The BEST song of the 2010s, seriously?

People who claim that this is the best PSB song of the DECADE - a decade that gave us album-track-gems such as "Memory of the future", "Leaving", "Vocal" or "Invisible" - can't truly be serious?

Even if you just look at b-sides and songs that weren't part of a major album release, there are tracks like "The forgotten child" or "WIedersehen" who should be strong contenders for the best b-side of the 2010s.

But certainly not "Decide".

Its a matter of taste, if you dont understand why!

CU!

The poll asked about Decide as a /B-side/ of the 2010s...

Scratch that (I wish there were an edit comment option), pardon.

I'd truly hope the question was meant as a b-side, as I'm otherwise with you...

No, the question isn't meant to focus on on "Decide" only as a b-side. It's as a PSB song, period -- b-sides, singles, album tracks, everything.

Merry Christmas to you and all your site visitors!

I’m loving Decide. I’m possibly loving it more because of the stark contrast with Burning the Heather, which is among the worst PSB singles (and there haven’t been many bad ones). I particularly like the build up in Decide to the euphoric ending. Given the state of UK politics, I think there’s something that resonants with the “what have we done” lyric.

Decide is overrated. It's not bad but far from the quality of the super b sides.
