They were completely out of their prime but still did their thing with these songs!

Empowering! It's about Elvis but I don't really like to think about that.

37. Ciara - 1,2 Step
Ditto

madonnas

25. Radiohead - House of Cards
Ok, this is actually an extremely touching ballad that I wish more people enjoyed (its peoples' least faves a lot of the time)
24. LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
This >>> All My Friends. END
23. No Doubt - Bathwater
Their best Ska/Pop/Reggae fusion.
22. Goldfrap - Utopia
The best Trip-Hop song that isn't from the 90s.
21. PJ Harvey - We Float
This song can calm down my nerves a lot of the time.
20. Cut Copy - Saturdays
You know those boring synth-pop-ish songs that they play all the time on modern alternative rock radio? This is basically like them, except GOOD.
19. The Go! Team - Ladyflash
This song destroyed me my Sophomore year of high school.
18. Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch
I loved this song so much in 8th grade, and I still love it! The longevity!
17. Beyoncé - Crazy in Love
Not her best single, that's Countdown! But this is almost as good, with a perfect bridge.
16. Jay-Z - 99 Problems
His most iconic single is his best. It captured the zeitgeist so well.
15. Aaliyah - More than a Woman
Captures the sleek production of Timbaland & co. and sexiness of Aaliyah's vocals and combines them.
14. Robyn - With Every Heartbeat
The precursor to Dancing On My Own has a better song structure and more emotive vocals imo.
13. Animal Collective - My Girls
The best hipster nonsense song of the decade.
12. Björk - Unison
Why wasn't this a single?
11. Girls Aloud - Biology
A year ago this would have been top 5. I'm sad it didn't get top 10 but those 10 songs are GOOD. OKAY?
10. Annie - Heartbeat
MMmmmmmm, sweet melancholy Pop bliss with the perfect voice for it.
9. The Knife - We Share Our Mother's Health
Gave "Dark Synthpop" a completely new and revitalized sound. Really, this song changed the game.
8. Peaches - **** the Pain Away
If you cannot recite the first verse to this song by heart, don't even talk to me.
7. Britney Spears - Toxic
Needs no explanation.
6. Missy Elliott - Work It
I had a hard time deciding between this and Get ur Freak On. I went with this because I feel like we just get more quotables that I need in my life.
5. Madonna - Music
Disco revival always is good when people try to bring something new to the table.
4. Outkast - B.O.B.
The best Hip-Hop song of all time!?
3. of Montreal - For Our Elegant Caste
Prince-esque indie pop about awkward sexuality. I dunno, it speaks to me for some reason.
2. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head
I dunno, I used to think it was overrated but I was really just being a hack. It's the 2000's answer to Blue Monday.
1. M.I.A. - $20.

This is kinda also the 2000's answer to Blue Monday since it samples it. But it's not really an answer since it's completely different. It also samples some boring band from the 80s but it only does that to expose the shallow nature of the original lyrics.

Yay Marrow, 1 Thing, Sow Into You, Pure Shores, etc.

Why I'm Not Your Toy over Tigerlily, In for the kill, bulletproof, quicksand??

It has the strongest hook & fits her voice the best IMO, also it's sorta 8 bit-y at points (not really but sorta). I like it a lot!

ITZ is my 2nd fave, I think Blackout will always be my favorite. Love your comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks I'm Not Your Toy and $20 are standouts, lol.

Playa Playa

Another great list! I love all these songs:

@michael

Excellent #1. Maybe mine too. It used to make me cry when I listened to it.

Penk

Ooh yes, almost perfect top 25! Need to get into Peaches too, I only know that song. Not a fan of the #1 though.

This isn't who I think it is, is it?

minho

Wow a lot of interesting picks! 20 Dollar as your #1 is shocking but I'm glad since its one my fave from Kala.

Glad to see Heartbeat, More Than A Woman, Music, B.O.B, and Biology make it so high!

V3$$3L.

Staunch member of the "$10 >" camp.

melomano

Bey, Brit, Madge, kylie

Ewan Chaos

Oh now I know that Sow Into You was your favorite from Ruby Blue!

Great list.

Not surprised to see you have $20 as your #1.

supaspaz

Oh, this is so, so good. You've recognized all the right classics ("Can't Get You Out of My Head," "B.O.B.," "Work It," "Toxic," "99 Problems," "Crazy In Love," etc.), but you've also got a couple of left-field picks in there ("Black Sweat," "Walking On a Dream") that are favorites of mine as well. I didn't think anyone else remembered them, let alone loved them as much as me!

Bloomers

I always love seeing House of Cards getting love and Someone Great

Cool lists though and nice to see Christina's Candyman there, her finest moment !
