Close 2nd, might be the most innocuous song ever. I usually put it of the end of my mix when I go running, how heavy your legs can be you can not stop running during those verses (Nassim)
Thrilling rapping and a vigorous fusion of funk, hip-hop beats, metal and electro propel this song forward with the speed and energy of a hurricane. For me, no other song in the 00s felt more alive. (Dan M)
This song takes absolutely no prisoners in its frantic assault. Hot damn! (Moonbeam)

Cee-Lo's vocal acrobatics and the punchy guitar get all the credit, but it is the eerie background vocals that really sell this to me. (Moonbeam)
In a decade where mainstream and indie audiences travelled paths each time more divergent there was a song in the middle of the 00s that appeared to please everyone. It was not exactly pop or rap but it found the link between both styles (soul, you know), it sounded both retro and contemporary (neo-soul, that's it) but it succeeded mainly because it was GREAT. (Honorio)

This song hits me like a sustained lightning bolt. I remember the exact moment I first heard it driving to work at a new job to start a new life in a new country, but ever mindful of everything that I had left behind. As time has gone on, I've had less and less opportunity to communicate with (much less see) my loved ones, and I'll be damned if this song doesn't capture that longing ache. (Moonbeam)

This one's going to last forever. #4. (Evan)
I should like this a heck of a lot more than I do. It is wildly vibrant, but my favorite from The Love Below will always be "Prototype". (Moonbeam)
Blender tried to describe "Hey Ya!" like "electro/folk-rock/funk/power pop/hip-hop/neo-soul/kitchen sink rave-up". But the thing it was basically was pure fun. (Honorio)
So overrated, I liked it as a child but now? (Depeche Mode)

Thanks Petri !
what I love is : nicolas, henrik, honorio, danM with the same #1
Congratulations Petri for the great presentation. Could it be possible to post the Excels sheets? I would like to have especially the Excel sheets of every year (I keep a copy of every year Excel file of the other polls).
I like a lot the final results, although the final list was quite different to mine, 14 song of the Top 25 were outside my Top 25, including 3 of the Top 5. The obvious winners were: Outkast (#1, #4 and #13), Arcade Fire (#8, #10 and #14), LCD Soundsystem (#2 and #12) and Sufjan Stevens (#7, #18 and #19).
The opinions were widely divided in this Songs Poll, with only 18 songs with no haters. Even some songs on the Top 10 got a significant amount of haters, like "John Wayne Gacy, Jr." that three voters put on their bottom 10 (why oh why??), without these low votes probably could have reached the Top 5. And, talking about "John Wayne Gacy, Jr."...
And Dan, I didn't know we had the same favourite song, but I could have easily guessed as I feel that we both search for "the most graceful, sensitive and sublimely beautiful music ever recorded" (and we found it!)
The #7 for Sufjan proved the divinatory abilities of Henrik (please, Henrik, don’t dream about the end of the world!) and the four simultaneous #1 established a solid new link. So say goodbye to the H-Duo, to Nic & Hon and to the Paris Three and say hello to The Four Horsemen!!!
Naaah, Nassim, we are all part already of the coolest clan in the world: the Acclaimed Music Forum posters
Yeah, Nic & Hon strike again!! And a high correlation with Dan M too!
And a suprising high level of agreement with the overall results for sonofsamiam (even higher than mine!). I don't know how to explain it, I don't know if sonofsamiam got closer to us or it was the rest that followed sonofsamiam.
Honorio, as in previous polls you are my best friend in the albums poll but you betray me and team up with Dan, Nicolas and Harold...
So sorry Henrik, you know I love you
