The 2000s in music (yet another video retrospective)
Well, we've had the 80s music thread, the 90s music thread, and seeing as the current decade has only a few months left to run, now would be a good time to review the years 2000-2009 in popular music. :)
OK, the music of the last 10 years has been nothing but rubbish, I hear you say. [What he said - everyone] I thought that too when I thought about the music from the previous decade themed threads - and how wrong I was proven, with the (mostly good) memories flooding back from classic hits and long-forgotten gems. Perhaps by trawling through the good, the bad and the ugly of the 2000s others may feel the same way too? [No - everyone else] Some of the songs I liked from the last 10 years anyway (your mileage may vary): "Burn Baby Burn" - Ash "New Born" - Muse "My Doorbell" - The White Stripes "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" - The Darkness "Don't Mug Yourself" - The Streets "When The Sun Goes Down" - Arctic Monkeys "Feel Good Inc." - Gorillaz "Crazy" - Gnarls Barkley "The Importance of Being Idle" - Oasis "Ooh Wee" - Mark Ronson feat. Ghostface, Trife & Nate Dogg "Ooh La La" - Goldfrapp "Oh My God" - Kaiser Chiefs (no, the decade was not known for its imaginative song titles... :p) "Paper Planes" - MIA "Chelsea Dagger" - The Fratellis One interesting thing was that at one point, the same record was released by three different bands, under different titles: "Take Me Out" - Franz Ferdinand "Paralyzer" - Finger Eleven "Shut Up And Let Me Go" - The Ting Tings ;) [[facepalm] - everyone] |

I'm thought "Lump" was from the 90s?

Frankly as far as I'm concerned this decade has been brilliant - all you need to do is look beyond the dross that fills the charts and it soon easily holds up to the 90s and 80s. |

Then again, each decade from the 1970's on seems to be worse than the last one. I fear what sort of drivel will be in store for the 2010's. Time for some nostalgia bars like the Cafe 80's in Back to the Future Part II, I guess.... |
