Comets on Fire – “Antlers of the Midnight Sun” Listen to Our Best Songs of the 2000s Playlist. So let’s get started-we present the best songs of the 2000s. Of course, there’s always more great songs where those came from. It’s a way to try to cover as much ground as possible without necessarily trying to spread ourselves too thin. With our newly re-evaluated list of the Best Songs of the 2000s, we’ve included two “Further Listening” songs with each entry, essentially expanding this list to 450 songs, and giving readers several days’ worth of songs to revisit or hear for the first time. An impossible task, but one worth trying anyhow. It’s an attempt to capture as much of the ’00s as we can in 150 songs-mainstream, underground, experimental and pop-chart polished.

Rather, we’ve included everything from bohemian noise to doom metal, Swedish pop to Congotronics. There’s no way to precisely pinpoint everything that had an impact this isn’t a list of the biggest songs of the decade, and we didn’t see the point of making a carbon copy of the Billboard charts. And despite our voracious appetites for music at the time-aided by a file-sharing culture that emphasized everything-at-once eclecticism-we feel like the first list we put together doesn’t now accurately represent what we think stands among the best music of the decade. Our listening habits have changed, the way we view music in hindsight has changed-some music hasn’t aged well, some has slow burned its way to visibility in ways that it didn’t back then. With a decade of distance between us and that decade, it dawned on us: Maybe we should put together a new list of the Best Songs of the 2000s-or, maybe more accurately, our favorite songs of the 2000s. The ’00s might be over, but they’re never really far from our thoughts.
