Top 100 songs: 2000 - 2013 [#50 - #41]

[Benjamin]

I know Shaun normally does these kind of countdowns, but I thought I'd try my hand at one since I've I've predominantly lived my teenage years and adulthood from 2000 so have a fairly stable and varied grasp on the music from the last 13 years. I'm using a few sources, although not relying on them wholly as some rate some of the worst/most average songs among the best and I'll be using my own judgement, which some may be sceptical with but trust me, I'll be pretty reliable (I love Alanis but even I know she hasn't given one of the 100 best songs in the last 13 years). You may disagree with some of the choices, but tough. :tongue:

[Benjamin]

#100: Regina Spektor - Fidelity (September 2006)

TZZHaVIxUfA

The second single from her 4th album 'Begin To Hope' has been her most successful song both in the US and here in the UK. Although it only ever reached #45 in the charts it garnered a huge increase in the attention to her music, and rightly so, she's an amazing artist and this song is truly a nice little one to sing along to.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Beyonce - Crazy in Love
Rihanna - Dont Stop the Music
Usher - Yeah
50 Cent - In Da Club
Sean Paul - Get Busy
Ciara - 1 2 Step
Kelis - Milkshake
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body
Snoop Dogg - Signs
Destiny's Child - Say My Name

BETTER be in the top 20 :nono:

[Doogle]

Destiny's Child - Say My Name

BETTER be in the top 20 :nono:

Isn't that from 1999?

[Benjamin]

Usher - Yeah
50 Cent - In Da Club
Sean Paul - Get Busy
Ciara - 1 2 Step
Kelis - Milkshake
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body

:laugh3:

[Doogle]

omg will you include Alanis :amazed:

(even if all her "best" stuff came from 1990s)

[Roy Mars III]

TOO $HORT - BLOW THE WHISTLE for #1

[Z]

Looking forward to reading this and discovering some new music and rediscovering old music too!

[Kate!]

Will enjoy following this :)

Hopes for some banging dance anthems :love:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Isn't that from 1999?

I thought it was 2000 D:

[Doogle]

I thought it was 2000 D:

oh no you're right it was late 1999 in USA and 2000 in the UK

shame Ben has no taste and won't include it

[Samuel.]

I seem to remember you hating Mr. Brightside? :suspect: Am ready to be mad at this list.

[Benjamin]

#99: Placebo - The Bitter End (March 2003)

FOBeubfr-xY

Okay, so diehard fans will moan that this isn't their finest work, and they would be right, it isn't, but it is still some of the finest work we have had in the last 13 years. From their 4th album 'Sleeping With Ghosts' it managed to peak at #12 in the UK charts; which at a time seeing the end of the reign of girlbands, the new obsessions with reality bands/artists and garage was quite an achievement.

[LemonJam]

The Bitter End :love::love::love:

[Doogle]

Salman you were like 2 in 2000.

There's nothing wrong with being 2 in 2000 you ageist bitch -was actually 2 for half of 2000-

[Roy Mars III]

#99: Placebo - The Bitter End (March ]

:worship:

[Roy Mars III]

all those songs are terrible besides In Da Club

[Benjamin]

Which makes my opinion more objective and valuable, since yours will be based on nostalgia

No, it makes your opinion useless since you have no idea what was actually popular apart form what you were told. You probably won't even know half of this list. :crazy:

[Benjamin]

#98: Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (October 2007)

7_weSk0BonM

Shaun will no doubt hurl something across the room for me including this, and I'll be honest, I'm not a massive fan of her, but the fact that this song is one of the best (if not the best) selling singles worldwide from a reality TV winner and is actually not a bad pop song, I'd be silly not to include it. Peaking at #1 in well over 15 countries including the US (at a time when British artists rarely did that), her debut single proved that not all X Factor winners fade into the distance as soon as the show has finished.

[Shaun]

"alright mate"
"yeah do you like regina spektor"
"yeah but she's no leona is she"

already done with this list bye i am joking and will follow but that is a major error of judgment right there, you don't have to go with what was popular ben let your inner hipster SHINE

[Me. I Am Salman]

Anyway this thread should just be called 'Bens favourite songs of the 2000s: WARNING - no other opinions allowed on my precious decade!'

[Z]

"alright mate"
"yeah do you like regina spektor"
"yeah but she's no leona is she"

already done with this list bye

Leona Lewis did set a lot of records with that song though...

