Way too little hip-hop/urban pop(which completely dominated the '00s), and a lot of those songs will be more associated with the late '00s/early '10s than exclusively '00s. I'm guessing you're going to start listing songs from '11 and '12 in the '00s section too huh.

Last I checked 2008 and 2009 was still the '00s and the songs from those years are 100% '00s songs.  The late '00s had the most memorable songs and also the ones people will still be jamming to 20 years from now.  I can't really see people in 2025 jamming out to songs like "Crank Dat Soulja Boy" but I can see "Bad Romance" being played at parties for decades to come.

I have never even heard of the songs I used a bold typeface on in your list above. Likewise, I don't believe any of those songs could be considered timeless. Timeless songs are songs which have been popular for at least fifty years in my opinion.

It's way too early to call anything from the 2000s "timeless". But I highly doubt that anything by Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift is going to wind up being seen that way, kind of the opposite actually in 25 years I bet Miley Cyrus will have joined the likes of Jessica Simpson, All Saints, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, and Melanie in the forgotten teenybopper pile.

Some songs I would list:

1. Yeah - Usher
2. Crazy In Love - Beyonce
3. Complicated - Avril Lavigne
4. Poker Face - Lady GaGa
5. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
6. In Da Club - 50 Cent
7. Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
8. Foolish - Ashanti
9. Survivor - Destiny's Child
10. My Love - Justin Timberlake
11. Goodies - Ciara
12. Lose Yourself - Eminem
13. Work It - Missy Elliott
14. Hey Ya - Outkast
15. I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
16. Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne
17. Fallin' - Alicia Keys
18. Toxic - Britney Spears
19. Baby Boy - Beyonce
20. Get The Party Stated - Pink

Your list is very narrow and overwhelmingly geared towards to very end of the decade, the style of music of songs like Bad Romance would likely be more associated with the early '10s(electro-house, dance pop, ect), what's so hard to understand about that? The most prevalent style of music in the '00s was hip-hop and urban pop(it centered around '03-'07 esp.) which I think you intentionally underrepresented in your list.

Some songs I would list:

1. Yeah - Usher
2. Crazy In Love - Beyonce
3. Complicated - Avril Lavigne
4. Poker Face - Lady GaGa
5. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
6. In Da Club - 50 Cent
7. Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day

20. Get The Party Stated - Pink


All these bolded songs sound kinda old now.  :D I do like many of them though actually.

What songs of the \'00s would you consider timeless?  What songs will people 40 years from now be listening to to exemplify the \'00s?  Here is my list.

1. Lady Gaga - Poker Face
2. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
3. Eminem - Lose Yourself
4. Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway
5. Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
6. Ke$ha - Tik Tok
7. Jay-Z feat Alecia Keys - Empire State of Mind
8. Rihanna - Umbrella
9. Rihanna feat T.I. - Live Your Life
10. Kanye West - Gold Digger
11. N\'Sync - Bye Bye Bye
12. Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
13. Miley Cyrus - Party In the USA
14. Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me
15. Lady Gaga - Just Dance


I don\'t think the \'00s will end up being \"exemplified\" by any of these except for maybe 3, 4, and 10.

Most of these songs were from the late 00\'s. I would add:

50 Cent - In Da Club
Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
Black Eyed Peas - Lets Get It Started
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
Pussycat Dolls - Don\'t Cha
The Killers - Somebody Told Me
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.



I removed the ones I doubt, and its \"Gorillaz\" not \"The Gorillaz\". Gwen Stefani is a maybe only, who will possibly get associated with the 90s for No Doubt. Even today, I find very little mention of Pussycat Dolls, even on boards like this one.

Last I checked 2008 and 2009 was still the \'00s and the songs from those years are 100% \'00s songs.  The late \'00s had the most memorable songs and also the ones people will still be jamming to 20 years from now.  I can\'t really see people in 2025 jamming out to songs like \"Crank Dat Soulja Boy\" but I can see \"Bad Romance\" being played at parties for decades to come.


The late \'00s may only have more memorable songs to you, because it is fresher in your mind. Just like in 2002, a lot of late \'90s music was fresher in people\'s minds than other \'90s music.

It\'s way too early to call anything from the 2000s \"timeless\". But I highly doubt that anything by Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift is going to wind up being seen that way, kind of the opposite actually in 25 years I bet Miley Cyrus will have joined the likes of Jessica Simpson, All Saints, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, and Melanie in the forgotten teenybopper pile.


The \'00s may need more time to be \"timeless\" but he\'s talking about in many years to come. The \'00s also had more to offer than teenyboppers. Marc Anthony for example.

Some songs I would list:

2. Crazy In Love - Beyonce
5. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
6. In Da Club - 50 Cent
10. My Love - Justin Timberlake
11. Goodies - Ciara
12. Lose Yourself - Eminem
14. Hey Ya - Outkast


Remove a lot of doubt from your list. Some that I left only look like maybe situations.

