A few months ago, I had put together a top-10 favorite studio album songs, but realized only 1 of the 10 were post 1999 (Love Boat Captain).  I'm trying to come up with a top-10 of post-1999 songs for myself and am curious which songs are some of your favorites. 
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    @Jammalambo

    You’re the first person I’ve heard say “Help Help.”  I’ve always enjoyed the build-up throughout that song.  It’s weird how often  overtook Riot Act, but honestly can’t find one song on that record I don’t like.

    Well, I know there are other folks on here who love that song too.. Binaural and Riot Act, there's just a special mood in those records, something so deep.. On the other hand, I also know the songs I listed are amongst the worst for a lot of people here. To me, songs like Help Help or 1/2 Full, they are great in the studio versions.. but live are just phenomenal (if Ed manages to not fuck up the words)

    I finally got a copy of PJ20 (the book) and just went over 2000-2003.  It's made me appreciate Riot Act more after hearing how much Roskilde affected them, and how much you can feel that on the record.  I haven't listened to Riot Act as much as I have in the last couple of weeks.

    Of the girl, parting ways, unknown thought, severed hand, hail hail, Nothing as it seems, Just breathe, Sirens, Light Years, Love boat captain.

    For me it’s hands down LBC.  After that there are so many good choices.  I love Sirens.  Initially I was lukewarm on it, but it’s grown on me big time.
