Wow, this was tough. In this golden age of music accessibility I spend most of my music listening time on YouTube streaming full albums from the past. For this list I tried my best to avoid stuff posted in previous 20-20 lists, so it ended up rap heavy. Enjoy? >
Youngbloodz - “Damn” (2003)
Korn - “Twisted Transistor” (2006)
Best music video of the era.
Three 6 Mafia - “Stay High”
Clean version (“Stay Fly”) is good too.
50 Cent - “In Da Club” (2003)
Dr. Dre makes just about anything good.
Iron Maiden - “When the Wild Wind Blows” (2010)
It is rare a band makes an epic song like this so late in their career.
Big Tymers - “Still Fly” (2002)
I could relate when it was released.
The Game - “Hate it or Love it”
Again, Dr. Dre makes just about anything good.
Earl Dibbles Jr. - “The Country Boy Song”
I don’t hate country music, just twang pop.
N.E.R.D. - “Lapdance”
Pharrell Williams only appearance on this list as a performer. He later appears as a producer.
Ludacris - “Get Back”
His best was already taken earlier, so here is a fun #2.
Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz - “Get Low” (2003)
On the 2003rd year of the lord, god gifith us the crunk.
Lil’ Kim - “Magic Stick”
Dr. Dre yadda yadda....
The Game - “Dreams”
First (only?) repeat artist on this list.
Justin Timberlake - “Rock Your Body” (2002)
Released in 2002, but it was massively played summer 2003, my most fun ever and this song takes me back. Pharrell wanted to give this to Michael Jackson who declined, his loss.
Britney Spears - “Toxic”
Two former Mousekateers in a row,
Black Eyed Peas - “Let’s get Retarded”
Sadly this song was quickly canceled.
Fall Out Boy - “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark”
I hated FOB until I heard this song live.
Nelly - “Tip Drill”
“ I said it must be ya ass cause it ain't ya face, I need a tipdrill, I need a tipdrill”
Puddle of Mudd - “Blurry”
I need less rap, maybe forced this one, but I like it.
