Albums from the 2000s

The 2000s were a curious cocktail of musical eras colliding, as file sharing sent record executives into a tailspin. Pop-punk and emo surged like a teenager's uncontrollable angst, whilst dance music saw the rise of DJs who switched from basement raves to festival headliners with alarming speed. Meanwhile, the proliferation of reality television turned the music scene into a launchpad for anyone with a decent set of pipes and a penchant for drama. Amidst all this, the iTunes revolution changed how we consumed music, ensuring that every disposable pop hit was just a click away.
