‘House Of Jealous Lovers’ was a masterpiece in danceable post-punk. For songs exclusively associated with her, "2002" is probably the strongest contender. In a good way. Yes, we know there are some really quite touching lyrics, but nothing quite so affecting as “Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh” when bellowed out by about 100,000 lungs. No one does it like Queens. The “They don’t love you like I love you” hook in the chorus is so tender it could make a pitbull well up. The criticisms that they only had one or two great songs missed the point entirely: as anyone at all familiar with ’60s garage will tell you, most of the great bands only had a couple of great moments. Sigh. The music shuffled along with a snappy groove, echoing the non-stop nature of the lyrics. Download free books in PDF format. The key catalyst at play here was the chap responsible for that weird vocoder effect on Cher’s ‘Believe’. If you were a DJ in the early noughties, this was your secret weapon. The darlings of Southend’s Junk Club scene were dismissed as one-trick ponies, and poor sales of 2007 debut album ‘Strange House’ cost them their major-label deal. The Grass Roots — "Let's Live for Today" or "Sooner or Later", A Great Big World — "Say Something" (specifically the re-recording with Christina Aguilera), To rock audiences: "Basket Case", "Welcome to Paradise", "Longview", "When I Come Around" (from. Originally released in 2002 but properly grabbing the nation by the gonads in 2003 it was the stand out track on their DFA-produced debut proper and woke both sides of the Atlantic up to the dance-punk the Brooklyn boys had been perfecting for half a decade. They made much more concise, accessible pop records than this throughout their careers, but never have Jimi Goodwin’s lot sounded as mesmerizingly beautiful as they do here. Although the early incarnation of the song bore scant resemblance to its finished state, the band apparently liked Jonny Greenwood’s instrumental part so much that they decided to turn it into an entirely new track, but keep the same title. The debut single proper from The Vines propelled Craig Nicholls and co to instant stardom in 2002. "Happier" can also count, although that’s primarily seen as Marshmello’s song. The Charlie Daniels Band — "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip — "Thou Shalt Always Kill", Terence Trent D'Arby — "Wishing Well" or "Sign Your Name", The Darkness — "I Believe in a Thing Called Love", Dash Rip Rock — "(Let's Go) Smoke Some Pot", Days of the New — "Touch, Peel and Stand". The Damned Things — "We've Got a Situation Here". The longest song on Doves’ mesmerising debut album ‘Lost Souls’ represents the true essence of what this most unassumingly special of British bands are all about. It’s become a bit of a drive-time, FM-rock cliché – which is strange, because ‘Sex On Fire’ is really quite a filthy song, describing a shag so mind-bendingly amazing, it’s almost a bit scary (“Knuckles are pale, feels like you’re dying…“). Kaleo — "Way Down We Go" for alternative radio listeners and to the mainstream, "No Good" for active rock radio listeners. The most well-known song he is credited on, however, is, Dog's Eye View — "Everything Falls Apart", Thomas Dolby — "She Blinded Me With Science", Lonnie Donegan — "Rock Island Line" or "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor", The Doobie Brothers — "Black Water" (pre-Michael McDonald) or "What a Fool Believes" (post-McDonald), Jimmy Dorsey — "Amapola (Pretty Little Poppy)", Tommy Dorsey — "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You", Down With Webster — "Big Wheels" or "Your Man", The Downtown Fiction — "I Just Wanna Run", Overall — "Best I Ever Had", "Hold On, We're Going Home", the, Dramarama — "Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)", The Dream Academy — "Life in a Northern Town", Eamon — "Fuck It! The key tune on 2002’s ‘A Rush Of Blood To The Head’ wasn’t even supposed to be on the record at all, and only turned up on the bands second album after Chris Martin, en route to filing the tracklisting to label Parlophone, had a crisis of confidence about the proposed release, asked to put the date back by two months, and recorded the song on the recommendation of the band’s manager