It's hard fighting the urge to argue over this goofy Guardian-approved list of the musicians that "dominated" each decade. (Elvis, Dylan, Bowie, Madonna, and Cobain? Really? OK. Whatever.) Clearly, we need to help writer Graeme Thomson in "finding the next influential name on the list" by deciding on our own candidate for the current decade's slot. So we turn it over to you, the commenter academy, to choose our official pick for the most important musical whatever of the first decade of the new millennium.

Too many LOLs
No O-Zone of "Dragostea Din Tei" fame? For shame!

You forgot the ever popular "Fuck it, I'll just listen to 'classic rock' and 'everything but rap and country' and call it a decade."
I'd love to live in a world where Andrew WK really is the most important act of the decade.
@WhineyPTW: Yeah! I am the most important artist of the decade!
@SuperUnison: Haha. Spot-on.
All paths to stardom lead through Timbaland. Also several paths to mediocrity or complete obscurity, but lots of paths to success, too.
Joy Division. What do you mean '80's?' Then why the fuck is every 10th Idolator post about them?
where's t pain at???
My vote is: Some Cantonese Pop Starlet Who No English Speaker Has Ever Heard Of Yet.
Also, since this is The Guardian, $5 says they pick M.I.A. and get all gushy about multikulti postcolonial artschool whatever...
@Clevertrousers: oh you mean faye wong?
Claymania 4eva!
