Just to get something straight. This asshole Carter has went and taken one of the best songs of the last 10 years, (Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show, with a part of the chorus actually written by Bob Dylan) and f**king annihilated it. He deserves a fart in the mouth.
Assuming we can agree that it's not Wagon Wheel and that anyone suggests otherwise deserves a fart in the mouth....what
is the best song since 2003?
P.S. Do us a favour....if you put up a youtube link, title it and save people having to click the link only to be disappointed with the suggestion >:(
P.P.S. What's the chances of a consensus being reached rather than everyone naming just naming their own favorite? Asking a bit much?:P

This guy's music is really growing on me. Best of the last 10 years, maybe not. But like Captain Obvious it is hard to pick anything outstanding.
Agree with Capt Obvious. I'd struggle to pick out even one half decent song, never mind a great one. The music of today is absolutely brutal. And I don't think it's a case of growing older, tastes changing etc. It honestly is that bad.
music is not what it used to be, but 400 million odd viewers can't all be wrong

True. Between that fact and the 'Wagon Wheel' post in the other thread, it just got me wondering what classics there have been in the last decade and what the best might be. It's also why I haven't made any suggestions of my own to the thread yet - can't think of a winner! P.s. Ziggy, going by wiki, The Rising was 2002, so afraid it's out of the running!

No, but they just move the stage up the floor, so you still have a crowd on 3 sides.

Maybe nostalgia has got the better of me. Music is money exercise for those musicians involved however they still wrote and created songs that would inspire generations and most of them weren't manufactured.
Should we have to look harder to find good music? when i was a lad i switched on the radio and taped any song i liked for free. Nowadays i couldn't listen to the rubbish on the radio and the music channels on the television aren't watchable either. Good point about music being so readily available if only we had that back in the day.

An excellent opening shout. Great song.
It s got something but I dunno about great. Lyrics and music a bit forced.
The reason some people think music has somehow gotten 'bad' on an overall scale - outside misguided nostalgia - is because music has become much more unfiltered. Mass media used to be the primary source of information and buzz and record companies were the only ones who could afford the tech needed by artists to record their songs to a professional standard.
Now the means of production and distribution are democratised, a lad with a laptop, a decent mic rig and a bit of padding can record to a level at least comparable to major studios and we have access to every song under the sun for free in some guise online. We can try before we buy, that is if we even need to buy.
It all means there's more good music being produced than ever before in history but because the volume has become so high the noise has become huge as well.
You just have to be willing to try new music and take the black eyes that come with finding six song that are completely forgettable to find the one you love. The same as before in a way, just that now you are much more empowered as a consumer.

Y'see, I think some people will read that as 'great' rather than 'good'.
I think there was almost surely more great music being produced in the 60's and early 70's (for example) and alot of that had to do with the birth of new genres and new technology. In the same breath everyone remembers the Beatles and the Stones but there was a whole hell of alot of forgettable and copy cat music back then, too. Every era looks better in retrospect because no one is going to spend much time remembering the music they didn't like.
Right now there is much more music being recorded and released than ever before so the reason there's more good music now has alot to do with brute force - everything can't be crap and even if only a small percentage can be classified as good that adds up to a massive amount of music.

I'm looking through the old iTunes library (with the ordering switched to year of release) but rather than it being hard to find good songs it's harder to choose which song by an artist I like the most. I'll see what I can dig up later.
Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead
American Idiot; or anyone for about three songs from that album.

How many of these songs will be known in 30 years, in the way that people are familiar with works by Buddy Holly or the Beatles, although they were before they were born?
You're nothing on this board unless you post some lesser known music in an attempt to show you're not "a sheep". Same for the boys that don't watch films unless they have subtitles as that automatically makes it better ::)
Has there really been that many obscure bands/artists mentioned?
To me, yes. But I'm not one of the cool kids ;) and it's relatively unknown for a reason...
And that reason is...

But you want to be one by acting anti-cool so you appear to look cool. You rebel! :P
As for my (real) nomination, I'd go with Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.
Nailed me you bastard!

What era is that?
The era in which they released their music.
In that case I'd say yes, they did indeed write the best music of their own particular age.

Classic. I remember when we were being trendy in the 80's with OMD, Human League, etc....my brother was buying the Beach Boys Greatest Hits...we laughed at him then...we obviously knew fcuk all about music.

A bold claim, i'd say. I don't know what age you are - maybe you grew up in the 50s and 60s and heard the music that wasn't remembered.
But i'd be pretty sure that a lot of what will be remembered from the 80s, 90s, 00s will be what was popular. And that definitely wasn't necessarily what was best.
Not the best song in the last ten years, but one of the best.

:) elements of truth there which I'm guilty of myself, but theres a joy in finding a musician (or a movie ) that the media haven't informed you about them.
Mainstream music is fizzy drink for the ears
Just shaving it for the 'Last Ten Years' list, but has to be the best song.

Teenage years were the 70's, yours? A lot of the popular music (eg Slade) from that decade was derided by so-called critics (not that I gave a fcuk about their
bullshit opinions), but it's now being recognised for it's merits.
I'd agree that to claim Buddy Holly and the Beatles wrote the best music of their particular ages is a bold one, but it's my opinion, and in my experience that's the only one that matters in terms of individual's musical tastes.
Take a chance and listen to some early stuff (50's and 60's), I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

90s for me. A mix of metal/rock/indie/britpop.
Totally agree that musical taste is subjective. Just that if you didn't grow up in the 50s and 60s (the era of Buddy Holly and the Beatles), then you can't really know what is forgotten from those years... and therefore it's difficult to claim that they wrote the best music of that era.
Music was music in those days (I mean it was played and sang live) and as they say "the cream always rises to the top". Most of the bands back then wrote their own songs and if you were good enough you got noticed and signed up. There wouldn't be much forgotten from those decades. By this I mean "Popular Music" as opposed to more obscure stuff.
