2001

Honourable Mention: Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) – Train

10. Island In The Sun – Weezer

Makes you feel like you’re losing brain cells, one “hip” at a time.

In other words, it fits the vibe.

9. Someday – The Strokes

One of few bands that consistently abolish the stereotype of needing to sing well to sound good, because he doesn’t (and it does).

8. Phantom Planet – California

A burst of nostalgic longing for the age you never lived in.

7. Avril 14th – Aphex Twin

Not the last time you’ll see this name, from the land where geniuses are made: rural England.

6. Sleep – Azure Ray

A main character moment if there ever was one.

5. Murder On The Dancefloor – Sophie Ellis-Bextor

All you need is nude Barry Keoghan and a good beat.

4. Rise – Azure Ray

Moves you more than it does itself.

3. Your Body Is A Wonderland – John Mayer

Probably the best song ever written by a horny 20-year-old.

2. No Such Thing – John Mayer

Coming of age movies wish they could capture what John does in 4 minutes.

1. QKThr – Aphex Twin

If only we were all born in rural England.
