005 Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds Will you bite the hand that feeds you?....The second best song off of my album of the year; With Teeth. Fantastic song which spent 5 weeks at the top of my chart and made me a fan of NIN. Everything about this song is great and deserves to be in my top 5. The second highest song by an American artist.

004 Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure I know that I would love to see you in that dress, I hope that i will live to see you undress....The best new band of the year by a long way. Would probably have been top 3 without its re-release as it did lose some of its unique-ness imo but went top 20 twice in the UK and number one twice for me though only managed 1 week the first time and 2 the second. The whole top ten was incredibly close and changed order a few times but they favoured this as it was set to be lower top 10 but number 4 is most definately the right position but it does mean that there are 3 different nationalities in the top 3 rather than 2 British which there could have been.

003 White Stripes - Blue Orchid You got a reaction, you got a reaction didn't you....Their best song by a long, long way. When i first heard it i couldn't actually believe how good it was. I had a feeling it would be high in my ytd chart but i played it absolutely loads though and ended up getting bored of it before it made the chance to get to be my number one so only ended up peaking at number 4. But as with every song that get annoying after too much playing the key to liking it is not to listen to it for a while and i listened for the first time in months about 6 weeks ago and fell in love with it again. The album was disappointing and this and My Doorbell are the only tracks on it which i quite like but this is just utter brilliance. I am quite surprised no one got it tbh

002 Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies) People say that you'll die, faster than without water....So, it's not number one and was never going to be. It is an absolutely superb song and i don't think there's ever been a song that changed my opinion of a band as much as this did. I hadn't been overly impressed with anything i'd heard by them before but when i heard this i bought the album and thought it was extremely excellent with this being the standout track. It holds the record of the biggest ever climb to the top of my chart climbing from 24 to number one. It spent 5 weeks at the top and spent a further 4 weeks in the top 3. It's still in the top 20 now despite peaking in the first week of September.

001 THE FUTUREHEADS - HOUNDS OF LOVE[/color] I found a fox, who was caught by dogs, he let me take him in my hands....Was my number one the first week of 2005 and never left the spot of my favourite song of the year. I never ever thought i'd love a cover version so much but i just do. It's made so much of an impression of me it's probably my favourite song of the decade so far and it would easily be in my top 10 ever. The thing i like most about this band would be that they often have more than just one person singing at a time and that shows most in this song. Throughout the song there a lot's of fabulous 'Uh oh's' which are easily the best part of the song, they annoy some people but not me. It spent 4 weeks at the top of my chart to start with then climbed back to the top for a week after being knocked off for 2.

Yes, it is quite good, one of her best. Though I first heard it after the Futureheads verrsion so it probably affected how much i like the Futureheads version tbh as i pretty much never like a cover THAT much more than an original.