[Shaun]

Leona Lewis did set a lot of records with that song though...

I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY
IT'S MY OPINION BOO x

[Black Dagger]

90% of that list was a bit awful tho bub.

[Roy Mars III]

I am on the edge of my seat here, I need to know what song #97 is

[Marc]

I'm so excited

[Shaun]

*97 roy ffs :rolleyes: :mad:

[Roy Mars III]

I don't count a Leona Lewis song as a genuine entry

#97: Kanye West - All Of The Lights (January 2011)

2A_WMa5Asss

How this never did better is beyond me and most people I know. An amazing track that has one of the best collaborations of all time with Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Elton John, John Legend, The-Dream & Elly Jackson. The song is just powerful and even if not a fan of Kanye, you have to hand it to him that he produced this song beautifully and made what could have been an awful mix of artists a truly wonderful piece to listen to. Taken from ' My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' it served as the 4th single, and the full album version is the one you need to hear, not the radio version. Also the video can cause seizures. Not everyday you can claim to do that.

[Marc]

omg this song :dazzler:

[Roy Mars III]

:dance:

[Black Dagger]

I luv dis 1 tune.

[Shaun]

oh you want me to punch ben? why didn't you just ask

[Benjamin]

#96: So Solid Crew - 21 Seconds (August 2001)

g7VhofoV3qs

Now at the time this was a big tune, and was one of the first garage tunes to peak at #1, but I know a fair few people will outcry at this being in here. What makes this song interesting is that the rappers from So Solid Crew all had 21 seconds for their rap part (hence the name of the track). This group also started the musical careers for Oxide & Neutrino, Romeo, Harvey and Lisa Maffia. This song peaking so high also showed the prominence of garage as a popular music genre, taking over from the euro-pop and girl band era.

[Shaun]

TUH TUH TUH :dazzler:

[Black Dagger]

21 seconds ben just no

[Marc]

/bATe

[Marc]

Um exsqueeze me Ben but this song did not start the careers of Oxide & Neutrino :nono:

May I remind you of one of the better songs of the last decade.. BEFORE 21 seconds

hPgbITf6Pp4 :dazzler:

[Benjamin]

21 seconds ben just no

It was a big Garage tune, and once (for a short lived time) it was a big genre. /sob

[Samuel.]

What makes this song interesting is that the rappers from So Solid Crew all had 21 seconds for their rap part (hence the name of the track)



What.

This changes everything.

[Marc]

-loved garage music-

[reece(:]

What next Victoria Beckham songs? :tongue:

[Benjamin]

Um exsqueeze me Ben but this song did not start the careers of Oxide & Neutrino :nono:

May I remind you of one of the better songs of the last decade..

hPgbITf6Pp4 :dazzler:

Yes, but they were already part of So Solid Crew, which was the start of their musical career.

[Marc]

Success from their own stuff.. then this song.. perhaps your wording should be changed :idc:

[Benjamin]

#95: The Knife - Heartbeats (December 2002)

wcv3v6XfEvM

I love this tune (I prefer the Jose Gonzalez cover tbh) but it's a great song. It's one of the greatest electronica creations to come from the last thirteen years but alas, like most of the best tunes failed to do impressively in the charts, but luckily it hasn't been forgotten (like a lot of the songs that make the charts). Scandinavian music is where some of the best music lies.

[Shaun]

:love:

[Benjamin]

#94: System of A Down - Aeriels (June 2002)

L-iepu3EtyE

The heavy metal band's offering of a softer song did them much justice, showing that they could do more than loud, heavy songs. The 3rd single from the album 'Toxicity' it gained the band a second nomination for the Grammy's in 2003.

[Benjamin]

#93: Icona Pop - I Love It (June 2013)

UxxajLWwzqY

Finally released in the UK, after over a year from everywhere else, this surprisingly managed to claim the #1 spot in the charts this week. This happy, summery synthpop song from the Swedish duo goes to show that not all music this year has been poor and this song will get into your head and make you sing without even realising it. We do love it.



[

[LemonJam]

Heartbeats & Aerials :love:

I prefer the Knife version to the Jose Gonzalez one tbh.

[Jenn-CityIVLyfe]

I love to hate "I Love It." So darn catchy.

