Your Favourite Songs of the Noughties

Generally not remembered for it's music. The Noughties - the 80's and 90's inbred cousin.

What are your favourite songs from the decade?

Macavity. · 10-04-2015 01:33AM

According to my iTunes most played.
My top 10 are:

Intro - The xx
Where I End And You Begin - Radiohead
Crystalised - The xx
Heartbeats - Jose Gonzalez
Execution song - Johnossi
Kettering - The Antlers
Publisher - Blonde Redhead
Every Day is Exactly the Same - Nine Inch Nails
Three Seed - Silversun Pickups
Dakota - Stereophonics

Not even close to the quality of my 90's one IMO.

The noughties is a hard one for me. My favorite songs are from other decades.

Shocking decade for music. Take The Libertines, Amy Winehouse & Artic Monkeys out and I'm left with very little that I would bother listening to.
Not a fan, but I would throw Eminem & The Streets in there for standing out from the huge pile of noughties crap of soft pop rock & reality show winners.

Best song for me, a cover (says a lot for the decade) by Johnny Cash - Hurt.

Goldfrapp - Strict Machine

Ten years of music and we already have people who can't pick a single song from the thousands and thousands of songs written in that decade.

Wow. Some people make no effort at all whatsoever to look for music themselves. You could at least give seminal 00's artists like Broken Social Scene or Burial a chance. I think overall the 00's was just as good as any other decade musically.

Wow, there's always <insert whatever you wish> out there willing to impart their "wisdom".
I thought it's a given that by posting, I am giving my opinion, but I should have included an IMO for you.
I was aware of Burial, and they don't float my boat at all.
I wasn't aware of Broken Social Scene... turns out not many were either.
While seminal is a nice word to bandy about when talking music, neither are seminal... useless we're going back to it's literal origins, and in that case, I can't swallow either. IMO IMO.

Fwiw, most people when discussing the vast topic of music from a certain decade, they tend to keep within the realms of populist music for that period.

Fair enough, that's your opinion.
I would disagree strongly.

If you changed it to the Nineties I'd be typing all day. Music today is complete utter crap. Just amazing rappers rapping about washing up liquid and those funny punk bands who wear makeup and of course the obligatory tattoos. Few gems maybe but there far between.

With the exception of some good dance music in the early part of the 00s, it seems to have been the decade that music forgot. Arguably it still is but there seems to some decent stuff being made today, albeit in nowhere near the same amount as the late 20th century.

after the highs of the 90's what followed was truly terrible

crockholm · 10-04-2015 11:14AM

QotSA, a wee bitta slipknot and most of the rest is pretty forgettable "muh d1ck,muh bitches,muh Money-imma kill you"

Always reminds me of playing FIFA online with my friends.

Just looked at Rolling Stones Top 100 songs of the Noughties. Dreadful stuff to be honest.

Gorillaz the best of a bad lot

Probably one of the best decades for ambient/post rock/dream pop music. But that wouldn't appeal to a lot of people.

Yeboah · 10-04-2015 11:40AM

Interpol - Evil
White Stripes - Seven nation army
The Streets - Dry your eyes
Franz Ferdinand - Take me Out
MGMT - Kids
The Darkness - Growing on me
Scissor Sisters - Laura

Off top of head !!!

Give it 10 years and there will be a thread about how great noughties music was and how crap the 2010-2020 decade was

One of the best songs of that decade featuring one of the worst videos.

Caovyn Lineah · 10-04-2015 11:54AM

Without even thinking about it, the noughties brought us:

Kings of Leon(before they turned to crap)
Arctic Monkeys
The Libertines
Arcade Fire
The Strokes
Kasabian
Muse
Coldplay(for some)

I'm sure if I put some effort in i could name at least 100 excellent songs from the decade and anyone who says they can't pick one is a liar.

3rd Division stuff compared to previous decades
