What do you think is the best song of the 21st century (so far)?

[Bloodshot Scott]

My list would look something like this:

Kid Rock - Picture
Eminem - Lose Yourself
Outkast - Hey Ya
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Plain White Ts - Delihla
Eminem - Stan
Radiohead - like Spinning Plates
Korn - here to stay
50 - many men
Tom Petty - room at the top of the world
TI - live your life
R Kelly - Ignition
Unwritten Law - rest of my life
Kid Rock - Roll on
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Coldplay - Clocks
Coldplay - warning sign
Beck - Lost Cause
Michael Jackson - rock my world
Strokes - last night
The Flaming Lips - do you realize
David Gilmour - Smile
Bruce springsteen - wrestler
NIN- every day is exactly the same
David Gray - as I'm leaving
Radiohead - True love waits
Sondoobie - confess
Lil Wyte - Acid
Tim McGraw - Stars go blue
Tim McGraw - I've got friends that do




I know I am leaving some out and I will add accordingly, but those pop into my head immediatly. Truly some smash hits in there. If I had to pick a song out of there I would have to say probably Eminem's Lose Yourself, although Rock's 'Picture' was the last song I can ever remember hitting the charts on pop, rock, and country at the same time. Truly an incredible feat.

[STDiva]

Outkast - Hey Ya

 

[LukeEl]

[Spleen]

My personal list is completely different to this, but I think in terms of worldly taste, these win;

Eminem - Stan (Admittedly ruined by radio stations over playing it)
Outkast - Hey Ya
Gnarles Barkley - Crazy

 

[L3ggy]

I'll let you know.

 

[PirateKing]

I'll let you know.

:why:

 

[Spleen]

:why:

Yeah, I don't get it either.

 

[Jagger69]

I nominate Soul Meets Body by Death Cab

Either that or the "Five Dollar Footlong" Subway song. Can't decide.

 

[roronoa3000]

Eminem: Lost Yourself

I mean Lose Yourself of course.

I can't decide between Lose Yourself, 8 Mile, Stan or Mosh for Eminem.

Outkast - Hey Ya

Thats Andre 3000 not really Outkast. Big Boi wasn't on that song.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]
