17. Radiohead: 'Pyramid Song' (2001) – Radiohead's first single in three years, after none were taken from 'Kid A', was well worth the wait. Very different to their previous material, the track is largely piano driven and features curious wailing sounds from the instrument Ondes Martenot alongside Jonny Greenwood's typically mesmerising orchestral arrangements. Lyrically too it's deliciously ambiguous and even references Dante's epic 12th Century poem 'Divine Comedy'. Packed with so much depth, 'Pyramid Song' is yet another dizzying zenith in Radiohead's illustrious career.

- 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.
