Boardsies Decide - Best Noughties Song - Tournament Thread

Kolido

Pink - Just Like A Pill, a good song but should be nowhere near the finals. However, I prefer it to FF

Eminem - Lose Yourself, best song left, a worthy winner.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

P!nk - Just Like A Pill - I was about to vote for Take Me Out here, but listening to the two songs back to back, it has to be Just Like A Pill... I'm a big fan of a strong female vocalist, and P!nk I think is up there with the best of them, and this is one of my favourite songs of hers. She's also left a longer lasting impression as an artist than Franz Ferdinand have (although if this had been their far superior song Jacqueline in contention right now, it'd probably be a very different story).

Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood - personally I think this would've made a great final, both quality tunes. Clint Eastwood is one of my all-time favourite songs though, and brings back a lot of good memories of certain people for me, which is why I nominated it and why I'm voting for it to be in the final, even though its undoubtedly got a big hitter to take down here if its to progress.

1. Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out - Just loved this from first time I heard it. Not really into their other stuff but this is a good song.

2. Eminem - Lose Yourself - His best song. Also if there’s no Oasis in last four then Albarn doesn’t belong there either

rainbowtrout

Franz Ferdinand - this was one of my nominations, and is way better than Pink

Eminem - Not a massive fan, but this is way better than Gorillaz

Irish Aris

Franz Ferdinand - because it's a great song and because Alex Kapranos seems like a pretty cool guy!!

Eminem - I don't like rap at all and he was always coming across as very rude (although it could all be a facade). But 8 Mile was a great movie and Lose Yourself captures the essence of the film perfectly. A well deserved Oscar too!

Zaph

Semi Final 1
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out. One of my nominations. Reminds me a bit of my favourite band, Talking Heads.

Semi Final 2
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood. Also one of my nominations. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but I really can't stand Eminem. That said, Clint Eastwood is a really cool, laid back song and deserves to win in its own right, not just because I think Eminem is really sh*t.

Clarabel

Pink - Just Like A Pill - cause blah blah blha blah is boring, like 1 note the whole song. SNOOOORE and also now I might confess I love PINK!

Eminem - Lose Yourself and I that Gorillaz song is not the best. Lose yourself is just a better song

Sheridan81

Pink-Like A Pill
So this is the only song in this whole thread that I hadn't heard before that really stood out. There was an Xx song that was ok too. I thought that the noughties were a bad time for music and this thread hasn't changed my opinion unfortunately. It's not exactly Don't Fear the Reaper v Bohemian Rhapsody is it?

Eminem-Lose Yourself
I really like the pre-chorus stop-start rap rhythm -"oh, there goes rabbit" etc.

The biggest joke is Franz Ferdinand though. You people do realise that it's an anonymous vote and you're not going to receive any cool points or street cred, right?

I hope all nine of the people that voted for 'Take Me Out' over 'Stan' get a severe bout of diarrhea.

And you do realise that people like different things and we're not all obliged to like whatever music you like, yeah?

The over-35s are back and have been sippin' on one too many craft beers.

Stan is objectively a better song than Take Me Out.

No it's not. This is just your opinion. . .

These best song of X decade threads are great fun and have been well run by Necro, Kolido and rainbow trout - apologies if I missed someone

People like different music, it’s all down to personal taste but in every decade there’s been accusations of musical snobbery or hipsterism.

Leave it out, enjoy and vote for what you like. The result won’t decide who’s running the country or whether we shoot ourselves in head and leave EU.

Pink - Just Like A Pill. It reminds me of my bestie singing it back when we were young 'uns.
JUST LIKE A PILL!! INSTEAD OF MAKING ME BETTER YOU KEEP MAKING ME ILL!!

Eminem - Lose Yourself. Absolutely fantastic. Loved him back in the day. A very talented man.

I'm not really sure what your problem is with anyone outside your own demographic, but this is a friendly forum where people get on with one another and any slagging is good natured. So how about you drop the attitude and just take the forum for what it is, a bit of harmless fun?

Were these all just qualifiers?

Quarter Finalists from each decade into the Champions League?

ArnoldJRimmer

Semi Final 1
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
VS
Pink - Just Like A Pill


Franz Ferdinand, one of my nominations and a much better song

Semi Final 2
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
VS
Eminem - Lose Yourself

Two really good songs but I'll go with Gorillaz because of its originality and a cracking video

Well I won't run anything until the 60s comp concludes but then we shall seeeeeeeeeee

Take me out

My nomination and worthy of final

Eminem

Worthy finalist too. Amazing artist.

Omackeral

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out Pink has had a good run but it should stop here. Franz Ferdinand defined my college years and even though Im not into that kind of music usually, this was a stomper and still is.

Eminem - Lose Yourself Eminem's best work imo. One of the best soundtracks to a motion picture too. The video is stellar also. It's self aware, it's grim, it's gritty, it's cool and it's just unreal.
