2002 Had BANGERS 

yes

agree

Toxic da 🐐 no 🧢

The beat on toxic is too fire

Britney not appearing on these lists is blasphemous. You could not so much as go take a shit in the year 2000 without hearing Oops I Did It Again in some capacity

Nothing like a DBZ x In The End AMV to hype a young teen in the 00's

​@@yetinate8014 Thanks for mentioning that. Those Dragonball AMVs with LP music kicked ass! It was my first introduction to the internet really.

The best years of my childhood. Blasting amvs and being introduced to all these different bands of the 90s and 00s.

@@yetinate8014 No doubt! I got introduced to Linkin Park through a Papercut Dragonball AMV

2002 was a watershed moment in for the American anime community in general. DBZ had officially become the best thing since sliced bread, the AcTN block kicked into high gear, and at the center of all of it was Linkin Park, a bunch of unapologetic mecha fans that loved Gundam.

🤣🤣🤣

Lol that was also the year of Wasting My Time by Default, My Sacrifice by Creed, and the Hero song Chad Kroeger did for Spider-Man. What an amazing year to be a suburban dad 2002 was

@@cityboy2092 Don't forget about One Last Breath also by Creed!

Whever

@MitchLmitten. I don’t get this Dad meme when we talk about Post Grunge/Butt Rock bands. Post Grunge/Butt Rock appeals more to a younger audience (now are in their mid 20’s to mid 30’s) that are sad. The people that listen to Puddle Of Mudd, Nickelback or The Calling or more likely to listen to Dido than Foo Fighters or Muse that are very much Dad bands. I should know because I’m one of those people that listen to Post Grunge and also likes Dido, and I’m in my mid 20’s.

@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedSilentPlanet I would agree but it’s still a really good song

@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedSilentPlanet no but I can only think of a few that touch the presence in the end had (numb, what I’ve done, numb)

@@kdawgthechef2855 I think you forgot numb

Its mid, i despise the sound of the 2000's say for a few songs that don't sound like they are from that decade.

@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedSilentPlanet LP doesn't have 15 great songs.

For a band that has never been regarded as critically acclaimed, they're one of the most influential bands of this generation.

Kind of off topic but as a South African America seems by far to have the most eclectic selection of music. It's quite amazing, though I suppose it's size can account for some of that.

I’ve never been into Linkin Park, I’ve listened to like two songs by them, but I have heard from so many people that this band influenced them, helped them to get through their life etc. that I can’t dislike them. Plus, the songs I did hear were excellent. They seem like the only good nu-metal band😊

@@hunterlawless8835 They super corny. That’s how you could dislike them. You are right tho. Also, nostalgia sure helps. Remember they had that song with Dre? Cringe

@@oetproductions8101 remember that collab EP with JayZ! Amazing.

Yeah, but back then people were substituting S's with Z's and doing other things with letters in names so I'm not surprised.

Such a bad band as well

i feel like that's a scene from the puddle of mudd biopic. blurry: the puddle of mudd story

pudd o mudd

That Puddle track is not B tier... C, tops

singlehandedly made the song a timeless classic for millennials

IKR

It's a good thing because it's getting boring

Let's not forget Move Your Feet by Junior Senior

I bet Fantano hates that movie lol

I can’t help but love that song lol

If you start playing the track in the background just after fantano starts talking about them in this video it somehow fits perfectly..

@@maki6569 What?

@@guykoplowich4068 ever heard of terry crews?

i love fantano comments because i get such unusual music recs that always hit, got any fav individual songs?

@@TheLegoBongoDrum I'm not thee biggest fan of hers but White Houses is a pretty damn good song

@@TheLegoBongoDrum For individual tracks I agree that _White Houses_ is a huge stand out I think it's her next best written/performed song out of her entire discog. Two other tracks are _Private Radio_ and _Ordinary day._ She did a bunch of covers that I think show off her singing skills like _Dreams_ (Fleetwood Mac) and I like her version of _Paint It Black_ (The Rolling Stones).

