Why has no one mentioned the killers? Surely Mr. Brightside is worth a shout. I know for a fact their first album convinced a lot of the people i know to fall in love with bands all over again.

I’ve had to represent more rap in your spotify playlist. It’s the lure of an open list. Feel free to remove (Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Ice Cube, Public Enemy, and oh, Elvis and Bill Withers), or peruse my personal definitive list:

Couldn’t argue with your 60s suggestions – I’d probably say Tomorrow never Knows as the most influential, as Like a Rolling Stone just defined its era, while Tomorrow Never Knows/Revolver redefined the ambition of popular music

70s – might not be the best, but ‘Anarchy in the UK’ for me is the most influential tune of any decade. That means Stevie Wonder misses out, and probably have to be something produced by Lee Perry after that

80s – Blue Monday/Don’t Believe the Hype/Groove is in the Heart

90s – I’d say I am the Resurrection was a 90s tune, even though it was an 80s release. That, Firestarter, Unfinished Sympathy or Smells like Teen Spirit all contenders, but I’d say Born Slippy summed up music and culture of the mid-90s. I worked in a club when it came out, and it closed the night at indie, techno, hiphop and house nights Wednesday to Saturday. On the Sunday it closed the movie i went to.

00s – struggling to think of a standout tune – Arctic Monkeys or Strokes for reclaiming guitar music for a generation raised in clubs. Crazy is a good call, or Gorillaz Dirty Harry. I’d go for Arcade Fire ‘Rebellion’ just cos its my favourite.

Agree with Unfinished Symphony (although Teardrop is almost as good). Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel or Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough should’ve featured in your 80′s list

For 00′s best song my votes are:

1) Lupe Fiasco – Kick Push
2) Gnarls Barkley – Crazy (high five Sandy)
3) Radiohead – Everything in it’s Right Place

Cheers Jon – I’m trying not to criticise music selections, but if we’re looking for songs you love that also define an era, I’m not sure Man In The Mirror would be the one. Thriller maybe? Or Billie Jean?

Interesting choices there Neema – I actually thought Jaxx was a 90s tune, so I like that one. I reckon if there’s gonna be a JT track, it has to be Like I Love You…

Quite a tough call, but this is what I think at the moment:

80s – Michael Jackson – Man in the Mirror
90s – Baby D – Let me be your fantasy
00s – Rihanna- Umbrella

if you want era defining noughtie tunes:

Kasabian – Club Foot or LSF (although the new album smashes any they’ve done before)

Arcade Fire – Wake Up

Basement Jaxx – Where’s your head at?

Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire (Milk and Trani and my personal faves)

Kylie Minogue – Can’t get you out of my head

MGMT – Time to Pretend

Vampire Weekend – A Punk

Rihanna – Umbrella

Justin Timberlake – Rock Your Body

I do think that Arctic Monkeys’ I bet that you look good on the dance floor will be the defining track for the type of people who listen to Absolute Radio.
