Top 10 Best Songs of the 2000s

very inspiring song, by a genius rapper, I like this song very much it deserves to be in the top 10

This song should be number One it is so inspiring when I feel like giving up I listen to it... I feel like I can do anything!

Eminem's best. arguably the best so far - batman360

The best rap rock song of all time - Th3Zm0nst3r

This song deserves the top place. Coldplay really knew what they were doing when they wrote this.

I like this song, but The Scientist will always be my favorite. Great lyrics.

Coldplay puts electronic music to shame with their use of an orchestra in "Viva la Vida."

After seeing this song on this list I think it's time I took some cyanide pills

This song proves anyone who thinks the only people who listen to Eminem are drugged-up whiteys don't understand rap. Rap is an art. Art is constantly developing. YES, Nas, Pac, Big, Rakim, NWA, and Public Enemy came before him. But he took rap to a level past anyone else. One of the greatest songs off of one of the greatest albums. Argument over.

This superb song is about the conversation of Eminem's fan (Stan) and Eminem! The lyrics are awesome!

The Dido sample and the lyrics are some of the greatest of all time.

I can't remember how many times I listened to this song, so I'm glad is in the third spot. Just a smooth smooth track...

Heard in Soundtrack to Ella Enchanted (2004). - playstationfan66

1 2 3 uh!

This is one of the best bands of the 2000s and this is there break through single. They basically brought back garage rock into the rock mainstream

I used to hate rock. But after I listened to this, my whole perspective was changed.

Simple but amazing. Seriously I can play this song behind my back while sitting down but I get more feel from it that songs like "Smooth", "Everlong" and "Californication(which is also very simple).

Yes I am still listening to most of these songs in 2012 as well.. These songs are way better than the stuff they produce now-a-days.. In the end has got to be the one I have listened to the most.. But I wish I could vote for multiple songs! And what the hell is ke$ha doing on this list?!

Now I know that this list is crap cause this song is better than most of the songs on here. And why isn't lose yourself number 1

Should be above boulevard of broken dreams

Should be in top 3 positions

Such an amazing song, should be higher up.

Best hit song of all time.

Best hit song of all time,why isn't this #1?

When I first heard this song, I thought it was in old song. It sounded like an old R&B song. The music video's awesome too!

OneRepublic is that band that doesn't get enough credit, the band that sings all the best songs that you never bothered to look up the artist of. Recognize any? Apologize, Secrets, Stop and Stare, All the Right Moves, Feel Again. Those are just a few! OneRepublic is the best band that nobody's heard of, yet everone knows at least one song by.

One of the rare '00s songs that can compete with old classics when it comes to sincerely "beautiful" songs.

I rarely do listen to OR, but it's a memorable song. Still remember the lyrics after 8 years or so. - ArAn

OR are overshadowed by Coldplay (who I also like).

THis song has the piano playing to start the song. This song is the highlight of their career. This is the greatest song by them. This is better than Viva La Vida.

It's really frustrating for me to see this above "The Scientist".but it's still a good song though

The piano riff in the beginning is iconic, the lyrics are deep; the song couldn't get any better.

This just slightly beats Viva La Vida as the BEST SONG OF ALL TIME!

Although Jay z is a disgrace To Hip Hop This Song Is Awesome

The strokes are the best!

Coldplay is so overrated. The Strokes DEFINE music. There's absolutely no competition. period. - PeterG28

The best thing about this track is that it ain't depressing whatsoever. Once you hear this song you'll have a smile on your face.
