Snow Patrol, Chasing cars, another classic,they just keep coming up each album,with these amazing tracks, another song that lifts the crowd up and into song from start til finish. Run is my num 1 choice and chasing cars is up there with the songs I play over and over again and will never ever tire of ever

I would love to see snow patrol win, this in my opinion is not there best song. i would rather see "run", "open your eyes" or maybe "Chased By...I Don't Know What" But if snow patrol do not make that number one spot i would love to see it go to kings of leon, foo fighters or elbow

This is my most hated song of the decade. Every time I hear it I wish he really would just lay there and thus be obliterated by a large articulated lorry..
