Best single of the year so far?

[WithOrWithoutYo]

Who has released the best Single of the year so far, and which was it? I'm going to go with Coldplay - Clocks ... or Foo Fighters - Times Like These.

 

[Salome]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Bring it on

 

[bayernfc]

I'd go with clocks too.........although there are some radiohead songs I really liked.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

even tho coldplay will be the de facto response

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Bring it on

definitely!

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

blur - out of time

 

[IWasBored]

afi--the leaving song pt. 2

 

[no disk]

!!! - Me and Guiliani Down By the School Yard

 

[brettig]

Seven Nation Army.

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

there there, clocks and seven nation army r all good choices. the best single should have been where i end and you begin from radiohead. maybe later.

 

[HelloAngel]

Seven Nation Army.

Amen.

 

[MrBrau1]

Lyric-Zwan

 

[Strato Edge]

"There There" and "The Scientist"

 

[pax]

"Seven Nation Army," fer sure.

And "The Remedy" by Jason Mraz.

 

[Bonochick]

"Wendy" - Jesse Malin

 

[zonelistener]

Seven Nation Army.

Despite loving the song and the album, I don't think "There There" is much of a "single" - I don't think it is something that is horribly catchy and will end up selling albums by itself. The Jason Mraz song could do that though - despite your laughter. And "Seven Nation Army" is truly a GREAT single.[/realist rant]

 

[pax]

As you apparently don't know, I that song.

 

[womanfish]

Seven Nation Army, The Scientist (kicks Clocks ass!), and You Were Last High by The Dandy Warhols

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

"

And "The Remedy" by Jason Mraz.

"There There" Radiohead

"Rock Your Body" Justin Timberlake

 

[Bono's shades]

George Harrison - Any Road
Radiohead - There There
Coldplay - The Scientist
Soundtrack of Our Lives - Sister Surround (I think it's from this year - or was it 2002?)
Nick Cave - Bring It On

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

there there - easily one of radioheads best songs of all time.

out of time - blur. ya, it doesnt get much better than this.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

oh, and i see headsonstix put timberlake in his list. ive never heard that song, but i can tell you that had he released his first two singles this year, i would have put them on my list.

 

[Elvis Presley]

im going with There There and Seven Nation Army and He War from Cat Power......

 

[Popmartijn]

Coldplay - Clocks (IIRC, The Scientist is from last year, at least in Europe)
Solomon Burke - Soul Searchin' (just had to namecheck him again)

otherwise I can't think of any great singles (although Beyonce's Crazy In Love is damn catchy). Maybe The Androids with Do It With Madonna (nominated for novelty song).

 

[Jack In The Box]

afi--the leaving song pt. 2

I agree
and There There (Radiohead)

 

[u2popmofo]

Audioslave - 'Like a Stone'

 

[Slapnutz]

'The Bitter End' - Placebo. Not a big fan of the band, but this songs just plain rocks. In fact I'd go as far as saying this is the best single in the last three years. It's also great to stalk to.

...What can I say, I like to watch...

 

[zonelistener]

As you apparently don't know, I that song.

For real?

Because I think it is kinda catchy. (meaning I like it because it is a good poppie tune!)

 

[womanfish]

Coldplay - Clocks (IIRC, The Scientist is from last year, at least in Europe)

Just got released last month in the States.

 

[meegannie]

Single as in song, or single as in the cd?

 

[HeartlandGirl]

While I love Clocks and There There, I must vote for The Bitter End by Placebo for the sheer fact that I cannot get enough of it. It is so rocking and is such a perfect first single off SWG. If you haven't heard it, you should definitely give it a listen. The video is good too.
