** Song of the year **

[Gallagher Rose]

Time to choose the biggest hit of the year..last year "Umbrella" was the big hit, and 2006 was a promiscuous year for Nelly Furtado.

[pain cake]

Probably gotta go with Pink's So What actually, but obviously Australian charts are much different to over seas as Electric Feel was infinitely huger than Time to Pretend

Had to go with I Kissed a Girl though, that song's just everywhere

[Estranged Reality]

Are you asking which is the best, or which was the most popular/defining?

I think the best is MGMT. The biggest is probably Kanye West or Coldplay.

I do not know if I've heard any of them. I certainly don't recognize any of the titles. I only listen to music on radio when I'm in a friends car if he/she is having it on.

[Pico]

"Viva la Vida", no doubt. That song is EVERYWHERE.

And I hate it.

[Randy Lahey]

I voted for MGMT. That song is classic.

[Albertito]

No paper planes

[JAC185]

I Kissed A Girl, Mercy, American Boy and That's Not My Name were and are still all massive over here. Can hardly get in the car without one of them being on the radio or turn on the TV without hearing them. They're also used all the time as backing for adverts and idents and stuff.

I Kissed A Girl

I really like MGMT too. That Coldplay song is good, they're fantastic live, but the song is one of the worst on the album.

[The Sandman]

Awful list.

I'd rank Hot and Cold about Kissed a Girl anyway.

I voted for Human.

[Graeme]

I'd say Sex on Fire should be on there, that song's ludicrously overplayed.

[Estranged Reality]

No paper planes

That actually came out in '07.

[Lithium]

No paper planes

That actually came out in '07.

Released as a single in January, I think.

[Black Monk Time]

Don't really know or care which is the "biggest" but the best of those is "Love Lockdown."

"Paper Planes" is kinda like "Time to Pretend," btw -- both came out on their albums in '07 but weren't released as singles until this year.

I miss the days when Song of the Year lists actually featured good songs.

[KetchupNotMayo]

Sex on Fire is probably the biggest imo.

[Marky]

Sex on Fire is probably the biggest imo.

Agreed

[stacks on deck]

making a poll was a terrible idea; you can't expect everyone on the forum to have the same awful taste as you do. and if you actually meant what the biggest song was in terms of success, then having a poll--which is subjective--is even more idiotic.

oh, and the best song of the year was tie my hands from the carter iii. real hooray for tolerance!s can feel me on that.

[Estranged Reality]

the carter iii.

wat

[Lithium]

lol

[stacks on deck]

think of it as a test to weed out the real hooray for tolerance!s from the bitch hooray for tolerance!s.

oh, and you still didn't pass--you write for pitchfork.

You should like them. They love Of Montreal, don't they?

[EternalFlame]

No question about it.... Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl." That song is everywhere you go.

as their popularity starts to rise, the ratings of their albums does the opposite-- skeletal lamping got a 5.8; it deserved way higher than that.

You're so indie.
