Top 20 of 2000s

So here it is, the end of another decade... These events inevitably prompt an endless number of list to define the decade we will soon be bidding farewell to. Here is my attempt at a top 20 of songs that meant something to me personally throughout the 2000s...

20. Rage Against The Machine – Killing In The Name (2009)*
19. Clint Eastwood – Gorillaz (2001)
18. Please Don’t Leave Me – Pink (2009)
17. Teenage Dirtbag – Wheatus (2000)
16. Bleed It Out – Linkin Park (2007)
15. Ruby – Kaiser Chiefs (2007)
14. The Kill – 30 Seconds To Mars (2006)
13. Best Of You – Foo Fighters (2005)
12. Viva La Vida – Coldplay (2008)
11. Sex On Fire – Kings Of Leon (2008)
10. Welcome To The Black Parade – My Chemical Romance (2006)
9. Seven Nation Army – The White Stripes (2003)
8. Complicated – Avril Lavigne (2002)
7. By The Way – Red Hot Chili Peppers (2002)
6. Dakota – Stereophonics (2005)
5. American Idiot – Green Day (2004)
4. Buck Rogers – Feeder (2001)
3. Bring Me To Life – Evanescence (2003)
2. All The Small Things – Blink 182 (2000)
1. Mr Brightside – The Killers (2004)

*I am aware that this song is technically not from the ‘noughties’ as such but I feel that the impact it made in finally pushing X Factor off the Christmas Number 1 spot warrants its inclusion in such a list.

My new years resolution is to right much more regular posts, Happy New Year!!!
