I'd have to chop that down to Arcade Fire, The National, Sigur Ros or Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Maybe Blur as well. Probably plump for Sigur Ros or Arcade Fire. Probably Sigur Ros. Probably.

I'm sure a lot of the artists (Foos, Primal Scream, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, The Maccabees, etc.) have released better singles in the last ten yers than those that are on that list but I guess they chose the most popular ones.

Of those 100 artists I'd probably replace 80 of them, although the majority would be well outisde 6music's remit (I don't believe I've ever head them play Cancer Bats).

[Mr. Cowbell]

Very tough this I've got it down to 2

Animal Collective - My Girls

Radiohead - There There

[fatyeti24]

probably like a lot of people here, i have heard/owned/enjoyed quite a few of those (and never heard quite a few too), but there are 3 that stand out as regulars when i'm playing tunes for my own pleasure.

and out of those three i'd have to go with 'House of Jealous Lovers' by The Rapture.

what i think is interesting is how many of those singles are not what i consider my favourite record from their respective albums. i think my choice above probably is, but my other two (LCD Sounsystem 'All My Friends' and The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes') aren't.

Flaming Lips - Do you realize??

.... probably

[pink_triangle]

Theres only 2 singles on the list that I listen to on a regular basis, Johnny Cash and Bright Eyes. Even though he didnt write the song himself, I would still plump for the former if I had to make a choice,

Only one allowed!

I like a lot of the list - I went for Nick Cave.

[1waveydavey]

Good thread!

Saw this the other day and struggled to pick something as there were loads I really enjoyed - Im guessing Elbow will have a very good chance of winning and I nearly went for that but opted for Midlake - Roscoe in the end.

Loved the Trials of Van Occupanther album and played and played and played it at the time so that is what swung my vote.

[radish]

I went for Goldfrapp's Strict Machine. None dirtier, grindier, best played loud on a very good bass capable steroier track. There are better songs on the list probably, but I had to pick one, so I did.

Mr Brightside - The Killers

They went shit after Hot Fuss but has there been a better pop song in the last 10 years?

[abdoujaparov]

Probably PJ Harvey

[metallimuse]

In a shock non Muse vote,Doves 'On A Day Like This' closely followed by Justice Vs Simian 'We Are Your Friends'.Of all time it would be The Coral 'Dreaming Of You'.

[metallimuse]

Obviously I meant Elbow lol!Fag break,it was cold.

[AcademicPistol]

Really good list, I went for Radiohead - There There.

[blue6field]

Some epic tunes on there, but the best sing a long for me is wake up by arcade fire

[ian the worm]

Just finally made my mind up (Klaxons) and voted. But only to find that the list is no longer view-able! Meh.

[kaosmark2]

Flaming Lips - Do You Realise

Nick Cave, QOTSA and Sufjan push it close, plenty of other awesome acts but in terms of one awesome song in that list Do You Realise has to take it. That at Jodrell Bank in 2011 was probably the best few minutes of my life.

[Spindles]

Wake up - The Arcade Fire.

Tough choice to make with some great songs in there, some right tripe also.

[ian the worm]

I went for Seven Nation Army in the end. I remember being absolutely blown away the first time I heard it, and is one of the few songs on the list that I would call a modern classic.
