How depressing. I’m so old I do not know any of these songs.

 

[Cutch]

Mr Brightside

 

[Dumbstar]

All in all, it's been a pretty shit century so far going by those lists above. I don't have any suggestions mainly because I also can't think of anything decent.

I think this is more from your time

Not only that, I don’t know any of the artists save a few. I suppose there isn’t a singer on par with Ray Charles or Marvin Gaye or Freddie Mercury or Robert Plant for starters in this century?? Or songwriters like Lennon and McCartney or Dylan or Jim Morrison??
I‘m sure there is.

Never heard of it!

Colin you've given away your second account!

 

[Salt Bailly]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Sleep

Good shout. Moya would be my choice

100% chance it has I’d say.

The fact is we are all approaching middle age now and therefore music is getting progressively worse and will never be anything like as good as when we were in our prime.

It truly is mate. That whole come back album was excellent.

 

[RedMist99]

It truly is mate. That whole come back album was excellent.

Yeah agreed. Possibly my favourite album of the last few years. They're supposedly working on a new one which should be out this year too.

 

[Moby]

Sleep, Static, Moya etc are all great but it's far too niche to be a song of the century.

Mr. Brightside - The Killers

Still on the Billboard charts almost 2 decades after its release.

For such a popular song I feel like I never hear it. I had to go on Spotify to remind myself how it even sounds

I have had the opposite experience. I hear it played all over the place.

Sad but true.
