2. The Strokes: 'Last Nite' (2000) - A musical lifesaver. Before The Strokes everyone in Britain was getting excited about Travis and Turin Brakes, but then a group of scruffy New Yorkers turned up and flipped the whole world on its boring acoustic head. Sexy, smart and so, so cool The Strokes made music that was immediately timeless, indebted to past greats, but achingly current and a glorious sound of youth and hedonism. It may have been over played in subsequent years, but there's no better calling card for The Strokes than 'Last Nite'; the rambling stagger of a single that led the whole world to fall in love with Julian Casablancas et al.

- 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.
