nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Nollnolltalet is zerozerodecade in English and nollnolltalet.se is an initiative from the Swedish music magazine Novell to be a place for Swedish people to discuss the music of the last decade and - most importantly! - to present the best songs of the 00s from a poll of 100 invited people. One song will be presented each day until December 31st, when number 1 will be presented. The list so far:

94. The Ark, »Calleth You Cometh I«
95. Damien Rice, »The Blower’s Daughter«
96. The Coral, »Dreaming Of You«
97. Bloc Party, »Banquet«
98. Black Strobe, »Italian Fireflies«
99. Milky, »Be My World«
100. Michael Jackson, »You Rock My World«

Not quite the usual suspects.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Dreaming of You by The Coral is a nice inclusion.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

I love "You Rock My World"!

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Nice to see some Damien Rice up there, but I'm still hoping for the day when "9 Crimes" starts to get some love. My personal favourite song of the decade.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Summing up the bottom 10.

91. Dizzee Rascal, »Fix Up, Look Sharp«
92. The Embassy, »It Pays To Belong«
93. Camera Obscura, »Lloyd, I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken«
94. The Ark, »Calleth You Cometh I«
95. Damien Rice, »The Blower’s Daughter«
96. The Coral, »Dreaming Of You«
97. Bloc Party, »Banquet«
98. Black Strobe, »Italian Fireflies«
99. Milky, »Be My World«
100. Michael Jackson, »You Rock My World«

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

The Ark is pure pop and I liked their song. The Embassy is represented by maybe their "greatest" song but I like "The Great Indoors People" better.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Henrik- when you say "invite people," they would be people in the music press/industry? Would this be considered a criticla list, then?

"You Rock My World" recevied practically no acclaim- I wonder if it's mentioned because of circumstance. It's hardly along his best material.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Yes, they are all somehow related to the music press/industry, so I will include the list.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

87. Felix Da Housecat - Ready 2 Wear

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

If there is anything I can say about Swedish taste in music, my experience is that it is wonderfully eclectic - from mainstream to underground, from high-art critic to average teenager. A lot of great songs that would never have gained public acceptance in the US are pretty mainstream. I have a feeling this list is going to reflect that.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Yay! "Cripple and the Starfish"! My 2nd fave A&TJ song (behind "Hope There's Someone")

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

10 more songs added to the list. 81-100 is as follows:

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

Did the site vanish?

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

I don't know what happened to my link in the first post. Was it wrong from the beginning?

Anyway, the correct link is nollnolltalet.se.

Thanks...

the link had worked, but something happened after the fact.

Re: Thanks...

A lot of this list is sort of baffling/all over the place, but I've gotta say the hip-hop selections thus far have been really spot-on.

Oohh...

Mimi Carey gets a nod. I still think "You Rock My World" is simply on the list to have Michael Jackson representation. I mean, at least "We Belong Together" had a handful of year-end citations.

65. The Hives, Hate To Say I Told You So
66. The Radio Dept., Where Damage Isn’t Already Done
67. Wilco, »Jesus Etc.

Re: 44-50

I'm tellin' ya, if this list doesn't have at least one track from Her Madgesty...

39. Destiny’s Child, Survivor
40. Johnny Boy, You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve
41. Phoenix, If I Ever Feel Better
42. Game feat. 50 Cent, Hate It Or Love It

35-38

35. Beyoncé, Irreplaceable
36. Rihanna feat. Jay-Z, Umbrella
37. Johnny Cash, Hurt
38. The White Stripes, Seven Nation Army

32-34

With "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at 32, I'd be surprised if this outlet ranked something like "Hung Up" higher- but, you never know. I mean, was 2005 that bad a year, that some of the most acclaimed tracks get shafted on a number of end-of-decade lists?

32. Kylie Minogue, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
33. The Embassy, Some Indulgence
34. Annie, Heartbeat

23-31

With 22 tracks left, I'm doubting Madge will find a place- that would mean one less Beyonce song, after all. lol

23. Beyoncé, Halo
24. Franz Ferdinand, Take Me Out
25. Familjen, Det snurrar i min skalle
26. Håkan Hellström, Nu kan du få mig så lätt
27. Britney Spears, Toxic
28. Aaliyah, Try Again
29. The Streets, »Weak Become Heroes«
30. Markus Krunegård, Jag är en vampy
31. Peter Bjorn And John, Young Folks

14-.

Beyonce owns this list. Will "Crazy in Love" be her last entry? lol

14. Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z, »Crazy In Love
15. Sade, »By Your Side
16. Sébastien Tellier, La Ritournelle
17. Morrissey, First Of The Gang To Die
18. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I., »My Love
19. Kings Of Convenience, I’d Rather Dance With You
20. Justice vs Simian, We Are Your Friends/Never Be Alone
21. Antony & The Johnsons, Hope There’s Someone
22. The Knife, Silent Shout

Re: 14-.

Only 3 mentions; that's not exactly 'owning'.

Re: 14-.

# 4. Broder Daniel, »Shoreline«
# 5. The Postal Service, »Such Great Heights«
# 6. Håkan Hellström, »Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg«
# 7. The Avalanches, »Since I Left You«
# 8. Daft Punk, »One More Time«
# 9. Robyn, »Be Mine«
# 9. Kleerup & Robyn, »With Every Heartbeat«
# 11. Jens Lekman, »Black Cab«
# 12. The Strokes, »Last Nite«
# 13. R. Kelly, »Ignition (remix)«

I bet that "Hey Ya" and "Heartbeats" are 2 of the 3 left. Not sure about the third, maybe "Crazy". That would mean no "Paper Planes" and "Get Ur Freak On" in this list.

Well...

4 if you count the Destiny's Child track. I haven't gone through to see if any other act has more entries.

Perhaps shining in the top 40 would be a better observation.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

What are the top 3? They don't seem to be posted on the website.

Re: nollnolltalet.se - the 100 best songs of the decade

My limited knowledge of the Swedish language leads me to believe they'll be posted at 23:30, 23:45 and 23:59 respectively. But I could be wrong.

That's right, and here they are:

# 1. The Knife, »Heartbeats«
# 2. Outkast, »Hey Ya!«
# 3. M.I.A., »Paper Planes«

Not a bad top 3 if you ask me.
