Now we're approaching the end of the decade, a couple of friends and I debated what songs will be associated with the decade from now on. I'm not talking about the best, or personal favourites, or even the most popular, necessarily. The songs that seeped into popular consciousness, and will forever be associated with these times by generations after.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Wannabe" are examples from the 90s; "Billie Jean" and "Livin' on a Prayer" from the decade before.
Here's a couple of nominations for the 00s:
Gnarles Barkley - "Crazy"
Beyonce feat. Jay-Z - "Crazy in Love"
OutKast - "Hey Ya!"
Kelly Clarkson - "Since U Been Gone"
Rihanna - "Umbrella"
Nickelback - "How You Remind Me" (....maybe)
TaTu - "All the Things She Said"
Kylie Minogue - "Can't Get You Out of My Head"
That's a list I'm comfortable with. Some of these songs may not have been hits everywhere, but i think they'll be remembered wherever they were. I wanted to include something by Coldplay and Girls Aloud, but can't really single out a particular song for either.
So, any other suggestions?
