Christina Aguilera - Candyman (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo1SN6ESCbg&fmt=18) - from the moment Alexandra Burke sang it on the X Factor (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KluejvinhQ8&fmt=18), I fell in love with it. Fantastic.
Leon Jackson - Creative (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=foC9C81wpIs&fmt=18) - it's not actually been released on disk or digital download yet, but the video is still there and it's great.
Just to prove I'm not just into big band swing stuff - Britney Spears - Lucky (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v_H_dLw18Us&fmt=18) - I suppose it's a bit young for me, even Wikipedia calls it teen pop, but I love it anyway. When it first came out I was going through a bad patch and I suppose I sympathized with it.
Anastasia - Left Outside Alone (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OafB-wFKpL0&fmt=18) - hadn't heard this song in over five years, but I still remember it - that, in my opinion, being the hallmark of a fantastic track.
Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7MuXgoUJ5cs&fmt=18) - just one word, fantastic.

:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:
But in all seriousness...
The Sailing to Philadelphia album by Knopfler was released after 2000, wasn't it? There have been a number of other good ones too, like Chinese Democracy or Black Ice.
And if you enjoy britpop(I don't) there's been a lot of new releases and bands(like babyshambles or Franz Ferdinand)...
Oh, and White Stripes have made some brilliant albums. And Foo Fighters has made something too I think? And I'm probably missing quite a few...

Here are some classic '00 songs: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/pages.html?cart=34412827578076482&target=smp_detail.html%26sku%3DHL.311656&s=pages-
Now if you were talking about 2000, I wouldn't consider any song of the decade to be a classic, especially since we aren't even done with the decade.
Even if we were, there is just too many Greenday-wannabes with emo haircuts and voices that sound exactly the same, and too many bubblegum-pop American Idle rejects in music today that everything is forgetable.
Give me The Eagles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0CDieb4yM) any day.

True. But there are some... ACDC is rocking like ever, for example, and that Chinese Democracy was released before democracy in China truly shocking.
But yeah. The 00's will probably go down in history as the lamest decade ever. And when you remember the poodles of the 80's, that's saying something.

What's different:
- Minimalism.
- Bass is out/gone/muted.
- (what Kek said ) Vocalists sound the same. :skull:
What the same:
- The drugged/drunk musicians are still better....
- Older songs still get butchered (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V622A9jVriA). :fainting:

The Klaxons
Golden Skans
http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=yYKfX60bPrI
[Insert rant here]
Reasonable choices other than this. The Klaxons are perhaps the most overrated scene kid group to ever pollute the radio with their vile filth. I don't know when putting a rubbish synthesiser beat with screaming vocals over it suddenly became a recipe for success but in all seriousness I personally consider them garbage. At least the 80's groups can claim to of started the original trend of mainly talentless music but by trying to bring the same thing back into the 21st century complete with ridiculous hair styles I mean seriously, some things are best left in the past.
Even worse you see people walking round wearing cloths which bands like this have thrown into the main stream. Come one now I thought we were over the 80's bad dress sense some one needs to tell these people that tight skinny red jeans don't belong on a man. EVER. It defies the roles of human nature.. .
The thing is I was actually foolish enough to borrow their album of a friend after hearing this song and thinking maybe they might have similar tracks but the thing is they don't! After a while I realised this song wasn't all that great but Christ their albums even worse. It's like some one got a bag of cats drowned them and then recorded twelve songs out of their screams.

There are a couple good songs here and there. A few bearable pop songs every now and then. In the land of rock('n'roll) there are a few gems like Four Kicks and almost everything by the Kings of Leon and pretty much anything by the Black Keys, and more obscurely Just Don't Care by Dollhouse and You On The Run by the Black Angels.
The only thing for me to come close has to be the Mars Volta's first album, De-Loused In the Comatorium. Some of the best musicianship I've ever heard. But, then again truly great songs are both astounding and broadly reaching to (almost) all society.

