3. M.I.A.: 'Paper Planes' (2007) - Having impressed the critics with her debut album 'Arular', M.I.A won over the people with this smash hit from her phenomenal second album 'Kala'. Featuring ringing cash tills, an inspired Clash sample and the sound of gun fire, this counter-culture anthem united fans of all music genres. 'Paper Planes' has been successful on both sides of the Atlantic, used in smash film 'Slumdog Millionaire' and more importantly cemented M.I.A's position as one of the most vibrant and innovative artists of the past ten years.

- 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.
