I've been thinking about this for a while tonight - trying to think of the song that will be a measure of this decade and I finally got it when I heard Eminem was finally releasing another track.

For me "Stan" has to be the defining track of this decade (thus far) - one of the most hauntingly genius tracks I've ever heard. And I'm not neccessarily a hip-hop fan.

Of course this is just my opinion so... if today was the last day of the decade what do you think was the most defining song of the time - based on commercial success, innovation, content, etc.

Fell On Black Days, by Soundgarden. Everything seems to be hitting the fan.

But it came out in the mid-90's I think. It's an awesome song though.

Just to clarify I mean THIS decade - so a song released between 2000-2009 (but obviously for the purposes of this topic we'll ignore 2009 and the rest of 2008).

no, you're either just ignorant, or you're not looking hard enough for the great bands. seriously if you're just paying attention to the mainstream radio bullshit you're missing out.

and the defining song of the decade... geez, i couldn't possibly decide.

While I agree that most chart music is bollocks I do think that in order to musically define a genre you have to have a song everyone can relate to. Example: The Beatles epitomise the sixties. It's really hard to think of a single track that everyone will think "shit I remember that" - and they can picture the moment they heard it. Etc. Obviously with music being so subjective no one will agree but... I think Stan had the right mix of commercial success and was really clever.

And I certainly remember hearing it for the first time. I hated it because I thought "rap is teh shitterz". Then I grew up and learned to appreciate all music.

Guys can we quit the bitching. Like I already said - music is subjective. Everyone has an opinion and unlike other things that opinion is very personal.

It doesn't matter whether you disagree with what he likes or not. He's still allowed that opinion. Just like you are and everyone else.

Let's grow up now please.

Totally agree with the Daft Punk suggestion. That was one track I was mulling over actually. It just lacks the lyrical punch of "Stan" but yes - inspiring, memorable... even has that "space age" kind of feel.

Daft Punk made me respect about 3 genres I never thought of positively before.

I can respect another's opinions. I can't respect anyone who likes the Jonas Brothers. They are an abomination, a plague on this earth and to call the shit they play music should be a capital offense.

Holy shit New Born.

Bliss, Space Dementia or Citizen Erased are more 21st century defining though.

I don't know about this, but I have been listening to a band called the Black Tide lately, and I think they bring aspects of a lot of classic bands and make it pretty modern. I think there is where rock/metal is going in the future.

The song is real, but those clips are from different videos. From what I can tell, TI's parts are from his new single, "Whatever You Want."
