    I did a poll on AH's favourite decade and 21st century music got absolutely massacred in the poll.

    The first song that came into my head when I read the heading was Mark McCabe Maniac. What a track!! I started college in 2000 and the club played it every night. The shapes I threw when that song was on!

    I came here just for this :pac:

    December 8th 2004 was a bad day for music, but music always finds a way.

    Do the poll in twenty years time and you'd see a big growth of people liking 2000's music and people saying 2020's music is crap.

    This was a fairly good album in fairness.

    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 absolutely hate everything that's being produced eg Taylor Swift

    You make good points but I disagree with the last point, Taylor Swift is great at doing pop in all fairness.

    Green Day - american idiot the full CD fantastic

    Must of Muses stuff.

    Fall out Boys 2nd 3rd CD are fantastic

    My Chemical Romance - the black parade a rock opera that gets better by the years.

    Daft Punk - Human After All and Discovery and there even better Alive 2007 basically that Live CD is a Orgram to my ears.

    Justice - Cross

    Foo Fighters mid 2000s stuff just great music.

    Plenty more out there that i cant think of at this moment !!!.

    Also, After Hours is full of degenerates, but at least many of the degenerates have good taste in music.

    Magic for me but I'm biased.

    Otherwise though, Amy Winehouse I think put an indelible mark on the 2000's / noughties and I think Back to Black is pretty much the song I will always associate with that decade.

    It's called getting old OP. It's completely normal to think music in "your day" was better and modern stuff is rubbish.

    But it was 'my day', that's what's so disturbing. Maybe it just wasn't all that memorable. I think I have the alcatraz... the alakaz... alzeer... the bad brain thinking thing.

    Damien Rice released O 12 years ago. Jaysus.
    Elbow, Seldom Seen Kid, 2008, same year Portishead came back with Third. Flawless albums.

    MGMT had one very good album, CSS had some very cool stuff, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc.
    Rodrigo y Gabriella made their names during the 2000s.
    Seasick Steve too.

    Good times!

    It would appear that you have an acute case of no stalgia.

    You know what they say though, if you can remember the 2000's you weren't there man.

    Utterly turgid and self-indulgent drivel. The type of album designed for playback in the nursing homes of the 2050s'.

    I was in a car accident once caused by Mark Mc Cabes Maniac. The driver was trying to dance and drive at the same time which ended up with the car on its roof. We all crawled out except the driver who broke his arm. I remember we where waiting on the emergency services and the song was still playing in the car

    You have to give it to the man though, he's ahead of the pack in that regard.

    Blur's Music Is My Radar is one of the best of the decade, imo

    The success of progressive artists like Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree in the 2000s tells me there was a demand for more challenging music then.

    The stuff that gets play on the radio in Ireland has been fairly crap but there has been some good stuff. I think some have already mentioned System of a Down. Damien Rice. I liked Guggenheim Grotto. Some of Ben Folds stuff.

    Ireland actually had some pretty good stuff come out in that 10 years...Damien Rice, Paddy Casey, The Frames, Guggenheim Grotto, Mic Chirstopher, Lisa Hannigan, JJ72, Snow Patrol, Ash, The Revs (mainly for Death of a DJ)...I haven't liked everything put out by them. I know it's popular to dislike the singer songwriters but they did put out some great stuff.

    Even U2 put out a couple of good songs..Mostly crap but a couple of really good songs.

    Norah Jones put out a good album during that time. I think Seasick Steve came around at some point there. Muse are amazing. Some of the the Arctic Monkeys stuff is great.

    Regina Spektor had a few great songs. Ditto Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles

    There was a great blues band in Galway that released a CD but they went nowhere. Unfortunately, in Ireland we don't have enough diversity on radio and mediums for getting good music out there.

    I'm actually putting together a 21st century playlist on Spotify to take me out of living in the past when it comes to music, and there's some outstanding stuff. E.g. Let England Shake is PJ Harvey's best album IMO.

    It's been terrible for pop/chart in the last ten years (thought there was a bit of a golden period in the early 2000s with e.g. Neptunes, The Sugababes) but plenty of other types of music have been excellent.

    A lot of it is particularly derivative (I know that's always been the way, but in particular the last 15 years IMO) but nothing wrong with that.

    Slash released "slither"in 2004 a cool song a good indication of where GnR would of gone if Axl hadn't disappeared up his own arse.

    Funny you should say that. My wife used to play it over and over and over. She should be nursing home age then. Karma might strike. She was the same with your man from Wales..can't think of his name
