Greatest song released each year you have been alive

[BmorePat87]

I was thinking about this the other week and have been posting each day on my instagram/facebook account which song I consider to be the best song released each year I have been alive.

Either the single was released, a demo, or the album in that year. That means songs from an album in say 1999 but were released as a single in 2000 could count for either year.


I'll start with what I have

1987- "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" U2
1988- "Sweet Child o' Mine" Guns N' Roses
1989- "Just a Friend" Biz Markie
1990- "Been Caught Stealing" Jane's Addiction
1991- "Losing my religion" REM (Sorry Nirvana and RHCP)
1992- "Creep" Radiohead
1993- "Heart Shaped Box" Nirvana
1994- "Loser" Beck
1995- "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" Smashing Pumpkins
1996- "Don't Look Back in Anger" Oasis
1997- "Bittersweet Symphony" the Verve (not Richards and Jagger)
1998- "Flagpole Sitta" Harvey Danger
1999- "Scar Tissue" Red Hot Chili Peppers
2000- "Yellow" Coldplay
