A few nitpicks:

1. While they had good albums this decade, I have trouble putting Bruce Springsteen or U2 high on the list, because they had far better decades than the 00's, and it pushes away a lot of newer artists who had their prime in the last 10 years.

2. The two Eminem songs you picked puzzled me, because there is no way that they are better than Stan, Lose Yourself, The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, or Kill You. Ditto Never Let Me Down

3. The list is way oversaturated with Gorillaz songs. Personally, I think 2 or 3 would have sufficed.

I agree with alot of your list, especially the inclusion of Bruce Springsteen..
And I agree with Alt-Rocker77 in his 2nd point, about Eminem having better stuff, and Never Let Me Down, is probably my favourite ever rap song, well that or B.O.B

1. Perhaps I could have removed a little of the U2 but in my opinion the 00's have been one of Bruce's best decades. They certainly are my favorite Bruce decade Razz U2's Beautiful Day is also one of the best things they have ever recorded.

2. All the Eminem songs you have mentioned I have played to death in the past. Now that you mention it "Lose Yourself" should have been up there. The rest as I said probably would have got there if I hadn't played them so much. Sing For Moment like Lose Yourself seems so inspirational. Beautiful on the other hand is still "new" in my mind and gets a lot plays on my mp3 because of it. Wink

3. Gorillaz were my old favorite band Smile As a result I end up being a little biased for them Rolling Eyes

Thank you Raineywins and Alt-Rocker77 for your comments Smile

Hi,
I don't care for much of your list BUT - and that's a big one - Dick around wouldn't be far from topping mine - you obviously know how amazing it is - AND there'd definitely be a Neil Hannon one, though probably one off Regeneration or A Lady Of A Certain Age. I really think Regeneration is his last really great album, last 2 have their moments but a lot weaker. Anyway very good choice for n°1 spot sir.
