« View previous chartView next chart »
I've recently gone back and updated this as part of a bigger project of properly organising my 2000s collection into year-by-year 100 lists. This was also a vein attempt to feel like I know more about this period of music, since simply put I really don't - but I at least know more now even as I continue to feel like I'm just scratching the surface.

This is an outstanding 2000s chart, with a nice combination of obvious classics and under-the-radar growers. I love Funeral (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Illinois, Sound of Silver, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and lots of your other selections. I'm very intrigued by Unsolved as your #1 pick--I've never heard it, but it's evidently something I need to check out. Thanks for sharing this chart!
