Best of the best of the 2000s

I'm on a quest to prove good music exists in this millennium! Post your favorite music from 2000 to date

I have a small request with this thread. I don't frequent the music threads often because I'm not inclined to click on a video unless I'm given a reason to click on it. I also enjoy discussing music and would like this to be a part discussion/part music thread. So if you could, maybe provide a small description of why you enjoy what you're posting, or a memory it sparks or an emotion it brings to the surface. Does it give you those glorious goosebumps a really good song will sometimes give? Let us know!
Not a requirement, but a friendly suggestion

Most of my contributions to the thread will probably be Tiny Desk concerts lol. They give artists a chance to display their raw talent without much production.
Run the Jewels is one of the best hip hop groups of the 2000s IMO

J Mascis (love this song )

2000s means Rhi Rhi

This is my favourite Rihanna song, you need proper speakers though, not headphones for that full african drum feel

[Youfreeme]

You would say that she has man eyes.

[Vanilla Gorilla]

And a star trek forehead

I like to call it a 5 head. I wouldn't have noticed that tho.

Evanescence - Bring me to Life from the Fallen album

[Youfreeme]

oh man is this video ever a throw back

TOOL - Lateralus

I've always enjoyed Rock Epics and the drummer here is my favorite living. The lyrics discuss themes of transcendence and spirituality, unique for Metal and as I came to learn about a half decade after first hearing it, influenced by the Fibonacci sequence, which the singer uses as syllabic structure for the verses. Was amazing with an extreme amount of synesthesia when I saw them live on 4-aco-dmt + MDMA.

Shpongle - Star Shpongled Banner

Really psychedelic and I got into them relatively early on so they felt like "my band". I met a few people from HF to catch DJ sets and live Shpongle.

In 2004 I was very bereft because I listened to a lot of classic rock and I didn't think anyone in my generation was doing anything comparable to music from the late 60s through the 70s. Then one day I was about to go to class and this song came on NPR and I was SHOOK. I ended up skipping class and exploring his catalog haha (I had my priorities straight back then)

Bright Eyes - Landlocked Blues

[Audiogen]

Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart (Live Session)

Like throwing Pink Floyd and Otis Redding into a musical blender.

i dig it

I first heard Valerie June while at a music store. The owner was playing her album Pushin' Against A Stone over the store speakers, and I'm like, "Damn!" So I asked about it and bought it that day. I'd like to see her someday playing at a small venue in Nashville or Memphis. Wikipedia describes her sound as "a mixture of folk, blues, gospel, soul, country, Appalachian and bluegrass." She'll be playing at the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival on September 25th in Franklin, TN if anyone would like to go.
