27. The Strokes: 'Hard To Explain' (2000) - We could come up with a clever pun here and say it's hard to explain why The Strokes 'Hard To Explain' is such a good song, only it isn't. Released as the band's first single, it reached number 16 in the UK and - thanks to its spikey garage guitars and irresistibly infectious lyrics - solidified The Strokes as one of the most exciting new groups of the decade. It still sounds as fresh and relevant as it did nine years ago.

- 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.
