Nothing takes you back in time quite like hearing an angsty song that instantly floods your head with memories of jamming out on your HitClips on the way to school or through your stereo system in your bedroom with your friends. I've recently re-discovered some of my old favorites from the Early 2000's that I think deserve a comeback. Check out some of the best songs from the era that you may have forgotten about, too:
1. "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by Nine Days (2000)
Don't even pretend you don't remember all the words.
2. "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard (2003)
So much angst, so little time.
3. "Suga Suga" by Baby Bash and Frankie J (2003)
So groovy!
4. "Shake It" by Metro Station (2007)
Remember when Miley Cyrus's and Mitchell Musso's brothers made a band? Look! It's still a thing!
5. "Just the Girl" by The Click Five (2005)
Don't lie, we all wanted to be that girl.
6. "Juliet" by LMNT (2001)
Go ahead, clap along.
7. "The Rock Show" by blink-182 (2001)
Did I mention the angst?
8. "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World (2001)
An anthem, honestly.
9. "Summer Girls" by LFO (1999)
Never heard of LFO? Yeah, me either. Give it a listen (and a laugh), anyway.
10. "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne (2003)
What would this list even be without this true classic?
