48. Eminem: 'Stan' (2000) - Less of a song and more like a movie set to music. Each verse is set up like correspondence between Eminem and his obsessive fan Stan. Wildly dark and packed with murder and violence, 'Stan' is easily one of the most controversial songs of all time to reach the upper echelons of the charts around the globe. A track that's so good, even the Dido sample sounds inspired.

- 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.

- Yay for Midlake's Roscoe!! SUCH a great song.
