I LOVE all of these songs (except for the gay and ugly anthem by Aguilera, obviously ), but non of those were even close to being the ultimate highlights of this decade -- despite their success. I'd say "Irreplaceable", "Sexyback", "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", "Music" and "We Belong Together" are better examples of songs that were successful and had their impact on the music scene.

Um, didn't Bobby's list have "Lose Yourself" on it? And at #1, no less?
I'm not saying that none of those songs are important, or that any particular song that you listed is not important. What I'm saying is there should be no illusions that "Lose Yourself" not only is a good example of a song that was both successful and had an impact on music in general, but that it also had a bigger impact on society, as a whole. Out of all of the songs you listed, only "Sexyback" can make a case for itself, because it became so cool to say "I'm bringing sexy back", but "Sexyback" also did not have the same chart success "Lose Yourself" had. I can remember one day listening to the radio and actually hearing "Lose Yourself" on Top 40, Hot AC, Urban, R&B AND Alternative radio stations. Granted, if it had been at the same time, my head probably would have exploded. C'est la vie.
Look, it's fine that you think those five songs were very important this decade, and I'd be inclined to agree with you (though "Irreplaceable", I would argue, isn't even BEYONCE's most important song). I'm just offering my own opinion about important songs this decade, that's all.
Oh, and by the way...

"B.O.B." is not just the song of the decade-- it is the decade.

That's going directly into my sig.

Only 1 Beck? and Where's Muse?

It's Pitchfork. They have hated Muse for the longest time, for reasons that still make me scratch my head.
