The Top Ten
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day

I love Green Day.

Fix You - Coldplay

It brings tears to my eyes every time. Hardly any songs reach my heart quite as much as this one. Let's all get it to the top!

Because of You - Kelly Clarkson
Stricken - Disturbed
Sugar, We're Goin' Down - Fall Out Boy

If you are reading this and haven't heard Sugar, then please go and listen to it. I am sure you'll vote for it.

This song should be #1.

THE BEST SONG EVER! How is this not No. 1?
Actually, I'm a fan of the No. 1 song too, but this edges it for me!

Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold
Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz

YES! Gorillaz! Feel Good Inc. is one of their best songs, hands down. We need to get this to first!

How is one of the best songs of all time ranked 31st?

This song is awesome.

B.Y.O.B. - System of a Down
I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys
Octavarium - Dream Theater

Now it's in 2nd place. Good job, guys! Let's make this win the first spot and then get it to the top of the "Best Songs of All Time" list.

Excuse me? 22? This is the most epic song of the last 25 years.

This is number 1, period.

The Newcomers

? Lay Down - Priestess
? Talk to Her - Priestess
The Contenders
Ridin' - Chamillionaire
Gold Digger - Kanye West

Now, I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke, broke.

I Predict a Riot - Kaiser Chiefs
Do You Want To - Franz Ferdinand

One of the catchiest songs on this list by a huge margin. Franz Ferdinand might not be the biggest band around, but they have a quality that many acts these days lack.

A band that actually plays their instruments, Franz Ferdinand might be one of the most underrated bands of the last decade.

A very underrated British band from Scotland. Franz Ferdinand has more quality songs than many artists across the pond.

When I'm Gone - Eminem
Candy Shop - 50 Cent

Remember the music video? It was the biggest hit of 2005! It is also one of the greatest rap songs of all time.

Through the Fire and Flames - Dragonforce
Holiday - Green Day
Say Goodbye - Chris Brown
Beast and the Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold
Every Planet We Reach is Dead - Gorillaz
Dance, Dance - Fall Out Boy
Panic Attack - Dream Theater
Stickwitu - The Pussycat Dolls
Pon de Replay - Rihanna

This needs to be higher. Rihanna for the win.
