Whether they're adding or subtracting, remembering a vintage year, or looking to the future, we've got some of the best numerically-based anthems!

1. Radiohead - 2+2= 5

   The first track on Radiohead’s Hail To The Thief album not only has numbers, but it makes an attempt at maths too.

2. The Beatles - Eight Days A Week

   An oldie but a goodie, The Beatles use the power of numbers to get an extra day of loving in.

3. Blur - Song 2

   It may be called Song 2, but it's undoubtedly in first place on most 90s anthems lists.

4. Kings Of Leon - Four Kicks

   The second single from KOL's Aha Shake The Heartbreak album is sure to prompt kicks, stomps and every other move on the dancefloor.

5. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

   Arcade Fire's big tune passes the number and the anthemic indie power ballad test.

6. Foo Fighters - The One

   The One video saw Foo Fighters go back to art school and study various disciplines, including acting and ballet. No mention of maths though...

7. Jack White - Sixteen Saltines

   We reckon some of the kids in Jack White's Sixteen Saltines vid could have done with counting to 10.

8. The Strokes 12:51

   We wouldn't be surprised if this indie floor-filler hit the dancefloor of many a club night at 12:51.

9. Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

   It may have only actually been released by the Pumpkins in 1995, but when it comes to nostalgic coming-of-age tracks, you can't beat 1979.

10. Pulp - Disco 2000

    No number or year-based list is complete without Pulp's futuristic love song, Disco 2000, which has pretty much become Britpop's answer to Prince's 1999.
