7. "Seven Nation Army" – The White Stripes (2003)

Jack White’s iconic, fuzzy bass riff (actually played on a semi-acoustic guitar with a Whammy pedal) has transcended rock music. Originally an anti-war, blues-rock stomper, it is now the unofficial Global Football Anthem, chanted by soccer stadiums from London to Buenos Aires. It is arguably the most enduring riff of the decade. "Seven Nation Army" – The White Stripes (2003)

The "Limp" Rock Presence: While the decade was huge for indie and garage rock, VH1 leaned heavily into "radio rock." The White Stripes’ "Seven Nation Army" sits at #26, while Creed’s "With Arms Wide Open" makes a surprise appearance at #91.
