AYCOADB: Thread 13

Here we go for 2002.
Fun to see I did the year every football fan in France wants to remember (199 and now I go for the year they all want to forget.
Very tough choice since I love 19 of the 20 available songs, and more then 10 are true favourite of mine (a.k.a. would be in my top 500).

10. (NEW) Johnny Cash - Hurt




Demands great talent to transform a drug song into a farewell song, one of the best covers of the current decade.

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

9. (5) (2 Years) Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood



The one and only song I have sung on scene for a live show, I'm usually glad to stay behind my drums.
Anyway, even though the ending is toooooo stretched, that bass line seems like an evidence and the two verses kick ass.

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

8. (2) (8 years) Pulp – Common People



Did not win our 90s poll by coincidence.

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

7. (NEW) LCD Soundsystem - Losing my Edge



One of the 3 or 4 revolutions which will in years define this decade will be this song and House of Jealous Lovers and LCD Soundsystem will end as one of the 10 greatest band (well, I hope so anyway).

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

6. (1) (2 years) The Strokes - Last Nite



Talking about decade defining songs...

The end of the list tomorrow !

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

5.(NEW) Eminem - Without Me



4. (4) (2 years) The White Stripes - Fell In Love With a Girl

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

3. (10) (3 years) OutKast – Ms. Jackson



2. (7) (2 Years) New Order - Crystal

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

1. (NEW) Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

I should probably have put it 2nd or 3rd, but that's a pure heart choice. That is the song that made me want to play drums, that made me want to stop drums, that made me first love that band which is now my favourite one... The 2 coolest men in today's music met in this fabulous album, and this is one of their best success.

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

Many thanks for the show, Nassim! The forum's darling "Common People" is now #2 of all time.

AJackson, you once said that you would take 2003. Still up for it?

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

I can take 2003 if AJackson doesn't have time to host it.

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

I forgot all about this. Sure I'll still do 2003.

Re: AYCOADB: Thread 13

Here we go with 2003.

This was one of my favorite years for music, and a a very strong singles year. It was extremely difficult to get this down to 10 songs and a lot of great songs were left out.
