(Finished December 10th, 2021) Part 1 of The Best of the First Eleven Years of This Century: 2000-2010

Hello,

Ah the 2000s, a decade known for 9/11, the 2008 financial crash, 2003's Iraq War, a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people. There's a growing awareness of climate change, which continues to escalate.

While there were some bad things those 11 years there were also a lot of great things. Things such as Harry Potter, "The Davinci Code" (opinions may vary), 

It was also the time that included Clint Eastwood's masterful "Million Dollar Baby" and that amazing performance by Hillary Swank. Also that was the year of "The Dark Knight" and "King Kong".

Obviously some of the songs of the decade are below. Some of the best CDs of that timeframe are Alicia Keys "Songs In A Minor", Ryan Adams "Gold", The New Pornographers "Electric Version", Sufjan Stevens "Illinois", Franz Ferdinand's self-titled CD, U2's "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb", Death Cab For Cutie's "Transatlanticism", Arctic Monkeys' "Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not", Green Day's masterclass "American Idiot", The White Stripes "White Blood Cells", Bruce Springsteen's best CD "The Rising" (you heard me), U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind", Arcade Fire's "Funeral" and The Strokes "This Is It". Expect to see several songs from the above CDs on here.

And yes I know 2000-2010 is actually 11 years, it's okay and just enjoy the music.

"Out in the streets they call it murder". 1) Damian Marley "Welcome To Jamrock":

2) Amy Winehouse "Back To Black":

(Started December 8th, 2021) I Heard The News Today Oh Boy, John Lennon Dead For 41 Years

Hello,

Forty one years ago, December 8th, 1980, John Lennon died at the hands of an assassin. He was only 40 years old. As my Mom astutely pointed out he has been dead longer than he was alive. I'm not the biggest Beatles or John Lennon as a solo artist fan. But still John Lennon, by himself and with others, created some very amazing songs. In all actuality I like John Lennon's post Beatles discography better than his work with the Beatles. 


The day after Lennon's death:


1) The Beatles "A Day In The Life":


2) John Lennon "Woman":


3) The Beatles "Nowhere Man":


4) The Beatles "I Am The Walrus":


5) The Beatles "Happiness Is A Warm Gun":


6) The Beatles  "Don't Let Me Down":


7) John Lennon "Working Class Hero":


8) The Beatles "Come Together":


9) The Beatles "Norwegian Wood (The Bird Has Flown)":


10) Lennon/Ono with the Plastic Ono Band "Instant Karma (We All Shine On)":


11) The Plastic Ono Band "Give Peace A Chance":


12) John Lennon "Jealous Guy":
13) "Whatever Gets You Through The Night":
14) "# 9 Dream":
15) "Imagine":
16) John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band. "Mind Games":


17) "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)":
18) John Lennon" Just Like (Starting Over)":
19) John Lennon "Watching The Wheels":


20) John Lennon "Nobody Told Me":
21) John Lennon "In My Life":


These are the three best tribute songs to John Lennon:

22) John Lennon "Empty Garden":
23) The Cranberries "I Just Shot John Lennon":
24) George Harrison's "All Those Years Ago":