Phil Harvey. A year and one NME tour later and The Rapture were household names, and handclapping in discos was mandatory. It’s sparse, deathly chilling and emotionally naked – Yannis sings rather than barks, and whilst the lyrics are hardly explicit, his order, or invitation – “Forget the horror here” – bears an alluringly universal resonance. In the beginning, there was a song… And it was a really very good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHOf3s70w-c. However their biggest mainstream hit was "Just Between You and Me" and is the song they're best known for to the average listener. Which was more than fair comment. Chart-melting US hip-hop anthems invariably feature bonnet-busting beats, shotgun sound effects and a general tone of bigging up oneself. Cian Ciaran, the dance expert in the band, built a pupil-dilating intro that built until – when played live – the band would cut in with the instruments, anthemic harmonica heralding a career peak for one of the UK’s most special, genre-shoving bands. Hard faced and broken-souled, its knowing wallowing spoke to anyone who’d ever had a bunnyboiler moment. It wasn’t until Vice Records released ‘Good Bad Not Evil’ in the UK in 2007 that Atlanta dirt-rockers Black Lips came to wide(ish) public attention in Blighty, but the shove couldn’t have been heralded better than by their greatest song – the moody, brooding yet rip-throat raucous ‘O Katrina!’. The most frivolous and fun moment of The Strokes’ entire back catalogue to date, never before had a song that sounded as if it was recorded through a plaster wall felt so anthemic. 3D Pool[br]3D World Soccer[br]3D World Tennis[br]4D Sports Boxing[br]4D Sports Driving[br]4X4 Off Road Racing[br]688 Attack Sub[br]1000 Miglia[br]1869 (Aga)[br]1869[br]1943[br]Aaargh! As genial and comforting as a friend’s arm round your shoulder on the night bus home as you weep into your chips, ‘Sheila’ is the male counterpart to Lily Allen’s ‘LDN’ – smart, warm magpie pop that could only have been made in the capital. The world's defining voice in music and pop culture since 1952. The first single from their second album, ‘Origin Of Symmetry’, ‘Plug In Baby’ marked the moment Muse stopped being Jeff Buckley/Radiohead copyists and found their own voice. Bad grammar does not necessarily load things with meaning, Mr Banks). Oh, and it had a great ‘Band Aid’ parody video where Jarvis played Brian May. ~Ikareru Kobushi ni Honō wo Tsukero~, 2 Unlimited — "No Limit" in Europe, "Get Ready For This" in North America, 38 Special — "Hold On Loosely" or "Caught Up In You", 98 Degrees — "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)". So colossal you can’t even see the top, ‘Empire State…’ was the song of at least two summers. It would be a tragedy if they were remembered for being merely ‘a blog band’, rather than what they actually are, which is simply an incredible band. In a world in which everyone and their dog was doing the 80s, Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid pulled off the feat of making something which sounded attached to that decade but which also sounded authentic and effortless. Part Nina Simone, part Boy George (with a splash of Robert Smith and Alison Moyet lobbed in for a laugh), he was a jazz diva on one hand and a 6ft 4in transgendered lost child on the other. Helmed by super-producer Rick Rubin, ‘99 Problems’ initially charted at number 12 in the UK on release in 2003, but also returned at number 35 in 2008, prompted by Jay-Z’s legendary Noel Gallagher-baiting appearance at Glastonbury Festival. It helped that Kele was singing about the demons that populated the darkest corners of his mind, because that gave ‘Banquet’ a depth no one really expected of Bloc Party, and which means it retains its relevance and brilliance years after its initial release. His beautiful falsetto here sits beautifully over an elastic bassline, propulsive drums and some marvellously intricate production courtesy of Danger Mouse. Hence we get the deft poetry of the first verse (“Your light fingers through the dark…“) punctured by the viciousness of the second: “The world kicked back a lot fuckin’ harder“. And second, how is Rihanna able to sing in such a cold and impassive voice, yet make the song sound so weirdly moving? Something of