Music that lingers

Checking out Rolling Stone's 100 Best songs of the decade list -- non-definitive, but fun; and interesting how one-of-a-kind most of the top ones were. Threw in some random, recent picks of my own:

Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)


Shakira - She Wolf


M.I.A. - Paper Planes
#5 on Rolling Stones' decade list; this version with Maya Arulpragasam herself is better, but the Slumdog Millionaire one is fuller.


White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Simply hypnotic... and the anthem of soccer hooligans everywhere


Kanye West - Gold Digger
Music and a moral!


Coldplay - Yellow
It has a timeless quality to it; reminds me of 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up." Like the Chinese version as well.
