50. Eels: 'Mr E's Beautiful Blues' (2000) – Having recently been dealt the double blow of losing his mother to cancer and his sister committing suicide, the genius that is Mark E Everett tackled the subject of death head on once again with 'Daisies Of The Galaxy'. Fearing a commercial flop in the light of his dark solemn previous effort 'Electro-Shock Blues', his label asked him to record an upbeat track to add to the record. This was the end result. A two-fingers at all the troubles life throws at us, never before has the line “God damn right it's a beautiful day” sounded so life-affirming.

Well deserved Idioteque first place. That song never gets old, truly fantastic and inovative, even almost ten years later. Reckoner - from In Rainbows - deserved to be in the top 10 IMO. And great to see Seven Nation Army on the list, great song.
