I'm glad to see Wake Up as the Arcade Fire best song ; however I wonder if having so much different songs in the different list will allow them to have highly ranked songs.
And I'm really happy to see Frontier Psychiatrist too, one of my top 50 of the decade.

This is very good list despite a little too much Radiohead--I'm fine with Kid A as the number 1 album of the decade, but "Idioteque" as the number 1 song strikes me as strange. There are plenty of great picks here: "Wake Up," "Frontier Psychiatrist," "Losing My Edge," and "Digital Love" will all deservedly move up as a result of this list.

Great list, especially for the above, though no "B.O.B." is a horrid oversight, and nothing from Sound of Silver is flat-out puzzling.

That's great Chris! Now you need to send me the spreadsheet so that I can upload it to the web.

Re: Gigwise's 50 Greatest Songs of the 2000s

The new spreadsheet is up!

Thanks Chris!

Very good list. Much better than the Beyonce/Kelly Clarkson list by Pitchfork.
More lists like this, please.