I don\'t think the \'00s will end up being \"exemplified\" by any of these except for maybe 3, 4, and 10.

Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River
Nelly Furtado - I'm Like A Bird
50 Cent - In Da Club
Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
Usher - Yeah!
Black Eyed Peas - Lets Get It Started

50 Cent - In Da Club
Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
Black Eyed Peas - Lets Get It Started

Maybe to these ones.

I don't really think any of them are timeless, but the ones that I remember most:

Beyonce - Crazy In Love
Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway
Justin Timberlake - SexyBack
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Daniel Powter - Bad Day
Maroon 5 - This Love
Britney Spears - Toxic
Sara Bareilles - Love Song

some of those songs are annoying as heck.  :D

I don't know about timeless for other people, but timeless for me...

MIKA - Grace Kelly!

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie

I'VE GONE IDENTITY MAD!!!!!!!!

I seriously wish I could megaphone that song in people's faces!

Since when did 2000's become equivalent to late 00's/early 10's? I will never remember 2000's like that. It's crazy how people are putting majority songs form 2008 and 2009 like that's all that represented the 2000's when that music isn't even significant or doesn't symbolize 2000's music at all. How about these for timeless songs of the 00's:
Yeah
In Da Club
Toxic
Oops
Don't Phunk With My Heart
Umbrella
Crazy in Love
Lose Yourself
Where Is The Love
She will Be loved
We Belong Together
Goodies
Promiscuous
Bad Day
You're Beutiful
Hey Ya
Ignition
My Humps

Pretty good list.  'My Humps' definitely is timeless and heavily representative of the mid 2000s era.  I don't see Toxic being timeless though.  I would replace it with Circus, Radar, or If You Seek Amy.

Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard is one, despite have lots of memories of 2004 with that song.

Since the early 2000s is apparently too far back for bchris to remember:

Flying Without Wings - Westlife (yes, it came out in 1999 but it was popular in 2000 and was basically everywhere when that 2000 Pokemon kids movie was in theaters)
Blue - All Rise

The only song from the '00s that's truly reached "timeless" status already is Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. Well, at least at sporting events that is.

Seriously, I think that song has already gotten played at more football games than Rock and Roll Part 2 ever did!

I think there's more but you do prove something: Which half of the decade was it released? That's right, the first half. It was a Billboard Modern Rock Tracks number-one song in 2003. The half of the decade that some people here are either too young to remember or have a convenient amnesia of.

Oh and it was 2004's Grammy Awards Best Rock Song. Even 2004 is the FIRST half of the decade.

Only time will tell.

My personal favorites:
Rihanna-SOS
Ciara-Like A Boy
Trick Daddy-Let's Go
Eminem-Without Me

I remember them being played often on the radio anyway.

I'm not entirely convinced that they'll be included on Rod Stewart's 'Great American Songbook - Volume whatever' by the time the 22nd century rolls around...

It may be me, but everything from the last 30+ years just sounds re-hashed...

I wouldn't say everything from the last 30 years is re-hashed. But I do think the current culture is a re-hash of everything from the last 30 years (if that makes sense).

I wouldn't say that either. I think music is pretty original right now, with grime and trap music, and electropop still reigning supreme. Of course, there are influences, but it's not a rehash.

The main ones I remember (not just recognize, but remember)
(not all were good...)


Bad Day - Daniel Powter
Crank Dat
One Thousand Miles
Hey Ya!
Hey There, Delilah
Sexyback
Since U Been Gone
Boulevard of Broken Dreams


I probably recognize most songs from them, but don't know them off the top of my head.

If I live that long, I will be remembering the songs of Amy Winehouse  :\'(

Songs with the most prominence in my memories from 2000-2009 were probably
1. Get The Party Started - P!nk
2. Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow
3. Since u Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
4. The Reason - Hoobastank
5. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
6. Beautiful - Christina Aguilera
7. Bad Day - Daniel Powter
6. Hey Ya! - OutKast
7. Hey There, Delilah - Plain White T's
8. Lose Yourself - Eminem
9. How to Save a Life - The Fray
10. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Which I think were mostly pop songs from then

Run by Snow Patrol is more memorable for me.

The op isn't even half of the timelessness in music the 2000s produced. Every year in the 2000s had at least 20 or even more timeless songs at the most. And that's only me trying to keep my bias chill. Haha

Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Eminem - Lose Yourself

Evanescence - Bring Me to Life
50 cent - In Da Club
Beyoncé - Crazy in Love
OutKast - Hey Ya!

I dunno, it did pretty poorly out of the US as a hit. Which severly hurts its status as a timeless classic IMHO.