[Benjamin]

#92: Ian Van Dahl - Castles In the Sky (May 2001)

JjTV8i_KjXM

One of the biggest dance songs of 2001 and the decade, this song was a massive success in the clubs and the charts and rightly so. Unlike a lot of dance that was a bit trashy and too europop this won over many fans who would often blast it from which ever music source they could.

[Marc]

Addited To Base pls

[Benjamin]

****ing internet is so slow tonight. :mad:

[Marc]

Do a Shaun and give us some clues.. e.g. 'the next 5 songs are... - r'n'b, pop, ballad, garage and an electro belgian duo'

[Jenn-CityIVLyfe]

This song for #1 plz kfVsfOSbJY0

[Benjamin]

The next ten songs will take about 9 hours to post as my internet is being a ****. ;)

[Shaun]

ian van dahl <3

[Jenn-CityIVLyfe]

Hoping for an Evanescence song in here tho.

[Benjamin]

#91: Bloc Party - I Still Remember (April 2007)

5R-9IgWD36A

The second single from their second Album 'A Weekend In The City' this amazing tune played throughout many a uni dorm that year and gave the band another top 20 single in the UK and also giving them their best position in the Billboard Top 100 at #34.

[Shaun]

:worship:

[LemonJam]

oh God yes @ I Still Remember :love:

Amazing list so far.

[Z]

This is a brilliant list so far Ben and I don't think you should have to justify why songs are in the list against what people might think. 21 Seconds is a garage classic and cleverly written; Bleeding Love turned the X Factor into a show that produced pop stars and not just Saturday night karaoke TV and it sold massively etc. looking forward to more!

[Benjamin]

#90: Plaid - Squance (May 2001)

YOIpHD1nS_A

The 4th album from the British electronic duo saw this track take the limelight during a time when this style of music wasn't popular or mainstream. Unfortunately they have never quite had the success that Aphex twin has had but Plaid seem to stick to what they do best regardless of it being popular.

[Marc]

what is that

[Benjamin]

#89: Naked & Famous - Young Blood (June 2010)

0YuSg4mts9E

Another of those songs people expect to do well in the charts but doesn't. I first came across this song when the Kiwi post-punk revival band played in Melbourne and on returning to the UK found it being often played on the radios here. This song just makes you feel happy when listening to it. They were compared to MGMT, but never saw the big success like they did.

[Marc]

[Benjamin]

#88: Röyksopp - Eple (July 2001)

tf_ieWnu-SE

The second single from their debut album 'Melody A.M' is also one of their finest pieces of work. A hypnotic song and video leaves you feeling rather chilled. The title is Norwegian for Apple, a little fact for you.

[Black Dagger]

My Kele :lovedup:

And TNAF >>>>>>>>>>>>

[Shaun]

eple & young blood :worship:

[Benjamin]

#87: Evanescence - Bring me To Life (April 2003)

3YxaaGgTQYM

Released at a time when rock wasn't an overly popular genre for the masses, this managed to win over a fair few fans to the genre for Amy Lee alone. Claiming the #1 spot for 4 weeks (which back then anything over 2 weeks was considered remarkable) this thrust Evanescence into the forefront of female led rock bands for this decade and they managed to garner worldwide success.

[Marc]

87?!?!?!

[Shaun]

-hates it; hates them-

[Marc]

My Immortal > but still

[Benjamin]

#86: Rihanna ft Calvin Harris - We Found Love (September 2011)

tg00YEETFzg

This became one of the years biggest dance tunes and as much as you may not like either artist, it really was a great production. The catchy chorus from Rihanna mixed with the handy work of Harris made this song an instant worldwide success that could be heard from pretty much every club, radio, car and iPod.

[Shaun]

:dazzler:

[Marc]

Is that Rihanna being British or just a Manc girl

[Marc]

Nvm idc /bate

[Black Dagger]

urgh rihanna.

[Benjamin]

#85: The Kooks - Ooh La (October 2006)

fVUD2pvytQ4

The 6th single from their debut album gave them another top twenty hit. This catchy little number was often heard blasting around most students' uni dorms that year, and was on of the most played on the jukeboxes in the pubs.

[Shaun]

is naive in your list? if not it's soooo much better :love:

i liked them, though. not really a band with longevity... third album was crap... but still.

[Benjamin]

#84: Lasgo - Something (May 2001)

QWbAaTDlBls

One of the most memorable dance tracks from the first half of the 00's this offering from the Belgian trance group gave them a short lived height of fame across the waters.

