4. The White Stripes: 'Seven Nation Army' (2003) - With its infectious underlying guitar riff, 'Seven Nation Army' is arguably the most recognisable release of the noughties. As legend goes, the riff, which continues throughout most of the song, was composed by Jack White at a sound check before a show in Melbourne, Australia in 2002. To this date, the Grammy award winning effort has retained its status as The White Stripes' pièce de résistance both on record and when performed live. It's so good, the Italian football team even adopted the track as their official anthem after winning the World Cup in 2006.

- 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.