Fixed it for you. :beam:
I concur with Kekvit Irae though - 00's music is mostly samey commercialised dross. :inquisitive:
I can think of a few songs from this decade I like. Not really any I can imagine being popular in a decade or two, though. I'm probably just getting too old in my mid twenties, though. :clown:
Houston, we have a fail.
I think this decade's music blew up on the launch pad...
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
No One Knows - Live are Reading (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haWVIaslEOs)
perhaps the best single ever.
Muse
Knights of Cydonia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sBOsh-vyI)

Uhm..... Right. That may apply to painters, but it doesn't apply to musicians.
Some of the greatest in history:
- Louis Armstrong
- Frank Sinatra
- Ledzep
- Clapton
- Michael Jackson
- Johnny Cash
- Aretha Franklin
- The Beatles, including the solo's
- Rolling Stones
....And the list goes on. Every single one of them were/are massive icons in their time. I actually can't think of any musicians who are greater now than when they lived.

My favorte songs tend not to be "classics", per se.
If I HAD to pick a favorite song of mine that's "timeless"(again, per se), it would be this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CcSMUR9kSA)
...And the list goes on. Every single one of them were/are massive icons in their time. I actually can't think of any musicians who are greater now than when they lived.
Nirvana.
Edit:
Also I see the Libertines as the last kind of popular band that still carried the rock spirit in their hearts. Almost everything after that and also a lot of band a few years before them already were just popmusic (Oasis, Emo, Green Day, Blink 128,...) with guitar or just not popular but underground. The latter of course not being bad music, though I guess it has its share, just not popular. Though there have been other times that the only rockbands that were rockbands were underground. Remember the Motley creu era? We had to wait for Metallica/Nirvana (US) or The Smiths (UK) and Indie/college bands to pop up and realise they could make their version of real rock popular too. Sadly they overdid it with punkpop and emo in the US and Britrock becoming britpop. (Oasis and it's copycats: Travis, The Verve,... and their arch enemy Blur in a lesser extend). With the Libertines and co closing the Era to leave us with the Artic Monkey's and the okayish Franz Ferdinand.
Oasis released some 00's tracks that could be considered classics in their album Don't Believe the Truth. But they're not exactly a new band. Most of the 'classics' I know are from the 90's, such as the Goo Goo Dolls and one particular track by Radiohead that goes by the name Creep. :music:

Don Van Vliet is amazing! He's also a painter (http://www.michaelwerner.com/artist_1_main_1.htm), so maybe that's why?
HoreTore, although you've never heard of him, you actually would have, most punk and post-punk bands are influenced by the Captain. As John Peel said,
"If there has ever been such a thing as a genius in the history of popular music, it's Beefheart…I heard echoes of his music in some of the records I listened to last week and I'll hear more echoes in records that I listen to this week."
Trivia: Safe as Milk was John Lennon's favourite album of 1967, he even bought the album twice so he could get two bumper stickers to put on both the back left and right of his car. :book2:

Also another band that surely is more popular now than in the old days: Black Sabbat. Its now the Metal fan's 2 pac/Elvis/... And I guess 2pac has only became a legend in the rap world after his death too, again due to an early death. So if you ever want to become a legend, get shot or shoot yourself. It most definately worked for Achilles.

Uhm.... The 1970 release "Black Sabbath" sold a million copies. "Paranoid" in 1971 sold four million. They've always been one of the defining bands of a new genre(heavy metal), that's not new. That their music is still very popular doesn't mean that it wasn't popular back in their day, which it was.
Also, Ozzy Osbourne is surprisingly alive... In fact, the band isn't even disbanded...

Just reminded this topic, and thought 'What the hell, no one mentioned Tool'.
Mind you, I'm not in Metal nor into industrial or progessive rock, but Tool is plain awesome. You might not like their song, but they've created something new.
Schism is a master piece.
That, and they're freaky, which is cool.

The Stooges. People hated them throughout their active years in the late 60's and early 70's, yet I doubt you could find a single punk musician who does not list the Stooges as an inspiration, not to mention all modern rock artists. (And I know, Iggy Pop became famous afterwards, but that doesn't really count.)
Also, an even better example: the Velvet Underground. People say that only a few thousand people bought their albums at their release, but just about every one of them went on to become a musician.
And I'm sure I could think of others.
