My Favourite Songs Of The Noughties (So Far) #1
by Pick1 @ 2008-08-13 - 21:23:23

Shimmering, propulsive instrumentation and lyrics that speak of love, hope and redemption; ‘Tunnels’ is, perhaps, the epitome of what Arcade Fire are all about. It is a song set in the fierce Canadian winter in which two young lovers plan to escape their suffocating home life and dream of a future together as free adults. Like all the songs in Funeral it is empowering, uplifting and optimistic. More importantly it is a sincere and honest tribute to the power of human emotion. Also it features the lovely Regine Chassagne on drums. My favourite song of all-time (so far).

No suprises there then... I might do one, with no Arcade Fire

You mean of the noughties or the past 10 years? Arcade Fire certainly wouldn't make the list either way... well, maybe Tunnels or Laika.

And with the crowd reaction, it looks like some hippy version of Nuremburg.

That's exactly what it's like; their music is all about power and emotion - it's no surprise that they support Obama.

So what's your top ten of the last decade then?

Yeah that may have been the top ten of the 90s but not the noughties - unless its been re-released. Also that would mean you'd have to miss out 'Parallel lines', although granted, it's a tough choice.
