The 111 Best Music Lists of the 2000s From the Blog, the Good, the Bad and the Unknown, Lists of the Best Bands, Albums & Songs of the First Decade of the 2000s

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 may chant Eminem. Others might shout The White Stripes. While the rest may surprisingly 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 classical...and so on. Every artist had an equal chance on our personal featured playlists, because of this, no one band or genre dominated. Musical exposure was limited. This book hopes to right the ship, to set the course and dig a little deeper than our MP3 players allowed us. Taken from the website 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.
