Fairly sure Saxon was 2007.
Anyway, I don't care how many times it's been played, When I Look At You still gives me shivers when dropped on a proper system.

I agree that the closest 2009 has to an anthem is Digidesign.
Other top tracks:
Kode 9 - Black Sun
Pinch - Midnight Oil
Darkstar - Aidy’s Girl Is A Computer
Boxcutter - Mya Rave
Starkey - Gutter Music VIP
Jamie Vex’d - Radiant Industry
Burial & Four Tet - Moth
Hyetal’s - We Start A Fire
Silkie - Head Butt Da Deck / Purple Love / The Horizon
Guido's - Orchestral Lab
and probably a whole load of others I can’t remember right now. Not all "bangers" as such.

i suppose there isn't but the 'anthem' culture is part of the problem and the reason why wobblers take over...
generally anthems are lowest common denominator.....when i look at you is alright but bats in the belfry was sorely underappreciated for it's genius...mainly because it was good music
I'd say the exact opposite. Anthems need melodic or lyrical parts that lots of people can hum along or sing along to... that's what gives them the anthemic quality. It's often a bad thing applied to music (stadium rock!), but just occasionally, something special creeps through.
Hearing the entirety of Corsica Studios singing along to Digidesign during the Purple Threeway earlier in the year and hearing countless DJs let the melody creep out of their sets cemented it as an anthem for me.
haha
when i hear the word anthem i think of queen...
Then I don't blame you for being worried about it getting applied to Dubstep tunes!
Strangely, I instantly think of Land of Hope and Glory whenever I see the word anthem...

This is why its the only contender for 'anthem'. Because everytime it's played (and that's alot, even after 8 months since release)
everyone starts singing along. Its slightly eerie, but awesome.
