Millennium Playlist Day Four: #40-21

40. Pikko - Kill With A Dance (2007)
Best bit - 0:32 The vocals, unlike anything else out there. You love it or you hate it.

39. Surferosa - Saturday Night (2003)
Best bit - 2:07 The guitar riff returns, stripped of everything else. A brief respite before more craziness.

38. Hedwig & The Angry Inch - Wig In A Box (2001)
Best bit - 1:34 Guitar pops up and heralds the shift from piano ballad to rollicking, theatrical glam anthem.

37. Melody Club - Destiny Calling (2006)
Best bit - 1:54 The build-up towards the end. Great lyrics, great melody.

36. Alphabeat - Touch Me, Touching You (2008)
Best bit - 2:17 I can't even describe how awesome this guitar is. One of the funkiest things ever.

35. The Zutons - Valerie (2006)
Best bit - 0:29 Beautiful bridge to a fantastic chorus. My favorite indie-ish guitar song of the decade.

34. The Ark - Absolutely No Decorum (2007)
Best bit - 0:00 Massive opening, with choirs or synths or guitars or whatever they are. It's like Heaven opening up.

33. The Mo - Howl In The Jungle (2004)
Best bit - 2:26 "C'mon town!" Always loved that.

32. Lil' Chris - Gettin' Enough?!? (2006)
Best bit - 2:30 Last chorus. My favorite teen-singer song of the 00's.

31. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (2009)
Best bit - 3:39 Thus begins the final build-up. So dramatic.

30. Scissor Sisters - Don't Feel Like Dancing (2006)
Best bit - 0:18 The moment, on the album version, when the beat drops in.

29. The Ark - Tell Me This Night Is Over (2003)
Best bit - 3:35 Enter the gospel choir. Best use of a choir this decade.

28. Superfamily - The Radio Has Expressed Concerns About What You Did Last Night (2007)
Best bit - 0:38 The synths take you to the stratosphere. Huge track.

27. The Ark - Echo Chamber (2001)
Best bit - 1:11 Delicate, than scolding. Love the lyrics in this song.

26. Robyn - Be Mine! (2005)
Best bit - 0:00 The moment those Eleanor Rigby strings kick in, you know you're in for something special. Robyn's reinvention.

25. Laakso & Peter Jöback - Italy vs. Helsinki (2006)
Best bit - 0:51 The first time the voices come together. It's magical from here on.

24. Bodies Without Organs - Open Door (2005)
Best bit - 2:06 I love it when ballads break out the beats for a few seconds. A jolt of urgency.

23. Alphabeat - Fascination (2007)
Best bit - 2:18 As the chanting grows more frantic, this reaches pop perfection.

22. Bodies Without Organs - Sixteen Tons Of Hardware (2005)
Best bit - 0:47 So ridiculously cheesy/stupid that it becomes absolutely epic.

21. MGMT - Time To Pretend (2008)
Best bit - 2:14 Just love these lyrics.
