Best Western bands’ classic and hit songs from the 2000s (31–40)
Don’t Look Back Into The SunThe Libertines
The Libertines are a garage rock band from London.
I clearly remember how they were promoted as the Clash of the 2000s.
They debuted in 2002, and it was shocking when they broke up at high speed about two years later, but they reunited in 2010.
Tears Don’t FallBullet For My Valentine
Bullet For My Valentine is a post-hardcore band that emerged during the emo and screamo boom of the 2000s.
This track, one of the popular songs from their 2005 debut album, is a piece that tightly encapsulates their musical style.
Take Me OutFranz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand is a popular dance-rock band from Glasgow, Scotland.
Sorry if this sounds a bit blunt, but their so-bad-it’s-cool vibe is the secret to their appeal.
With their danceable, pop-leaning sound, they’re loved as a band you can really move to.
Seven Nation ArmyThe White Stripes
Jack White and Meg White, the sibling duo and bass-less band The White Stripes.
There was a movement at the time called the garage revival, and they stood out prominently within it.
When it comes to their signature songs, it has to be Seven Nation Army!
This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms RaceFall Out Boy
A song by Fall Out Boy, one of the most popular pop-punk bands that debuted in the 2000s.
Featured on their third album, Infinity on High, it immediately grabs your ear from the opening with a simple yet tight arrangement built on a hooky, chromatic melody and an off-beat rhythm.
In contrast, the chorus shifts the mood with a driving feel and catchy melody that instantly ramps up the energy.
It’s a track that showcases the band’s high potential, maintaining pop appeal even amid complex beat changes.
