Top 50 Songs of the '00s!
This was the decade that brought emo, electronica, and hip-hop into full fashion. The '00s were also the decade that brought death to the pop singer, that is until Miley and gang came back in full force. It's crazy, as bad as the music industry has become, it feels like at the same time we've been given new music that's beautiful and inventive. I thought I would do my best to put a list together, (since we all know I'm a sucker for a list), that would encompass what this decade has been about. I tried to do my best to think of our culture and what could be considered as signs of the times...then I put them into priority of what my favorites are...drum roll please...