I'm disappointed they didn't hold my attention - I'm not sure who's fault that is. I listened to so much of their first two albums and have got to catch up on anything since

Eminem and Linkin Park topped the charts

@@dsxa918 Minutes To Midnight is meant to be listened to after the first two. It's all quiet and kind of has "after the storm" vibes ATS sucks at first but grows on you.

@@dsxa918 Man every song is memorable, you really gotta listen to every album from beginning to end. 7 entire masterpieces.

​@@dsxa918 Same happen me with Doom, ppl love him, but its no for me.

The only modern day rock artist that was heavily influenced by Cornell, that could hold a candle, *in my opinion* is Brent Smith of Shinedown. Brent’s said multiple times that Chris had a major impact on him. Which, out of all the mid-range vocalists of the 2000’s to today, Brent Smith has the best range and vocal chops to back it up.

i would said Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge is the closest thing to a Cornell copycat in terms of vocal range when it comes to the post grunge/alt metal late 2000 acts. Which is funny since the musicians from that band made famous by working with a Eddie Vedder copycat in the first place lmao

@@nicolasriveros943 good call. I sadly forget about Myles.

@@jbstrevel94 still a great singer tho

Yeah, I feel like Chris Cornell is underappreciated as a vocalist. Plenty of people know he was great of course, but not as many as there should be.

I tried so hard to add more songs But in the end is all that really matters

you're right. that was funny.

celest

Curr for the itch goes stupidly fire tho is that an unpopular opinion?

The strings on Cure For The Itch make it ascend the whole album upward in time for the finale track.

Same lol. Linkin Park really did lead me towards it and I'm so thankful it did.

Dick Mountain is better than Shopify Mountain.

and the interview of his maybe is the reason he's not hating on linking park for once 😂

I remember being like 14 and rapping hands held high and bleed it out. Then I heard deltron 3030 and ever since rap has been one of my favorite genres.

Nah it's amazing.

Not hating on your opinion at all, but Chad's voice is what kills it for me. Totally subjective but when I hear him sing I think of farts, or expired hot dogs, or not showering for several days and this song is the perfect example of that

listen to if everyone cared and if today was your last day, great songs imo that everyone overlooks

Same

it's a banger

It's because of that, of course. The moment you were a teenager tends to be when a lot of people (not saying this is your or Fantano's case) think music peaked. That's why the old people trope is complaining about "how they don't do music like they used to, man". In my head, the best couple of years for music were 2006 to 2008 because I was incredibly excited about it back then. I turned 17 in 06 and we started going to this club that on top of having a room for rap, and a room for electro, had a room for indie rock which was the genre I was really into at the time, also a new (and very short lived) TV channel centered in alternative/indie music appeared that year in my country. Those three years were a time of constant music discovery for me. There was always a new band, a new song, a new album to listen to, and it was very exciting. I started going to as many concerts as I could during that time also. Of course when I go back and listen to music from that era I have a lot of nostalgia for it even if I think many of the albums I used to listen back then don't hold up at all.

In the End defined my childhood

Lets be real, our dads will NEVER appreciate Linkin Park the way we do. Sometimes you just gotta come up at a certain time

@Matt Bethel. Not for me, I’m one of those “born in the wrong era” types. I was born in 1996 but I really should’ve been born in 1984 so I could’ve been a teenager during my favourite era of music from 1997 to 2003. I was a teenager from 2009 to 2016 and the music fucking sucked.

nostalgia is a hell of a drug

LET THEM KNOW!!!

i like up the movie better🤷‍♂️

dude, barry williams show, signal to noise, darkness and fucking SKY BLUE. what an album.

Peter Gabriel da 🐐 no 🧢

Brrr skibidi bop bop bop yes yes

yeah, this

Yep

Nope

That’s the death of the monoculture for ya

I think back then song structure still mattered so much. Like artists really had a verse a chorus a verse another chorus a bridge and a closure. From pop to rap from rock to R'N'B this was still the rulebook. I think the streaming Era kinda killed that

Bruh what is this boomerzoomer ass take. You are literally watching one of the largest music reviewers in the world. Just go through fandango’s best of the year lists if you are missing some good modern / contemporary music

@@brandonayong5823 This, 100%. god i miss the mainstream having bridges and stuff

Yeah I disagree. There's lots of great new music. You're just nostalgic

Bruh.. Songs for the deaf tho

True

Love to see Silverchair be appreciated by others, such a solid Aussie band up there with The Living End and Violent Soho.

