Top 300 Songs of the 2000s, #250 - 241

So, I've realised that there's more posts than days left in the month for this amazingly amazing 2000s countdown... so on some very special days, you're going to get served with a double helping of hits from the first decade of the new millennium. Today is one of those very special days. I know, I know... you are so excited that you just want to scream, shout, dance and maybe even pee a little. That's kind of weird. My recommendation is to cut out the pee portion of your excited freak out and maybe just go with the scream, shout and dance as you enjoy the next ten songs on the list...

#250 - Here With Me (2001)

by Dido

I didn't hear you leave,

I wonder how am I still here...

It's a shame that Dido's last album, Safe Trip Home, wasn't the massive success it deserved to be. Her songwriting remains leaps and bounds ahead of many of her contemporaries. Those songwriting skills can be found right from the start, including the most excellent 'Here With Me.' And hey, it's the theme for Roswell.

Blink-182



After today we're fifty songs down in our 2000s countdown! What's on tap for today? A song that brought a crazy woman back into the spotlight (in a big way), three of the biggest alternative rock acts (only two are still making music together) and arguably the biggest band in the world today (not by me though). Strap yourselves in... here we go!

#260 - We Belong Together (2005)

by Mariah Carey

I can't sleep at night, when you are on my mind,

Bobby Womack's on the radio...

Scissor Sisters... in happier times.


Happy Saturday boys and girls... is everyone sweating it up like I am right now? Don't answer that. All I'll say is that I'd rather be in one of the snowstorms in the USA. So nice. So cold. Anyway, how 'bout that countdown? Which countdown? This countdown! Ten more amazing songs from the 2000s, coming right up...

#270 - Take Your Mama (2004)

by Scissor Sisters

And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad,

We're gonna sing along no matter what...

The quality of the Scissor Sisters' work may have declined with each release, but during 2004 they were one of the most critically celebrated bands in the world. No one can take that away from them.

Top 20 - 5 February, 2011

1. Eminem - Space Bound





2. Zowie - Bite Back





3. Operator Please - Catapult





4. Clare Maguire - The Last Dance (NEW)





5. Year of the Tiger - War (NEW)

Song of the Day - Maybe

Angus and Julia Stone...

Julia Stone - Maybe

Album: The Memory Machine (2011)


Along with brother Angus, Julia Stone had a massive 2010. Will 2011 see her rise to solo prominence? The jury's out on her first release, 'Maybe,' a quiet song with some interesting lyrics and an artsy random music video. It's not really a song that's designed to get you pumped up for the release of an album... or is it? Are you down with 'Maybe,' and will you be checking out The Memory Machine when it's released?

Rating: 3/5

#280 - Push Up (2004)

by Freestylers

I think I saw your body before I saw your face...

It's all about the music video. How could you say  no to that music video?
