Best Popular Radio Song of the Past 10 Years?

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

 

This song Pompeii by Bastille is brilliant. It got me thinking that it might just be the best top 40 type song in at least 10 years or so.

 

Only a few off the top of my head can rival it, but it's just so complete and smart.

 

And here's the acoustic version of it because acoustic versions generally make any good song even more amazing.

 

 

What say you, Huddle? Any other great radio songs that come to mind in the 2000's era?

Sorry, I listen to Sirius/XM and not any of their Top 40 channels. It has to be at least 10 years since I've listened to terrestrial radio.

It's hard to avoid the Katy Perry's and Miley Cyrus' of music at my age, but it's refreshing when something like this pops up every once in a while.

Another example of a great radio song from the mid 2000's era.

If I ever hear "Blurred Lines" on the radio again, I think I may blow a gasket.

[Dpantherman]

Get Lucky. I got tired of Blurred Lines, but I'll love Get Lucky forever.

every single "popular radio song" sucks. fact.

[KendrickPanther]

I like that song by Gotye. I don't listen to modern music much.

Not true. Give me a couple of examples of music you dig and I'll find a song that was popular on the radio that you'd like. ;)

[KJ89]

I like pretty much any music that isn't modern pop or whatever the fug you call that pompei crap.

but once it becomes a popular radio song and I'm unable to avoid hearing it each day, forget it. It sucks.

Well the Pompeii song would be alternative rock. And it's dope as hell.

[KJ89]

if that's rock than shoot me

[KJ89]

Actually I do remember an Atomic Bitchwax song being somewhat popular across a handful of legit radio stations. That certainly didn't get old.

*Then...

 

And if you're running with the "it's featured on the radio, therefore it's automatically terrible" type of logic, then you're just being pompous, bruv.
