My Top 100 Songs of the Millennium (2000-2014)

The following list is a list of my 100 favorites songs of the first fifteen years of this millennium.

Enjoy!!!


#1) White Lies – Big TV is an excellent album all the way through and the title song totally rocks…


"Big TV" by White Lies
 

#2) The song Haifisch by Rammstein is a song about the shark and how despite it’s strength and power is often misunderstood. The song is featured on the 2009 album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da.

#3) I am a huge Pink Floyd fan, so naturally when I heard that David Gilmour was releasing an album I was on it immediately and bought it the day it was released. “On An Island” is easily one of my ten favorite albums of the millennium to date.  “The Blue” is a mesmerizingly beautiful song and is as affecting as anything he ever recorded with Pink Floyd.

#4) I became of fan of King Crimson in the mid 80’s after having discovered Adrian Belew from the Talking heads album “Remain In Light.” I basically had to own everything Belew was part of including albums by The Bears, Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, King Crimson and of course his solo albums. “Eyes Wide Open” is featured on the Crimson’s 2003 album “The Power To Believe.”

#5) Liam McKahey is easy one of this generations most underrated singer/songwriters. He first came to acclaim in 200 with the band Cousteau who had a semi-hit with the song “Last Good Day Of The Year.” The band released three albums before disbanding. Since then McKahey has released two albums with his new band called Liam McKahey and the Bodies. The deep and dark “Lovers and Fools” is featured on his 2009 album “Lonely Road.”

#6) Bastille is a young English synthpop, indie rock group that has hit the world by storm with a sound which is both alternative and accessible. To date they’ve released one album called “Bad Blood,” which is a solid set from beginning to end. My favorite tune is the anthemic “The Things We Lost In The Fire.”
