Pick your favourite song for each year from 1997 to 2006.

A friend of mine set this challenge, and like any music listing, it's hard to do.

I'm still working on mine.

2006: hmmmm not really sure...been really busy with studies this year and haven't really listened to the radio much or bought and stolen (well...stolen alot but not really listened to it yet) much music either. I guess I'll be a fence sitter and pick something populist (eg: recommended by NME) and something Elitist (haha I'm so much better than you)

so...either I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by the Arctic monkeys or Skip Divided by Thom Yorke =)

What a challenge! I was attempting something along these lines the other day so I already had a head start - however the thing that make it hardest is that 4 years out of these 10 (1998, 2002, 2003, 2005) were A-Grade years for music, in fact the 4 best music years in my lifetime. However here is my attempt at it, I would have missed some gems aswell.

1997
Radiohead - Karma Police
Cordrazine - Crazy <- Winner
Arkarna - Eat Me

1998
Powderfinger - Passenger
TISM - The Men's Room <- Winner
The Whitlams - Charlie No.3

1999
Custard - The New Matthew <- Winner
Alex Lloyd - What A Year
Elliott Smith - Waltz #2

2000
Stone Temple Pilots - Sour Girl
George - Spawn
Dandy Warhols - Get Off <- Winner
Fauves - Give Up Your Day Job

2001
Ruck Rover - Thornbury <- Winner
Muse - New Born
James - Getting Away With It

2002
The Whitlams - Fall For You
The Sleepy Jackson - This Day
Something For Kate - Say Something
Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale
Evermore - Slipping Away
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test

2003
Dandy Warhols - You Were The Last High
The Thrills - One Horse Town
Belle & Sebastien - Stay Loose
Blur - Out Of Time

2004
Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Godhopping <- Winner
Polyphonic Spree - Hold Me Now
Sarah Blasko - Don't U Eva

2005
Bloc Party - Two More Years
The Boat People - Unsettle My Heart
Idlewild - Love Steals Us From Lonliness

Kaiser Chiefs - Everyday I Love You Less & Less
Architecture In Helsinki - It's 5

2006
Belle & Sebastien - Another Sunny Day
The Sleepy Jackson - God Knows
Starky - Hey Bang Bang <- Winner So Far

I cannot decide a winner for 2002, 2003 or 2005 as yet, I will revisit this later after I have another listen to each song. I can safely say however that the list above includes some of my favourite songs of all time.
