I like about 6 of those songs, hardly any of them are "true greats". They should rename it the "10 best indie songs"

Although it still wouldn't be accurate

EVER?!!!! I know these things are often, and sometimes understandably, slanted towards modern music. But music began in 1984?! Oh dear oh dear.

Dont look back in anger and live forever maybe should be up there...

Also Bohemian Rhapsody should be there.

Plug in Baby isn't even in the top 10 Muse songs. So after that I didn't even bother reading the rest

Killers song isn't even the best on on the album.

Who are these Muse people? they were on the VMA's last night. Nowt special. Like Radiohead and the killers combined.

They are, I believe, a popular beat combo.

Supposedly one of those "If you don't like them, you're not cool" sort of bands are Muse....

I'm obviously not cool.

Nor I, go in with Radiohead as a band beyond reproach amongst my peers, and beyond comprehension to myself.

Ash without the energy. And I quite like them.

hisroyalgingerness · Post by **hisroyalgingerness** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 8:52 pm

I quite like Muse. I fought against it for years, but I really like em. Especially the new song about the bankers

Quite obviously, the No.1 track ever recorded in a modern musical recording facility is Don't Stop Till You Get Enough by MJ. It's just perfect.

Post that something by Miles.

That list is an absolute embarrassment to whichever baffoon came up with it!

Well, why don't we come up with our own suggestions for a TW top 10 song list?

To start with what may turn out to be the oldest - 1928, i think:

Pirate Jenny's Song from The Threepenny Opera (Weill music, Brecht lyrics). i like this version of the English translations:
