There hasn't been one good song mentioned yet imo!
Eminen - Lose yourself?! NEVER! First he sampled Aerosmith's 'Dream On'. Whatever it is, it'll have to be original and a bit different for the time it was released, or perhaps pave the way somehow and open a new chapter in music - OK that sounds a bit OTT!! But ya get me?!
Prob wouldn't be the best but deserves to be up there:
Intervention by Arcade Fire.
7/4 Shoreline by Broken Social Scene
In this home on ice by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!0 -

Think you might be missing the point here.-It's more about the mainstream popularity than the quality of the songs with these "greatest hits of the *insert decade*" countdowns.
Granted, you probably won't see the huge novelty hits in it, but it will mainly be decent catchy pop or pop-rock songs that were in the charts for ages. Ye know, all those songs that you never want to hear again because they were overplayed to f*ck on the radio and the telly?!
That's the sort of thing you normally get in these chart thingy's. I'd say "hey ya" and "how you reming me" are pretty good bets, along with songs like "In da Club", "Golddigger", maybe "seven nation army", that was pretty all over the place at one stage.
Granted none of this stuff would come anywhere near my personal list, put I'd say they'll all feature in the VH-1 countdown in a few years!0 -

Muse - Knights of Cydonia will be considered their best of this decade due to its commercial success but I'd say New Born would be their defining song (even though it's not my favourite).
Other songs for me personally in my preferred genres would be -
Modest Mouse - Float On
Interpol - Evil
Doves - There Goes The Fear
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
Alkaline Trio - Private Eye
Idlewild - American English
Snow Patrol - Run
Ash - Shining Light
Muse - Plug In Baby
Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
Killers - Mr. Brightside
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Delays - Valentine
Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body
Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
Biffy Clyro - 57
Klaxons - Atlantis To Interzone
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Feeder - Buck Rogers
AFI - Morning Star
JJ72 - October Swimmer
Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment
Reel Big Fish - Where Have You Been?
Less Than Jake - All My Best Friends Are Metalheads
Seafood - Splinter
King Adora - Bionic
My Vitriol - Always Your Way
And of course.....
Mark McCabe - Maniac 2000 0 -

Bah! You're right dagnabbit! But if/when they are ya know it'll be on the news on the radio with someone reading out that ''In da Club'' or whatever has been voted the best song of the decade and will therefore be known for that in future to some extent instead of what it should be.
It's like you'll get fools saying that Westlife are better than the Beatles as they've had more no.1's some rubbish like that.0 -
