47. Grandaddy: 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot' (2000) � Not many bands would choose to open their album with a nine minute epic about the futility and weakness of mankind at the turn of the millennium. But on 'Sophtware Slump', Grandaddy did just that. A kind of lo-fi indie anthem to parallel 'Bohemian Rhapsody', complete with changing movements, Grandaddy's audacity paid off on this synth led classic. Actor Jason Lee loved the song that he even named his son, Pilot Inspektor, after the track.

- 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.