an understatement, seeing as the album of the same name shot to number 1 and sold around 1 million copies worldwide. But one of the biggest hip-hop anthems of the decade, from Andre 3000 and Big Boi, was a very different beast indeed. As introductions go, Kings Of Leon’s paean to the plights of prostitution told you everything you needed to know about the band. Built on a base of Ramones-like, taut rock, it provided a platform for one of the most air guitar-worthy of Albert Hammond Jr’s axe-amblings ever, and was another reminder of how important these four dudes were. But with a chorus hook this cataclysmically huge, who’s paying attention to the words? Remixed and revamped at the end of 2007 but only hitting 35 in the national charts, it nevertheless shot to number four in our 2008 Tracks Of The Year list and sent a nation tie-dye loopy. Let’s just all choose to forget ‘Sheezus’, yeah? Here’s to the coolest song to reference the Discovery Channel (besides The Bloodhound Gang). (Tell Me So)’ and featuring a rap from boyfriend Jay-Z (reportedly thrown out off the cuff in 10 minutes at a 3am studio session), it remains a classic. There’s an argument that the QOTSA line up of Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri and Dave Grohl is the most powerful line up of any rock group of the modern age… including Them Crooked Vultures. The third single from The Libertines’ debut album ‘Up The Bracket’, it was yet another wake-up slap in the face for anyone who thought that British indie rock was dormant after the heady days of Britpop. It’s the song that little girls dance to at discos. The lead-off single and high-point of Interpol’s second album, this has a typically obtuse Paul Banks lyric (“Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van”) only somehow even worse (“Sensitive to faith not”? Are! "; for his solo work, "I Need a Dollar" in Europe and "The Man" in North America, Mike Bauer — "Friday, as performed by Bob Dylan", Funnyz — "Friday (Music Video Parody)" (AKA the "Fried Eggs" parody), Fergie — "Big Girls Don't Cry" or "Fergalicious", Blackfoot — "Highway Song" or "Train, Train" (both from, Black Stone Cherry — "White Trash Millionaire". It’s a lesson in classic pop subversion, because it manages to be both playfully innocent and undeniably crude at the same time. Fitz & the Tantrums — "The Walker" or "HandClap", Five for Fighting — "Superman (It's Not Easy)" or "100 Years", Roberta Flack — "Killing Me Softly With His Song", "Albatross" for the original incarnation with Peter Green, The Flirts — "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)", Flume — "Never Be Like You", though he's far better known in the UK for his remix of Disclosure's "You & Me", Flux Pavilion — "I Can't Stop" or "Cracks", Foals — In the U.K, "My Number"; in the U.S., previously "Inhaler" but now "Mountain at My Gates", The Foundations — "Build Me Up Buttercup", The Four Seasons — "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)", The Four Tops — "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)", Frankie Beverly & Maze — "Back In Stride", From First to Last — "Note to Self" or "Emily", Future — "Turn On The Lights", "Fuck Up Some Commas", "Jumpman", Future Leaders of the World — "Let Me Out", The Future Sound of London — "Papua New Guinea" or, Polina Gagarina — "A Million Voices" or "Kolibelnaya", Galantis — "Runaway (U & I)" or "No Money", The Gap Band — "You Dropped a Bomb on Me", Martin Garrix — "Animals" or "In the Name of Love", Kevin Gates — "2 Phones" or "Really Really", The Georgia Satellites — "Keep Your Hands to Yourself", Gerry and the Pacemakers — "You'll Never Walk Alone", Stan Getz — "The Girl From Ipanema" (shared with João and Astrud Gilberto), Jess Glynne — "Hold My Hand" for her solo material, but she's best-known overall for her appearance on, Glaze — "Nightmare Night" or "Beyond Her Garden", gnash — "i hate u I love u" (shared with olivia o'brien), Andrew Gold — "Spooky Scary Skeletons", "Lonely Boy", or "Thank You for Being a Friend". Super Furry Animals’ greatest song amalgamated all their biggest strengths (slow but anthemic melodies, fist-punch choruses and techno bleep-outs) into a seven-minute wonder vastly more magic than the sum of its parts. Who’d have thought it would take the