That's cool, but they seem to be a little too focused on number 1 songs rather than looking at ALL the music of the last decade. That said, VR certainly deserves the mention.

And where the hell is "No On Love Me (And Neither Do I)" by Them Crooked Vultures? That certainly belongs on the list.

Slither is a great tune.  Love listening to it.

Slither is a killer song from any point of view. Good to see some recognition from people

ABSOLUTELY agree with No One Knows. As overplayed as that song got, I LOVED that riff! Most memorable riff of the 00s IMO.
 
Also agree with 5, 7, and 10.

Lists like this remind me how bad the last decade was music wise, and how pretentious music journalists actually are.

But regardless, glad VR made the list.

I love Slither, but I wouldn't have put it on that list. It's not even the best VR riff in my opinion.

Slither still gets me going, Deserved! Overall, prefer it to Plug In Baby but Muse have some great kicking in riffs too
