As a musician who plays cover songs at pubs, I can say that the nostalgia for the 2000's is at an all time high.

[@DomSr]

I agree since a more recent nostalgia always hits a little harder than more distant ones

[@alixander3129]

@@DomSr I think it's more about the age of the crowds, than the passage of time alone. Before I go farther, I'm American and I'm talking from American pov and our drinking laws. It's the people who were kids in the 2000s (specifically anyone born June 14, 2001 or earlier) are old enough to spend their nights in pubs, clubs and bars. So, pretty much everyone old enough to be out there has been alive for the release of these songs.

@DJ DaveRave aka Dave Gordon yep, “Say It Right” was such a good song! Can’t say I know her outside the hits, but they were solid.

[@marcus813]

I first found out about her from "I'm Like a Bird," so I knew about her before she worked with Timbaland.

While I have such a soft spot for 90s, the 00s was my college years and just after high school. This is where I find the most in music greatness. After that era, music started going in one direction instead of a variety.

[@CatsOverBrats]

I liked "Lonely" until the day the woman living downstairs had a fight with her boyfriend and decided to listen to that song on repeat for hours an entire afternoon. I was pretty tired of it when it started for the 15th time.

[@michaelrue1400]

The only place I've heard it is in compilations of songs that stole from other songs.

[@RyanS32]

The Calling had such a great album! I'd also like to add: Modest Mouse - Float On Train - Drops of Jupiter Orianthi - According To You Howie Day - Collide hellogoodbye - Here In Your Arms

[@amandaredd3057]

Unwell still touches something in me. I think everyone has low moments where, if we can manage to, we have to remind ourselves that things will get better. I love the lyrics

[@mercedesdrake9113]

i absolutely have not forgotten Everywhere, Shake It, Gotta get through this, Pieces of me, Hero/heroine, These words, Its been a while, & Ocean avenue these songs are still amazing

'Hanging by a moment' by Lifehouse is pretty timeless. ...Mandy Moore wrote 'Crush!' Never made that connection.

And I also just can't forget how long it took me in times pre Shazam/Smartphones to find Take Me Out! I heard that song infrequently, not often enough to catch lyrics, but always liked it, but could never find it. Only learned name and artist much later by pure chance (I was drving somewhere, we took a break in a McDonalds, it played on the TV there)... The fact that it's basically two songs in one made it even harder to find. Aaaah, the memories!! 😍
