7 Nation Army? An interesting choice. But I disagree.

Over the last 50 years, every decade has had a definitive sound. I suppose the 'garage rock' sound has been the defining sound of -rock music- in 'the noughties' (2000s). But I think rock music has been broken up into a collection of tiny niche markets, subcultures, rather than being representative of the wider popular culture of the decade. I think the dominant popular culture of this decade is defined by hip hop, and the definitive song of this decade should be an exemplar of hip hop, or "hip pop", as I prefer to call it.

Hey, I'm not saying I like hip hop, I just think it's the undisputed champion of the decade's output. When future generations wax nostalgic about the noughties, they won't remember the White Stripes or The Strokes, or Franz Ferdinand or Coldplay or any of the guitar groups that managed to break through the charts (all those bands were already throwbacks to an earlier time). They'll remember Beyonce & Jay-Z, and Eminem & Britney Spears, and the soundtrack to High School Musical, cause those are the songs that kids are fucking to these days.

The White Stripes make music for old farts.

Oh wait a minute. What exactly is wrong with Eminem's music?

"Trapped in the closet" is indeed a very bizarre song( i prefer this), but was this decade as bizarre? hmmm

because he's obviously got hubris? well maybe but after 40 minutes you just want to slap him for wasting your time (witch we according to Jarvis shouldn't do,right). Then it's better with the 2 minute version.
