Great list. I love all of these songs and these bands totally make up the soundtrack of my life.
wonderful list, beautiful songs. Thanks!
Fantastic list. When I first heard Young Folks I think I must have listened it to it 20-30 times in a row that night.
Absolutely,love it............Thanks
Thank you so much for posting this list. It made the perfect backdrop music for my essay-writing process tonight. :)
really good list. I'm gonna take a listen to the one's i haven't heard before since I like what i see that i know haha.
I agree with most of the songs. I own a lot of them! My favorite is probably Reckoner by Radiohead. I don't think it's my favorite song on the album, because I LOVE all the songs from In Rainbows!
You have an absolutly fucking amazing taste in music.
Completely subjective.. All of these songs suck.
Great job man we have a very similar taste in music.
AWeSOME LIST
Good list, I guess. I never listen to these bands and probably will when the 80's get boring, as in never!!!!! But none the lest you have good taste my friend
Good list I guess. I don't know to much of this music because I don't often listen to new music.If the 80's ever get boring I will, as in I will if I'm senile :P. None the less, you have good taste my friend
Completely awful. I can't stand any of these songs, you obviously didnt pay much attention to music over the last 10 years.
shit. shit songs.
Great list. Some on there I'm not familiar with, but will check out post haste.
Great list. Thanks for putting it together!
thanks for all good songs in one list!
I've never before listened to indie...
I'm just gonna download 10GB of music now.
list FAIL
I feel like you put together this entire playlist for me personally. I haven't listened to nearly as much music as I would have liked recently, but this is perfect. Thank you so much.
Everybody here realizes that there are FOUR parts to this list right?
Amazing collection, glad I stumbled upon it[:
EHHHHHHHHH!! WRONG
I have all these songs on my Mac!I put them all into one excellent playist for when i'm at starbucks or drinking my PBR.
This is a terrible terrible list. Tegan and Sara make me want to slowly bleed to death.
Great artists, but lame choice of songs...whatcha do? copy the list off a radiostation playlist, nothing but singles on there.. missing hundreds of great songs and artists...
where are the libertines?
Ohh well done. I agree with most of these.
This list gives me hope in the dark days of Justin Bieber.
Good list, except "daylight" that song is horrendous garbage
Definitely a little biased towards indie rock, but still a credible and great list.
I should've been a Badger instead of a Gopher
you forgot bright eyes for real
This is a nice list but it's sad that you (almost) put only commercial music...There're lot of underground artists who deserve a place here.
Here's the Spotify playlist for Jonk Music's Best of the 2000s. I don't think there's an official one, so I built it myself. Also, it's missing five tracks that weren't on Spotify (at time of construction):
The Black Keys - All Hands Against His Own
The Raconteurs - Steady, As She Goes
Radiohead - Reckoner
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Yeasayer - 2080

(Users: if one of these songs becomes available, shoot me a Spotify message. I'd love to have a complete playlist.
Jonk Music: if this infringes on a copyright issue or something, shoot me a Spotify message and I'll see what I can do)
Good list, but the lack of Magnetic Fields totally invalidates it.
Glad to see that the Shins at least made it with ONE song. And Muse. I think it's a pretty good list...but I have no use for about a third of it which all sounds alike... unmusical repetitious banging with little intelligence to the lyrics. We need another Pink Floyd.
Awesome list - glad to see the Arcade Fire and The Kills. Surley Kings of Leon deserve a spot as well? And there is no denying Arctic Monkeys, although it would be hard to choose just one song from both bands! Thanks for your list, I'll be sure to check out some of the ones I haven't heard before.
