I was just wondering what you thought were some of the best album tracks in last ten years, and which album they are on.
My list would include::
Travis - Humpty Dumpty Love Song (Invisible Band) Radiohead - Let Down (OK Computer) Coldplay - Warning Sign (Rush of Blood to the Head) Eels - PS I Love You (Electro-Shock Blues)
I'll think of more...

Travis - Humpty Dumpty love song would be on my list as well... Along with Manic Street Preachers - All surface, no feeling. And a few Powderfinger tracks off the top of my head, Capoicity, Oipic...

Fran Healy performed "Humpty Dumpty Love Song" at the gig I went to recently, it sounded incredible!
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head Ash - Walking barefoot (Free All Angels)

STUPID internet explorer... *writes out post for the third time * i agree with you about "let down" - i would have been surprised at its non-release had it featured on any other album but okc, where half the tracks are single material anyway. "electioneering" is another example. "warning sign" - yaysies! i thought i was the only person who liked this ;D "so i crawl back into your open arms..." *sigh* pick of the alb tracks on arobtth, imo. as for "humpty dumpty love song"... very nice, though i still prefer "indefinitely". some others: "black star" - radiohead (the bends) "in remote part (scottish fiction)" - idlewild (the remote part) "don't mix your drinks" - elbow (asleep in the back... actually, pretty much everything they never released off this album ) "sit down, stand up" - radiohead (hail to the thief) "kid a" - radiohead (kid a) "citizen erased" - muse (origin of symmetry) "three of clubs" - hell is for heroes (the neon handshake. why oh WHY did they not release this? ) "showbiz" - muse (showbiz) "switching off" - elbow (cast of thousands. if they don't release this, there WILL be trouble...) "anaesthetic" - feeder (yesterday went too soon) "you're my evergreen" - feeder (yesterday went too soon) and although it's not too late i doubt they'll release anything else off their second album, so have to add: "when the faction's fractioned" - biffy clyro (the vertigo of bliss)

Ok Computer and The Bends are both albums were every song was worthy of single status, Sulk is another track I love.
When I think of the lyrics to "Warning Sign" it sends shivers through me, and coz it deserves the attention i'm going to post them all here. Read and be moved!!
"A warning sign I missed the good part, then I realised I started looking and the bubble burst I started looking for excuses Come on in I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is, I miss you Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so
A warning sign It came back to haunt me, and I realised That you were an island and I passed you by And you were an island to discover
Come on in I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is, I miss you Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so
And I'm tired, I should not have let you go Oooooooo
So I crawl back into your open arms Yes I crawl back into your open arms And I crawl back into your open arms Yes I crawl back into your open arms."

Yeah it is!
I'm really into listening to the words of songs at the minute, some lyrics are pure genius filled with emotion and meaning.
