Xfm announces "best song ever"

If you approach this with the understanding that Xfm believes there are only four songs that have ever been written which exceed Sex On Fire in terms of quality, you'll perhaps not be surprised to discover that they believe The Killers' Mr Brightside to be, definitively, the very best song ever.

Actually, that's not as surprising as Ian Brown's FEAR coming in at number 11. That's not even the eleventh best song with a video featuring a bicycle being ridden backwards in it.

  1. That is the most hilarious list I've seen in a long time. Knights of Cydonia at four!?!?! I mean I'm still convinced that song was an elaborate joke. Certainly it made me giggle. Still I feel it necessary to point out more (anonymous) hilarity in the form of pairs:

    34 The Who - My Generation
    33 Stereophonics - Dakota

    47 David Bowie - Life On Mars
    46 Coldplay - Viva La Vida

    55 The Jam - A Town Called Malice
    54 Snow Patrol - Run

    62 The Beatles - A Day In The Life
    61 The Killers - Somebody Told Me

    82 David Bowie - Heroes
    81 Kasabian - Empire


    XFm - the voice of the null generation!
