Favorites from 2000's

Some of the best songs of 2000s are from bands that melded punk rock with metal, and metal with rap. The latter half of the decade experimented more with electronic instruments and would eventually become the pop sound that we're so familiar with today. The decade is represented by amazing artists like Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy and more.