puppeteering of Louis Walsh on the back of Popstars: The Rivals to reignite people’s imaginations at pop’s possibilities? “I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life / Let’s make some music, make some money, find some models for wives / I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars / You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars” – thus began MGMT’s tongue-in-cheek ode to the fame that was inevitable after the release of such a classic. From the smallest of acorns come the most statuesque natural beauties: so ‘Wake Up’ grows from an inelegantly struck guitar chord into something practically religious in its fervour and scale. The Greg Kihn Band — Initially "Jeopardy", but now "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)", as the former is better known via a parody by, Edvard Grieg — "Hall of the Mountain King" (which isn't a song, by the way), Gucci Mane — Initially “Spotlight”, but now "Both" or "I Get The Bag", Sammy Hagar — "I Can't Drive 55" as a solo artist, "Why Can't This Be Love?" With Switch and Diplo sharing production and The Clash’s ‘Straight To Hell’ providing the backbone, this track was always destined for greatness. Chet Faker — "Talk is Cheap" in Australia, "Gold" in the U.S. Jack White’s reverential plundering of the rock canon has resulted in some criticism – but ‘Fell In Love With A Girl’, from his and Meg’s breakthrough classic ‘White Blood Cells’, was a garage-rock classic that could hold its own against any two-and-a-half-minutes of noise featuring at least a guitar and a drumkit. A latter-day classic. Well, basically, moving to Paris and going clubbing forever. The Maximo Park song even the naysayers have to begrudgingly appreciate. (I Don't Want You Back)", Sheena Easton — "Morning Train (9 to 5)" or ", Echo and the Bunnymen — "The Killing Moon", Edgar Winter Group — "Frankenstein" or "Free Ride", El Chombo — "Chacarron Macarron" or "Dame Tu Cosita", Electric Six — "Gay Bar" (To the chagrin of many fans), Elevation Worship — “O Come to the Altar”, emblem3 — "Chloe (You're The One I Want)", En Vogue — "Hold On", "My Lovin (You're Never Gonna Get It)" or "Don't Let Go (Love)", The English Beat — "Mirror in the Bathroom", Enter Shikari — "Sorry, You're Not A Winner", "Juggernauts", or "Destabilise", Eric Prydz — "Call On Me" for his early material; "Liberate", "Generate", and "Breathe" for his more recent works, With Craig Mabbit: "Issues" or "One for the Money", Ethnix — "Jessica", "Tutim", and "BMW Shachora", Everything Everything — "Kemosabe", "Cough Cough", or "Distant Past", Evil Nine — "Crooked", "All The Cash", "The Black Brad Pitt" or "No Manners". "you suck charlie", "i don't wanna waste my time" and especially his remix of "medicine" in terms of his older content. It’s one of life’s great injustices that probably more people know José González’s cover version than the glorious original from The Knife’s ‘Deep Cuts’. Such is the song’s hookiness, it even survived the appropriation of Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip by being sampled in their song ‘Fixed’. What a track. If you can judge a song by the amount of times it’s been covered, this track has had the treatment from numerous artists, from Snow Patrol to Switchfoot and The Magic Numbers. “Nah-nah-nah-naah-nah-nah-na-na-na, Nah-nah-nah-naah-nah-nah-na-na-na” – the opening riff of the Wakefield brothers’ most anthemic moment has become an indie dancefloor catchphrase in itself. No one else could simultaneously sound as world-weary and mischievous as Lily Allen delivering that line about her emotionally-retarded ex “fucking the girl next door…what d’you do that for?