Was there any good music in the 2000's?

Yup, the early 00s had a slew of fairly decent "pop" songs by rockbands, Wheatus, Alien Ant Farm, Papa Roach, Jimmy Eat World etc, (I'll even include Limp Bizkit). I wouldn't be into their music and you might call it crap but as pop music went it was a lot better than what we have now. Marilyn Manson released Holywood which was fairly good, Radiohead had Kid A and Hail to the Thief, there was the retro punk/80s revival. As much as I didn't get into it there were some good songs produced by the likes of Interpol and Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs. On the best end of the spectrum imo you had ATDI and The Mars Volta who released some amazing albums. Also you had RATM, Rammstein and System of a Down producing good stuff. I never really liked the British Indie bands as the music they played was too soft/trying to impress critics/in crowd but The Coral weren't bad. There was also The Flaming Lips, that Irish band, JJ72, another Irish band The Marbles (falling overground is a good song). There was some good stuff in the pop field as well by Kylie Minogue - the come on and dance with me song, Justin Timberlake - the one where he does vocal drumbeats, Nerd- the she's hot/sexy song, I mean these weren't bad songs at all for what they were. It was around 2007 that music began to get really sh1t and I have to say aside from a few exceptions like Ghost, I absolutely hate everything that's being produced eg Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, all the hip hop/rnb bs, dance music. It's nearly all crap, it's like a return to 1950s easily listening music. This has occurred in tandem with rock becoming a niche genre like jazz.

I was a bit pissed off with music in the early 2000s. We had to put up with a slew of nu metal bands, Coldplay/Travis type stuff, David Gray, RHCP minus the heroin and then all the maudlin Irish acts like The Frames and Paddy Casey et Al.

Then I heard The Strokes Last Nite and everything changed for the better.

I think every decade has bad music but it sort of gets forgotten about.
Lots of people listen to music from the 1990's/2000's that some people would consider crap but it reminds them of happy times be it finishing school/meeting their partner/having a child.

I didnt know there was more than one Kylie, Justin Timberlake, Destiny's Child or Eminem.

There was definitely more than one eminem, sure he wrote a song about it and all. He had to keep standing up to prove he was the real one.

I loved early 2000s nu metal and I make no apologies for it, still love some of it. I also liked some soft rock stuff in the mid 2000s like Kaiser Chiefs and the Killers and that.

The Beatles!
Ronan Collins use to play them during the 2000's, they were so good he'd always play 2 tracks together
