Will the 00's be remembered fondly?

Em, same. The 90's produced better songs than this decade anyways.

1998 was an especially good year. Three of my favorite albums, The Shape Of Punk To Come, Rafi's Revenge, and Let's Talk About Feelings were released that year.

I watched the best songs of the 90's on VH1 last week, and it totally reminded me how corny the 90's were. Nothing but one hit wonders and boy bands.

2000 has been so much better than the 90's.

Debatable.

And you're right, Alfred. '98 was the tits. Music Hast the Right to Children, Something About Airplanes, Is this Desire?, Mezzanine, and some album by some band called Neutral Milk something. The hipsters must have had an absolute field day in 98.

Ha. Like that gives you ANY actual frame of reference. The only Radiohead song they had on there was Creep.

Indeed! Since when does VH1 even have shows about music? Isn't it like MTV now? Pretty much reality shows until normal people are asleep and THEN they play music related stuff.

I agree with a lot music_phamtom13 said.

I think the 00's will be remembered for a lot of radio **** but also for the ways the internet has opened doors to popularizing indie bands that otherwise wouldn't have had a chance in the 90's.

I agree it is debatable depending on the genre in my experience most of my favourite songs are from the 90's

I've never heard anyone call the 90s corny. You're telling me Nirvana, Pavement, DJ Shadow, Guided By Voices, Built To Spill, Yo La Tengo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, MF DOOM, Radiohead (who I don't like but will include), Mice Parade, Stereolab, Beck, Cake, Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr (granted it was J solo and easily their worst period), Mogwai, Tortoise, Flaming Lips, Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, etc. were all one hit wonders and boy bands? I think you missed a lot, my friend. I'll go on if need be; the 90s and 00s are tied for my favorite decade in music I think.

EDIT: And I understand you may not like those genres, but I don't think you can write off the whole decade as one hit wonders and boy bands.

Completely agree! Damn near ALL of the artists I listen to started in the 90s