Damn. Silverchair was such am overlooked band here in the states. I lived and breathed Frogstomp and always looked forward to each of their subsequent projects.

insane that the label did that

There early years were super good. They’ve gone a little “Maroon 5” the last 5-10 years.

Still amazes me that Tomorrow was preformed by 15 year old's

3:52

❤

YOU LIKE TO THINK YOURE NEVER WROOOOONG

One of the few bands that everyone didn't turn on when they found out that everyone likes them

Terry Crews agrees!

That " Chill pop" Era was so amazing A thousand miles Everything Dido was doing That girl who sang "Nothing is right I'm torn. I'm all out of place. This is how I feel." 😂😂

Why are you fantano fans so… delicate? Like feminine men. You have some of the most vaginal takes on pop music lol. Like full of estrogen

Yep

I know. I love that song

In The End is always a guaranteed party starter when you're at karaoke.

A

I need to know how old u are respectfully 😭

@@zoerose3478 26

It’s really the recording and the mix - plenty of people pound out drum tracks that get mixed down to oblivion. Whoever mastered that track said no, we’re letting every instrument sit at 66% and duke it out. That song had to be recorded somewhere special and mastered by a legend.

A thousand suns is their best tho.

All 7*

@@thefan1629I agree with that actually. I have a tendency to listen to Hybrid Theory and Meteora the most but I think A thousand suns is their highest quality record from start to finish. Shame that it was dismissed so quickly by everyone back when it released just because it wasn’t nu metal.

Your summary of that era of Linkin Park is perfect. Speaking of Cure for the Itch, I distinctly remember discovering it back in 2001 or so when I had the CD and was listening through, the song came off as strange but oddly captivating but I couldn't stop listening to it, especially as a 12 year old living through the immediate post-9/11 NYC world. Fast forward to around 2020 when I was doing all kinds of random Spotify deep dives on different artists and I found it again, listening to it through similarly eerie times during the peak of the "empty roads" period that spring. It remains in my regular rotation now for sure.

Summed up my experience with linkin park exactly. Although I did find cure for the itch quite captivating just based off its peculiarity

@@ChrisSl8 yeah, I get what you are saying about Cure for the itch, it has an uncanny strange vibe to it that ,for me, depends on the day wether I absolutely love or just want to skip. But it's pretty mesmerizing tbh.

I dont know man, RYM used to hate HT religiously and calling them corny (and I love LP)

Yep

Thank you, I was just trying to remember that line and couldn't get past 'good gracious'. I'm partial to the Happy Mondays opener "Son, I'm 30. I only went with your mother cos she's dirty."

Yeah music subjective as hell. I don't give a shit if people get into the intricacies and nuances of what makes music good, because you could do that with any music.

I love that wild unplugged string part in Nu Guns.

God I really want his name to be Mudd Johnson. I don’t actually know what it is, but I’ll be damned if that man shouldn’t go to his grave with the name “Mudd Johnson” permanently attached to him.

His name is Wes Scantlin, uncultured swine

@@Number_6ix Considering the antics Wes Scantlin has been up to starting back in this era and never stopping, I think he'd probably prefer to be able to go somewhere as Mudd Johnson too.

I totally agree with your last sentence, both songs are amazing.

YES. Dilemma was played out to the point of near torture

Whole different song sample man. Killer track tho.

I wrote all that out just to be flat out confusing it with the other catchy ass song about distance by a female singer from this era. I’ll take this L

I am actually incorrect I was thinking bout "one thousand miles" mb dudes right

So I think we both take an L on this one lol

Ok but just to confirm. My original comment is correct then lol?