[Benjamin]

is naive in your list? if not it's soooo much better :love:

i liked them, though. not really a band with longevity... third album was crap... but still.

Of course Naive is in there. :love:

[Shaun]

lasgo :love: the UK went through a drought of random one-hit-wonders from DJs towards the end of the noughties... glad that's changed recently though (nicky romero, duke dumont, bingo players)

[Marc]

Lasgo :lovedup:

I bloody loved this song

[Benjamin]

#83: Eminem ft Dido - Stan (December 2000)

gOMhN-hfMtY

Probably his most successful song and most loved overall across the population. This collaboration from Eminem and Dido proved to be a good move for his career and hers. Making #1 in over 15 countries this still stands as his best selling song.

[Benjamin]

#82: 30 Seconds To Mars - Kings & Queens (October 2009)

hTMrlHHVx8A

This song just sends a burst of power and determination through you when listening to it, and gives you the sense that you can achieve anything. A powerful song taken from their 3rd album 'This Is Was'.

[Marc]

Eoin will be fuming

[Shaun]

:love:

their new songs though :/

[Benjamin]

#81: Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. (May 2005)

pw8PpYBiDsc

How this never did better than the truly awful 'Dare' is beyond me, but hey ho. This song is one of the finest pieces to be delivered from Damon Alburn and also gave the Gorillaz their highest ever peak on the Billboard at #14. The rapper featured is De La Soul.

[Shaun]

Dare is not truly awful :nono:

but yes this is better. probably top 10 greatest songs of the decade. :worship:

[Drew.]

Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love for top 10

[Shaun]

don't lie >

[Roy Mars III]

fergalicious

[Shaun]

definition

[Benjamin]

Tbh, the top 20 is just Black eyed peas.

[Shaun]

:rolleyes: such a stan

[Benjamin]

I know. :(

[LemonJam]

30 seconds to Mars are probably one of biggest one trick ponies in the business but when they nail it, they really nail it (The Kill & From Yesterday :love:)

Feel Good Inc too :love:

[Benjamin]

#80: Infected Mushroom - Scorpion Frog (August 2003)

lG8MhGQi5B8

Now this list isn't just about those indie/pop/rock songs that most people like to list, this covers all genres and psy-trance is no exception. This song hails from the Israeli duo's fourth album 'Converting Vegetarians' and was popular amongst the hardcore fans of getting off your tits and dancing like a twat because you just didn't care.

[Benjamin]

#79: Outkast - Ms. Jackson (January 2001)

MYxAiK6VnXw

Something about artists fourth albums, this was the second single from their fourth album 'Stankonia'. Peaking at #2 in the UK, it gave them their highest chart position over here and gave them a lot more attention. One of their finest pieces of work and one of the finest songs to come from that year.

[Benjamin]

#78: Daft Punk - Digital Love (August 2001)

mjli3hj0ZkM

Before they released 'Get Lucky' they actually had music before that which had fared well. This beautiful track came off their second album 'Discovery' and gave them fourth top 15 hit. And people say the French can't make music. :nono:

[Benjamin]

#77: Gotye ft Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (July 2011)

8UVNT4wvIGY

I remember when I first played this in plug and most of you hated it. Then about 8 months later it was #1 and most people loved it. It went on to be the biggest selling single that year in the UK and in the world. Not bad for somebody who hasn;t really garnered much attention before or after this hit.

[LemonJam]

Miss Jacksons a contender for top 20 songs of all time for me.

[Jords]

Ms Jackson should be a lot higher.

[Shaun]

don't you dare put digital love below twinkle twinkle little star ever again

[Benjamin]

#76: Kings Of Leon - Fans (July 2007)

H1hgRDRc3ug

Before KOL got all annoying they actually had some great music. This track being one of them and one of the last of them. The second single from their 3rd album
this little number is a song dedicated to their fans in the UK as they were at the time more successful here than in their native US.

[Benjamin]

#75: Destiny's Child - Say My Name (February 2000)

sQgd6MccwZc

Arguably one of the best female bands of all time, this saw them start to get a lot more attention in the UK, gaining them their first top 3 hit. The band at this point had changed line up and was the first time we saw Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin.

