19. Jay-Z: '99 Problems' (2003) - Since its release, '99 Problems' has arguably blossomed into Jay-Z's live magnum opus, lyrically cataloguing the rapper's career to that point. The guitar-driven song originally reached number 30 on the US Billboard chart, but only made its debut on the UK countdown in 2008 following Jay-Z's much talked about performance at the Glastonbury festival. It even made an appearance during the rapper's set at President Barack Obama's inauguration staff ball in January 2009, where Jay-Z altered the lyrics to: "I Got 99 problems but a Bush ain't one." Genius.

- 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.
