Best song of the past decade?

Keep in mind this is a British survey and on a middle of the road rock station. Still, what would your choice be? I am an REM fan so I am not too upset with them being there but the Verve?

Wonderwall voted song of the decade

Oasis hit Wonderwall has been named the greatest song of the past decade.

Music fans chose a top five of downbeat songs in a poll to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Virgin Radio.

Wonderwall was a number two hit in 1995 - kept off the top of the charts by Robson And Jerome's I Believe.

The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony was runner-up in the Virgin poll. REM came third with Everybody Hurts.

Oasis also came fourth in the countdown of the top 100 songs since the station's launch, with the track Don't Look Back In Anger.

Why Does It Always Rain On Me, by Travis, completed the melancholic top five. And there was even more misery in sixth position with Radiohead's song of self-loathing Creep.

Whatever, again by Oasis, came in at 14. Red Hot Chili Peppers also managed a hat-trick in the top 20, the highest being By The Way at number seven.

Listeners were asked to choose their favourite track from a shortlist of the ten from each of the last ten years.