[Benjamin]

#74: Nine Inch Nails ft Marilyn Manson - Star****ers, Inc. (May 2000)

tSHeWnGYVn8


They have had a few better songs than this, but those are all in the 90's. This one is probably one of their finest from this side of the millennium and they teamed up with Mr. Manson himself.

[Shaun]

star****ers :love:

[Benjamin]

#73: Ludovico Einaudi - Nightbook (October 2009)

OB3wgiaOOvA


This man is a beautiful genius. He has created some of the best pieces of music this millennium and it never gets dull. He really knows how to work your emotions when composing and this song is one of his finest. If you are not familiar with him, you really should be.

[Shaun]

einaudi :love: not heard this one though.

[Benjamin]

#72: Djuma Soundsystem - Les Djinns [Trentemoller Remix] (June 2006)

2qzEEISZYbI


If you are a fan of chilled music then this should be right up your alley. Not many remixes are better than the original, but this is. This is one you can chill to with a beer on a sunny day (on those rare occasions when we have them).

[Benjamin]

#71: Crazy Town - Butterfly (November 2000)

LWnP9r222DY

This was their signature song, and really all that they are known for, but it's enough as it's a superb song. Only getting to #3, it still managed to be the 23rd best selling single that year in the UK.

[LemonJam]

Butterfly :love::love::love:

[Benjamin]

#70: Tenacious D - **** Her Gently (September 2001)

rvdYly4A5W0

Well this song caused a little bit of uproar at the time with many music channels initially refusing to play it, but in the end a few did. This song, although probably not the greatest song in the world, is great to just sing along to at the top of your voice.

[Benjamin]

#69: R. Kelly - The World's Greatest (September 2002)

WgcovIu3k9o

Featured on the film 'Ali' this song became one of the anthems of 2002 when released. As far as R. Kelly goes this is up their with on of his finest songs.

[Benjamin]

#68: Faithless - Tarantula (December 2001)

1PQEmHqQpB0

The third single from their album 'Outrospective' this tune played across many dance clubs late in the night and proved to be one that favoured well with people.

[Benjamin]

#67: Pendulum - Slam (September 2005)

lMQYXiZZNF4

Long before Patrick got his hands onto Pendulum they had their debut album 'Hold Your Colour' and this song was the first major success they saw from it, although not their first single. This marked the slow rise of Drum and Bass.

[Benjamin]

#66: Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down (January 2006)

3n-9Rsn52Qk

Hardcore FOB fans hate this song as it saw the band burst into the mainstream area, but they can get over it, it's a great song. Reaching #8 in the UK it was their first top ten hit and probably their best song so far.

[Benjamin]

#65: N.E.R.D. - Rockstar (November 2002)

1Mq3jKAoSLc

Placing at #15 in the charts back in 2002 this fared better than their debut single and this song was widely used on adverts and computer games, usually the Jason Nevins remix.

[Benjamin]

#64: Adele - Hometown Glory (October 2007)

BW9Fzwuf43c

As far as debut singles go, this has to be up there with one of the greatest. The story behind it also strengthens its greatness, it's the first song she ever wrote and she wrote it in ten minutes.

[Benjamin]

#63: Nneka - Heartbeat (September 2008)

6ivg3J3h5Ps

Her first song to enter the charts in most countries, largely thanks to the remix by Chase and Status her mix of hip/hop and soul didn't go unnoticed and she looked to do well. However she seems to have faded into the distance again.

[Benjamin]

#62: Booka Shade - In White Rooms (June 2006)

BlfheZpfW5k

The German house duo have given a few good tunes over the last few years but this one tops the list. Released in the summer of 2006 it did very well across Europe.

[Benjamin]

#61: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home (January 2010)

DHEOF_rcND8

What is not to love about this? The second single form their album 'Up From Below' this song made sure that people knew who they were.

[Shaun]

all of these 60s :love:

I was legit going to do a 200 favourite songs (ever) thread :laugh: now I'll look like I'm copying you and Stu :sad:

#60: Avril Lavigne - I'm With You (November 2002)

dGR65RWwzg8

The third single from her debut Album 'Let Go' peaked at #7 in 2002 but has had various reappearances back in the top 100 over the last 11 years. At the time, and still to this day people believe that this should have been her debut single, not 'Complicated'.

