Who Did That 2000s Song #2

So is every other decade

Not much great stuff but less crap than the 2010s imo. I guess the total numbers of songs keep going up, while the number of good ones per year/decade sort of stays steady.

Modest Mouse, yeah yeah yeahs, and the kilers were gems, however. Most of the other music was quite forgettable. The best era for music of all types was really 1988-2006, and that's quite broad

Blasphemy! :-)

Agreed! there are always good artists making good music, sometimes you just have to look. And every generation in history has looked at the art and music of their children and thought that it was bad. Every generation thinks that the next one is ruining the world.

There's definitely still great music being made, but you will rarely find it on the radio or the Billboard charts.

I would add to this my major gripe that people are always taking credit for their generation's music like they're responsible for the music. If you came of age when the Beatles or Nirvana were dominating the radio, it's a lucky coincidence, not something to brag about. I don't understand why these people brag about how great older music is when they had nothing to do with creating the music. If anything, younger generations getting into older music is impressive, because Pearl Jam, The Who, etc. aren't the big forces in pop music now. Younger people need to seek great music out and find it, which they do in large numbers.

There was once a 60s song called "La la la" that won the Eurovision Song Contest...

Seconded.
