Jesus Christ, how did people live through pop music in 2000?

The late 1990s thru early 2000s must surely be one of the most musically bankrupt periods in history. That might just be my projecting my shitty memories of middle school onto the music of that time, but then again... VERTICAL HORIZON.

For the record I still like "Country Grammar."

The late 1990s thru early 2000s must surely be one of the most musically bankrupt periods in history.

no WAY! it's totally my golden age. 90% of the songs mentioned on this thread are awesome.
