Top 20 Songs Of The Noughties According To The British Public (Yougov poll)

I'm not sure if I agree with everything on the list being enough to sum up the past decade. Coldplay being on there makes sense; they have been a major group for the past ten years. But... not sure about the rest of it. I dunno. Some of those just strike me as one-hit wonders that nobody cares about now. Sure, I like Franz Ferdinand still and enjoy their works, but I guess you could say that they were looking more at the sound that "Take Me Out" has rather than the song itself; there were a lot of bands that went for that sound around the time that Franz was still popular.

Black-Eyed Peas should go rot, and Winehouse I'm not a fan of (particularly because "Rehab" is just annoying...).

I'm not even sure who Take That is.

Yes, Lord XYZ, we get it.

You have shit taste.

Of all the songs, you pick the time when The Black-Eyed Peas sold themselves out by letting an anonymous white female singer into the group to boost record sales?

You're making the wrong argument.

You thinking the album is good, with great vocals and songwriting is pure opinion.

If she has a technically gifted voice, then she's talented objectively.

That's the only way anybody is objectively talented.

Take That right good songs that hit their target audience really well. Whilst i dont agree, im unsuprised to see them appear in the popularty poll.

Crazy was an amazing song.

Outkast have done much better songs.

Stan is one of the eminem songs i like least.

In your opinion. I personally believe the ability to write music is a talent.

Anyone can write music. Whether than music is deemed good or bad is subjective. Which is the point AC is making.

Video sums up all the shit the media corporations spoon feed to the general public.

**** Simon Cowell.

Yawn.

It annoys me that people bought a single with no intention of actually listening to something new. I'm all for sticking it to the man and that, but couldn't we have done it with a song that isn't nearly twenty years old?

I know the lyrics are all really relevant and all that shit. But Rage Against the Machine are a big band, all it was was one song that everyone can grasp in seconds replaced by another.

Simon Cowell has done nothing wrong. If people didn't want to buy shit, he wouldn't make any money. Good on him for taking advantage of idiots.

I don't remember voting in this poll. Must be some other public.
