06.10.19 | This one more than ever seems filled to the brim with guilty pleasures.
The most bitch basic of the lists...but then it was the decade of a lot of bitch basic'ness, and sometimes that's alright. |
luci
06.10.19 | yeah this decade is weaker for rock than the ones its between. great pick for #1 |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | luci - I was relieved when I remembered 'Nothing Ever Happened', none of my next five picks I really wanted to call 'my favourite rock song of the 00s'. That title fits that tune fine though. |
zakalwe
06.10.19 | Nice Dino inclusions |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | Zak - really struggled finding enough candidates for this list, there was definitely something up with the 00s |

06.10.19 | Everything that needed to be said and done had been said and done but now ‘the man’ really was interfering and getting involved. Fucking awful decade and things haven’t improved. |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | Things have improved a bit, in that things have just splintered apart entirely so 'the man' has little influence on my listening - the mainstream has become the niche part of my listening now. But the collective experience of music still appears to be mortally wounded/compromised.
The list I put up for the 10s had less 'rock genre' inclusions than here but more attitude for the most part. Part of that is down to me listening to more obscure stuff every week these last few years but I'm not sure that's completely it. |
zakalwe
06.10.19 | Still yet to disagree with you on anything except The Smiths and a few rare odds and sods. Mental innit |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | We agree on all the important ones...except The Smiths...and The The ;D |
Pikazilla
06.10.19 | I dig most of these! Arcade Fire and Bloc Party though... fuck. |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | I've finally won over Pika...I think. |
Pikazilla
06.10.19 | The question is, what happened in the 10s lol. That list is nearly 0/50 for me ):
For this list and the 0s one, I dig like 40-45 songs in each. |

06.10.19 | Rock near enough died for me. A lot of the big bands or big albums I don't really enjoy - not massive on the QOTSA material released in the 10s, or the new AIC stuff, or bands like Ghost...
Look at the charts here for the 10s, lots of extreme metal, metalcore, doom - not a lot of rock or 'less extreme metal'. |
SitarHero
06.10.19 | ^Nothing on my '10s list strike your fancy? |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | I'll check some of your picks out - and I definitely like some of the stuff on it like Elder
Not a fan of Thank You Scientist though |
SitarHero
06.10.19 | Definitely check out Moon Tooth, Dead Sara, Royal Thunder and Butch Walker. I feel like they have the kind of rawness that you seem to appreciate. |
DoofDoof
06.10.19 | Thanks Sitar - they're on the check list |
Yotimi
06.11.19 | 1 and 6 for sure |
Yotimi
06.11.19 | Fugazi?? |
DoofDoof
06.11.19 | Yotimi - good shout, Full Disclosure should be up there |
PyramidNoise
06.11.19 | 37 is underrated as fuck. Glad to see it on this list. |
