Top 25 Songs of the Millenium (So Far) [Part 3/5]



This is part 3 of my article about the best songs that have come out in this millennium so far. Here we go!

Part 2 Can Be Found Here

#15
Song: Freur Frei
Artist: Rammstein
Peak Position: Germany #33



This song is intense. It doesn't let go except for one brief pause, and that is only to link you to the final epic finale that features blasting guitars, loud drumwork, and cannons. Yes, cannons. This song can be your coffee.


#14
Song: The Hardest Button to Button
Artist: The White Stripes
Peak Position: #8 Modern Rock



It is such a simple sound, but it is so catchy it lingers in your head for several hours. The song about a dysfunctional family works perfectly with White Stripes, a dysfunctional duo that features no bass, a drummer with no experience, and no extra member to enhance the sound. Yet----it still sounds better than music with bands full of members. I am looking at you, Maroon 5.


#13
Song: Bombs Over Baghdad
Artist: OutKast
Peak Position: #61 U.K. Singles



This is OutKast at its most experimental, its most off-the-wall, and its most insane. This mesh of rap, rock, jungle, and even gospel (I know...can't explain it) runs at about 924835939 beats per minute, and to this day contains one of the best beats ever heard in the hip-hop community.


#12
Song: Diablo Rojo
Artist: Rodrigo y Gabriella
Peak Position: n/a



No lyrics required, this song is about a roller coaster and plays like one for sure. The dueling Spanish guitar work of this duo is a sight to behold, and an absolute pleasure on the ears. Spanish guitar has never sounded so beautifully rampant.


#11
Song: Married Life
Artist: Michael Giaccino
Peak Position: n/a



This beautiful song complements one of the most beautifully animated scenes in the history of film. The 4 minutes of this gem showcases the entire marriage of two characters through the good, the bad, and the very unfortunate ending. Makes you smile, and then makes you cry all in a span of a car commercial. *snif* Curse these onions....


Part 4 is coming up soon...........I promise...
