thank God the Angles tracks are gone, they're horrible compared to their classic stuff. they should have been the first Strokes songs out. I mean, 12:51 that low? 
it's the best top 20 we could have gotten after KOL were exterminated right in the beginning

Under Cover of Darkness isn't THAT bad (it is better than all singles from FIOE in the rate), Taken For a Fool should've been lower than it.
12:51 should've been a little higher too.
So many YYY's songs still in... Turn Into and Skeletons don't deserve top 20. 
Quote:
"Fell In Love With a Girl"
"Seven Nation Army"
"The Hardest Button to Button"
"Icky Thump"
"Maps"
"Y Control"
"Lonely Boy"
"Last Nite"
"Someday"
"Reptilia"

Let this top 10 happen, ATRL.

nothing on Angles is on a par with anything on FIOE or even before that. its songs sound way too poppy and messy. FIOE rocked, the guitarwork on Juicebox and HIAC is amazing.
and Turn Into is a very underrated song, with a beautiful melody & guitar solo. I'm glad it has made it this far.

FIOE is better as a whole album and YOLO is better than any song on Angles, but Under Cover of Darkness is amazing, I don't have problem with them doing a more pop sound, as long as the songs still have the straight drums and great guitar riffs which made me fall in love with Is This It, that 'bridge' before the chorus is infectious and the actual chorus is fantastic, also that song show how versatile Julian's vocals can be.

I was gonna rant a little why don't you at least give a comment about the songs.
But no one's here (and they should). LOL
A PM to the voters some time before revealing results wouldn't hurt, though.

So YYYs will own the top 10? This is a mess 
Hardest Button To Button is top 10 material, for sure 
Blue Orchid and Icky Thump are great and I would love to see them in the top 10, but I dont mind.
Gold On The Ceiling and Last Nite or Someday should have made it too. I mean, come on, half of those YYYs songs arent really that good and should have left instead of these... meh
If I could redo my votes, I would rate Heads Will Roll and Zero much lower.
