On The List 2000S: 111 Music Lists of the Decade's Best Bands, Albums and Songs

The 60s had the Beatles. The 70s had Led Zeppelin. The 80s had Michael Jackson. The 90s had Nirvana. The 00s had... That depends on who you ask. Some chant Eminem. Some shout for The White Stripes. While others may vote for American Idol. Musically, the 00s were a schizophrenic digital playground, where control over music was taken out of the hands of music directors and was placed back in the hands of the individual. Music flourished on digital MP3 players, where rock lived next to rap next to electronic next to country next to pop...and so on. Every artist had an equal chance to be featured on our personal playlists. Because of this, no one band or genre dominated. Musical exposure was limited. This book hopes to dig a little deeper than our MP3 players allowed us and expand our listening pleasure. Brought to you by The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown, one of the premiere music blogs on the internet, come explore one of the most diverse musical decades yet.
