This is how I would personally rank the 2000s years in order of best to worse. In all honesty, i'm generally not a fan of 2000s music, however I do have a preference as to which years I prefer over others. 1. 2001 2. 2000 3. 2003 4. 2007 5. 2004 6. 2008 7. 2005 8. 2002 9. 2009 10. 2006 The release of System of a Down's Toxicity, as well as "Hanging By a Moment", "Where's You Head At?", "Smooth Criminal" and "The Middle", is enough for me to personally consider 2001 to be my favourite year for music in the 2000s.

2006 I really feel is over hated IMO.
Regardless of how you feel about the songs I list below, you can't deny they have strong lyrical content, are made with passion, and aren't made to be pop cash grabs. Yes, 2006 had many of those, but no more than pretty much every other year of the 00s, especially the garbage of 2008 and 2009.

Because of this, it was just not a fun experience following the pop charts at the time. In 2006, we had to suffer through crap like this: Even though Nelly Furtado's Loose was one of the best pop albums of the decade, the decent slew of strong hits from 2006 simply weren't enough to save the year's overall record from all the unlistenable garbage surrounding them. In most years, there would be maybe one or two big hits that I just flat-out dislike, but in 2006, there were really far too many to count. I was 13 and 14 that year, so the music that year should have defined me, but in actuality, I barely have any recollection of the year's top hits at all because I absolutely avoided the radio like the plague while my contemporaries in Europe got to enjoy mostly good songs without all the worst stuff from America accompanying them.

In 2006, the number one song was "Bad Day" from Daniel Powter, which while not my personal cup of tea is at least a decent song, and at least the top song for 2006 isn't some terrible party rap song. In 2008 and 2009, the top songs are "Low" from Flo Rida and "Boom Boom Pow" from Black Eyed Peas respectively, both of those are terrible party rap songs. Also, the 2008 and 2009 billboards feel far more abundant with party pop/rap hits than 2006 does. There's little to nothing outside of dance pop and rap on the 2008 and 2009 billboards, but there are plenty on the 2006 billboard. Also, 2006 had a far larger number of great songs with passionate lyrics, like the ones I listed above, than most other years of the 00s, especially 2008 and 2009.

There's little to nothing outside of dance pop and rap on the 2008 and 2009 billboards, but there are plenty on the 2006 billboard. At least the lowbrow kitsch of 2009 was, for the most part, musical. Most songs were at least upbeat and fun to dance to, even with a few heavy stinkers like "Break Up" and "Diva." It was such a relief to finally see the end of the snap music movement that year and instead hear much more of stuff closer to what I wish was popular here in 2005-2008. 2008, on the other hand, I actually agree with being worse than 2006, and that's because not only was the unlistenable garbage still on the radio, there weren't nearly as many really good hit songs that year as there were in 2005, 2006, and 2007, so there's hardly any reason to the return to the year whatsoever. Actually, more than ever, pop rock was flat-out lousy in 2008. Between "Rockstar," "Stop and Stare," "Realize," "Say," "When You Look Me in the Eyes," "Thunder," "You Found Me," "Sorry," "Pictures of You," and "Gotta Be Somebody," plus a fair slew of mediocre pop rock songs from the UK, 2008 set quite a new bar for formulaic dirge. The r&b songs weren't really any better, either. "No Air?" "Better in Time?" "Touch My Body?" "Leavin'?" "Suffocate?" "Take a Bow?" "Tattoo?" "Sweetest Girl?" "The Way That I Love You?" Yawn... '08 had no shortage of painful crap, either. Among the worst hits of the year: This was a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine at first, but now it just puts me off big time. A big chunk of that is how unlikeable Kid Rock is, but the whole thing is just a cheesy knock off of "Werewolves of London." These are all horrible, horrible songs. I'm not usually able to list this many downright horrific songs that were big hits in a single year, at least not prior to the mid/late-2010s.

I agree with you and RockyMountainExtreme that 2008 was a really mediocre year for music in the United States. With the exception of "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon (which apparently, wasn't even a big hit in the US), I honestly can't think of any American songs that I like from that year.

I've browsed through the UK Top-100 charts from 2008 and I agree that most of the pop rock songs from the UK weren't particularly great. I know EyewitnessTV won't like me saying this, but "That's Not My Name" by Ting Tings would have to be my favourite UK pop rock song from that year. "Dream Catch Me" by Newton Faulkner isn't too bad either, although my appreciation of it only started in recent months. I wasn't actually a fan of it when it came out, but that's namely because of how overplayed it was (at least over here. It wasn't a hit in the US). I know I sound like a broken record by referencing Australian music so often, but I personally believe that the best rock songs of 2008 came from Australia. The songs below all achieved Top-40 success. I would definitely suggest giving these songs a listen: ^ The music video of this song is on YouTube, however since it was uploaded at the time of the song's release, the overall quality of the video isn't too good.

2001 > 2002 > 2007 > 2004 > 2003 > 2006 > 2008 > 2000 > 2005 > 2009
I don't personally like the year 2000 in terms of music that much as I can't really recall many songs I've found really standing out to me from that year. In general it falls really flat to me in comparison to the quite iconic 1999 and 2001 which is loaded with fantastic stuff.
Maybe 2009 is hurt by fact I was starting to get critical in why certain songs got big the way they did, but even to this day I don't particularly like most of the songs of that year and is fairly colorless in comparison to the 2011-2013 era.

I know this is an old post now, but was "Swing" actually a Top-40 hit over in the US? That really surprises me, to be honest, because Savage is a New Zealand hip-hop artist and with the exception of that song, he has only ever achieved success here in Oceania. Also, it's interesting that "Swing" achieved success in the US in 2008; it was a hit in Australia and New Zealand back in 2005. Maybe 2009 is hurt by fact I was starting to get critical in why certain songs got big the way they did, but even to this day I don't particularly like most of the songs of that year and is fairly colorless in comparison to the 2011-2013 era. I can relate. 2009 was actually the first year where I can remember thinking that music had gone downhill, even though I was only 10 at the time. Rock was so evidently on it's last legs (which was something that I first started to pick up on back in Mid 2008) and the electropop/dance songs that emerged on the charts never took my interest at all. Honestly, there's only two songs from 2009 that I can think of which I actually like.
