31. At The Drive-In: 'One Armed Scissor' (2000) A musical sucker punch, 'One Armed Scissor' is a hit and run song it strikes fast and hard leaving the listener exhausted but exulted. Taken from the flawless 'Relationship Of Command' album, this lead single perfectly encapsulates the mix of energy and rage that At The Drive In consisted of showing the influence of Fugazi and Refused, but at the same time sounding entirely original and fresh. For full proof of the power of this song look up the bands live version of it on Later... With Jools Holland - seminal is not the word.

- What about Stronger by Kanye West?
- That was a Daft Punk song with some crappy lyrics over it.
- F#ck off with all your Radiohead!!!
- Well deserved Idioteque first place. That song never gets old, truly fantastic and inovative, even almost ten years later. Reckoner - from In Rainbows - deserved to be in the top 10 IMO. And great to see Seven Nation Army on the list, great song.
- Yay for Midlake's Roscoe!! SUCH a great song.