[Shaun]

*cuts wrists*

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

At the time, and still to this day people believe that this should have been her debut single, not 'Complicated'

which people

[Shaun]

Complicated = 1000000000x >

[Benjamin]

#59: Crystal Castles - Untrust Us (March 2008)

tZu3EUVJ8-4

Taken from their debut album this song along with 'Alice Practice' grew in popularity online well before they had even become a proper official band and helped destine them to the world of music greatness.

[Shaun]

(also you reminded me to do an avril toptens next ty)

Untrust Us :love: (same video as Avril's though LOL) [nvm you edited]

[Benjamin]

#58: Mel C ft Lisa Lopes - Never Be The Same Again (March 2000)

klCXBkn0VGs

Okay, she's an ex Spice Girl, but she could actually sing and had talent and this song all things aside was pretty darn good. Taken from her debut album, this showed why she was the superior Spice.

[Shaun]

:worship:

Northern Star and I Turn to You :worship:

[Benjamin]

#57: Azealia Banks - 212 (December 2011)

i3Jv9fNPjgk

This song took the clubs wordwide by storm when it was released. Unlike most artists this song gave her a lot of potential to be the next big thing, alas, she ****ed it all up for herself.

[Shaun]

-has no more praise left for this song, I think I've used it all up :laugh:-

[GypsyGoth]

212 :lovedup:

[Benjamin]

#56: Electric 6 - Danger! High Voltage! (January 2003)

2a4gyJsY0mc

This song was so close to being #1, **** you David Sneddon. Although the band have vanished into obscurity they had a few big hits back in the day, this being the biggest.

[Benjamin]

#55: The Streets - Has It Come To This? (April 2001)

KTS6INVmZGI

The debut for the band and a big leap forward for pushing forward the Garage genre. This song was by far one of their best and tbh the album 'Original Pirate Material' as als one of the best albums from the 00's.

[Benjamin]

#54: Lady GaGa & Beyonce - Telephone (January 2010)

2hsUXhlNbMs

What do you get when two of the biggest females of pop join forces? An amazing track is what. You can hate and criticise either artist but this is just pure excellence in terms of pop.

[Benjamin]

#53: KoЯn - Here to Stay (June 2002)

pr3x7tS__dE

Okay it's no Freak On A Leash, but it's still an amazing effort from the Nu metal band, released from their 5th album it remains their highest lacing chart entry at #12.

[Shaun]

telephone is pretty generic I think

[Benjamin]

#52: Sonique - It Feels So Good (May 2000)

hVzvdCKuu4w

So this was originally released in 1998 but never really did much, then two years later was re-released and so far is the biggest selling dance song of the 21st century. Bet she is thankful it got re-released, lol.

[Benjamin]

#51: Finley Quaye ft. William Orbit - Dice (March 2004)

RcxQxh6J83I

Often to be found on many a chillout album, this song was largely overlooked at the time and but did well radio play wise. One of the nicest songs to come from the last thirteen years.

[Benjamin]

#50: Blu Cantrell ft. Sean Paul (May 2003)

wfTC2o05OEw

This was the 6th best selling single in 2003, and managed to hit #1 in the charts for a few weeks. This is one of the those songs you can't help but sing to when it comes on.

[Benjamin]

Their eleventh single was the one that broke them into major attention and was one of the most played songs on the radio in 2001. Despite NME slating the song it did really well.

Dr. Dre has produced some good material but this stands as one of his finest creations to date. Even people who are not fans of rap should be able to appreciate this song.

British rap has taken some major criticism over the years and rightly so, some of it is truly awful. However this song shakes some of those criticisms away.

They have produced some finer material, but this is their greatest from the last thirteen years, especially with the eerie sound at the start.

Some dance covers are never very good, but this cover has been one of the best to be made. Taking the clubs by storm in 2003 this has become a dance classic.

[Z]

You've got the Prodigy video under Angel City :laugh:

We Are Your Friends :worship:

[Benjamin]

Oh, hahaha, cheers for spotting that, Zee. :hugesmile:

:laugh: It's a pretty good song

Was it Shaun who got insulted by Scroobius Pip on Twitter?

not really :laugh:

I tweeted something like it was a shame how bad they'd gotten (because they have :idc:) and they retweeted it... didn't say anything about it though... and I think 3 or 4 fans replied :shrug: generic "**** off mate" stuff. Not fussed :hmph:

[Shaun]

The Next Episode and We Are Your Friends :worship:

Pass Out above both of them... :yuk:
