“Float On” ranks in top 100 songs of the decade
In 2004, Modest Mouse assured us that “we’ll float on, good news is on the way.”
Now, Rolling Stone has assured Modest Mouse that their song “Float On” is indeed one of the best 100 songs of the decade.
Rolling Stone’s ‘Best 100 Songs of the Decade‘ lists Modest Mouse’s “Float On” at No. 38 of 100. The review calls the song “a snappy, silver-lined indie-pop march that asserts, ‘Good news is on the way.’ A summer of ‘04 hit, its chill-pill positivity nailed the zeitgeist during Bush’s re-election: Good news is slow sometimes.”
