29. Boards Of Canada: 'Dayvan Cowboy' (2005) - Five minutes of sheer aural ecstasy. A far cry from their previous long-player, the incredibly dark 'Geogaddi', the Scottish duo's fourth album 'The Campfire Headphase' was much more optimistic and 'Dayvan Cowboy' is the undoubted beacon of hope and central point. Two minutes of simmering electronica makes way for an almost euphoric guitar break and sweeping strings. The song is best enjoyed with the accompanying video of Joe Kittinger's world record breaking skydive jump from 19.5miles high.

- 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.
