To be honest, I think the noughties were a pretty awful decade for music. Between the pitch-corrector (I suspect that’s Madonna’s fault – she started it with “Music” in 2000… Then again, maybe it’s Cher’s fault for “Believe” back in the 90’s?) and the god-awful bland repetitive contrived stadium rock (Nickelback, et al…) that has ruled the airwaves for the last ten years, it’s been a pretty hard task finding the good stuff in amongst an enormous pile of shite.
And don’t even get me started on what they now call R & B (Can anyone else hear the R or the B? I can’t…)
So, with that in mind – here is my official hitlist for the Noughties…
Coldplay – Don’t Panic
Destiny’s Child – Bootylicious
Kylie Minogue – Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
The Hives – Hate To Say I Told You So
The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army
Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
Outkast – Hey Ya!
Jet – Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Kings Of Leon – Red Morning Light
U2 – Vertigo
Gwen Stefani – What You Waiting For?
Snow Patrol – Run
The Killers – All These Things That I Have Done
Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out
Kaiser Cheifs – Every Day I Love You Less And Less
Gnarls Barkley – Crazy
Amy Winehouse – Rehab
Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Mika – Grace Kelly
Silverchair – Straight Lines
Pearl Jam – The Fixer
Happy New Year!
