5. The Knife: 'Heartbeats' (2002) Famously covered by Jose Gonzalez, the original version of 'Heartbeats' is by far the superior. A slinky and seductive number it's relatively straight forward for a Knife song but still contains the Swedish band's trademark darkness and electronic vision. Karin Dreijer Andersson's voice is longing and emotional as she sings about the passion and consequent destruction of a relationship with stunning lines such as “You knew the hand of a devil, And you kept us awake with wolves teeth”.

- 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.
