20. The Rapture: 'House of Jealous Lovers' (2002) - If The Strokes made bands cool again then The Rapture got people back on the dancefloor. Arguably as influential as their New York counterparts, but nowhere near as lauded, this group of Brooklyn based dance-punks sparked a fire the results of which can still be heard in the last days of this decade. 'House Of Jealous Lovers' is The Rapture's calling card, four minutes of spasmodic, limb flailing, head bopping brilliance complete with more cowbell than your average farmyard.

- 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.