“. What’s remarkable about this song is that this drivel doesn’t matter one bit. Nick Jonas & The Administration — "Who I Am", George Jones — "He Stopped Loving Her Today", Isham Jones — "I'll See You in My Dreams" or "It Had to Be You" (probably the, Big Brother & the Holding Company — "Piece of My Heart" (from. But more than anything, it proved that guitar bands in the noughties could ‘do dance’ credibly (or should that be the other way round?). “What became of forever?” Pete Doherty asked at the tail end of The Libertines career. Harry Belafonte — "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)", The Bellamy Brothers — "Let Your Love Flow", Belly (rapper) — "Might Not", although it's more associated with, Benny Benassi — "Satisfaction" in Europe; "Cinema" in America, Birdman — "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" (shared with, Bishop Bullwinkle — "Hell to Da Naw Naw Naw", Aloe Blacc — Overall, his uncredited appearance on Avicii's "Wake Me Up! First came The Strokes and The White Stripes; The Libertines soon followed dragging a whole heap of Arcadian fantasists with them while, through the rest of the decade, more brilliant bands than you can shake a skinny jean-clad leg at followed suit. When they returned in 2009, they were unrecognisable. This includes: Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne, the FCC and MTV, Chris Kirkpatrick, Limp Bizkit and Moby, as well as – as is traditional in an Eminem tune – his own mother, for the lawsuit she filed against him for the lyrics of his debut single ‘My Name Is’. Overall — "Crimewave" is their most well-known song in part due to the Crystal Castles remix. Overall — "Club Foot", "Underdog" and the, Katy B — "Katy on a mission" or "Crying for No Reason", KC and the Sunshine Band — "That's the Way (I Like It)", KDA — "Turn the Music Louder (Rumble)" (though it's probably more associated with, Paul Kelly — "To Her Door", "Before Too Long", or "Darling It Hurts", Tori Kelly — "Nobody Love" or "Should've Been Us", Rufus & Chaka Khan — "Tell Me Something Good", Eduard Khil — "I am Glad Because I'm Finally Returning Home" (, Kid Cudi — "Day 'n' Nite" or "Pursuit of Happiness", Killer Be Killed — "Wings of Feather and Wax". Written by Beth Ditto as a fiery response to the Federal Marriage Amendment – which would have constitutionally outlawed same-sex marriage in the USA if passed – the Gossip’s biggest song had three stabs at fame before it eventually hit gold. From there, the song surges elegantly to a climax so passionate it’d make even the most granite-hearted cynic gaze, clench-jawed, into the middle distance. How about this for serendipity? As of march 2016, this website contained profiles of 8,600 musicians. A thumping, hypnotic track with a soaring sing-along chorus – “Stop! The track came with an anti-war video and was their first to not feature the band in any way. At the peak of their powers with 2001’s ‘Discovery’, everything the duo did sounded so damn effortless. Cue keyboards. No matter, its string-laden majesty was truly a thing of wonder. The result was a lovelorn classic that, although haunted by the ghosts of Depeche Mode and Erasure, stood on its own thanks to the duo’s uncluttered alchemy. It’s the standard soundtrack to gay clubs and hen nights. The moment where Radiohead finally left behind the limitations of being an alt.rock band and embraced a whole wide world of weirdness that made ‘alt’ seem as silly a word as it was. George Ezra — "Budapest" or "Shotgun" in Europe and Australia, indisputably the former in North America. Hathaway and Roberta Flack — "The Closer I Get To You", Screamin' Jay Hawkins — "I Put a Spell on You", Sophie B. Hawkins — "As I Lay Me Down" or "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover", Headstones — "When Something Stands for Nothing" or "Smile and Wave", The Head and the Heart — "Down in the Valley", Overall — "Crimewave" is their most well-known song in part due to the, Heatwave — "Boogie Nights" or "Always and Forever", Heavy D and the Boyz — "Now That We Found Love", Cassadee Pope — "Wasting All These Tears", Hi-Five — "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)", Highly Suspect — "My Name Is Human", formerly "Lydia", Dan Hill – "Sometimes When We Touch" or "Can't We Try", Hillsong UNITED — “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)”, Hilltop Hoods — "The Nosebleed Section", "Chase That Feeling", "1955" or, Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall — "Juju on Dat Beat", Hoku — "Another Dumb Blonde" or "Perfect Day", Rupert Holmes — "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)", Honeyz — "Finally Found" or "Won't Take It Lying Down", Bruce Hornsby and the Range — "The Way It Is", Thelma Houston — "Don't Leave Me This Way", Hunters & Collectors — "Throw Your Arms Around Me", Hurt — "Rapture" (although "Ten Ton Brick" was their highest-charting hit).
