7. The Flaming Lips: ‘Do You Realize??’ (2002) - If, as a rule, resolutely upbeat songs are destined to slip into grating cheeriness, Oklahoma’s prime purveyors of psych-pop must have missed the meeting where this code was crafted. ‘Do You Realize??’ - surely the most uplifting song EVER about the inevitability of death - strikes a jaw-dropping balance of uncomplicated joy, wide-eyed wonder and genuine depth. Moving beyond words.

- 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.
