I'm deciding between these

The Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers
Interpol - Obstacle 1
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

but really, my favourite track since March 2002 might be

Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened
Peaking Lights – Amazing and Wonderful
Wild Beasts – We Still Got The Taste Dancin' On Our Tongues

or something else I can't think of right now.

when was 2002?

The Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers

By a country mile.

Lots of other good stuff, but, of those, that track is head and shoulders above the rest, imo.

- Actually,
  
  that might not strictly be true. Cash doing Hurt absolutely breaks me. But as an old song being done by a now dead heritage artist, it feels like it's out on it's own as the odd one out and doesn't entirely fit in with the spirit of the vote, so I'm exempting it.
  
  Rounding out my top 10, in no particular order: Dizzee, Goldfrapp, Gossip, Franz, Kelis, Outkast, PJ, YYYs.
  
  Seven Nation Army has been tinged by association with the footy and general overplaying. Same goes fire Over and Over, albeit to a lesser extent. All My Friends ranks too low as an LCD release compared to their 1st album era singles (prefer their earlier stuff!).

  - /\ agree with all of this entirely
    
    Also, that Damien Marley track in the shortlist is a little tokenistic isn't it?

    - I know I was harsh to Paper Planes in last year's NME 100 thread..
      
      .. but there's something quite cool in the way she takes a sample from something very downbeat and sour (and one of the Clash's few truly great songs), and turns it into a soaring anthem

Isn't this just ripping off last year's "100 Greatest Songs of NME's Lifetime?"

I would liveblog this if not for the above and the fact they think The Importance of Being Idle and Clocks are still worth listening to. FFS

    P.S. Is it only me who thinks In for the Kill is the best single of the last 10 years? I know it's a tiny bit "Reflex" (the bar chain, not the band or song..)

  - this is way too hard
    
    My emo heart is being torn to shreds by the idea of voting for Yeah Yeah Yeahs over Bright Eyes, The Shins or the Postal Service, but then at the same time I keep thinking pragmatically about what might make the top 5 and one vote may bump it into a winning position.
    
    'Milkshake' is incredible, but 6Music didn't really play 'Acapella', so I'm not sure it has a chance.
    'Roscoe' is pretty much a perfect song, but I fear people might have forgotten that.
    'Paris' is one of my favourite songs.
    'Hey Ya' is one of my favourite songs.
    'The Rat' is one of the greatest songs ever captured in a studio.
    I released 'Oh My God' so I should probably vote for that.
    
    (I voted for Postal Service)
