Wow, I've waited 22 years to form an opinion on these songs.. But now I have! Thanks, Melon!
"2001 Was Pretty Good"
This one just writes itself
Dude I didn’t even click on the video and I already knew the comment section would be horrible 😂
Fantano did 9/11 confirmed.
We deserved it.
✈🔥🏙
I don't know why you sighted "The Towers" as being why 2001 was so good, that's highly disrespectful Anthony
If only navs uncle hadn’t blown them up 😞
Roach Dogg Jr forever
@@DoofusManBoy My brother
HAHA FUNNY COMMENT SAY THING HE NOT SAY IN VIDEO xDD
I know you didn't just write "cited" as "sighted", right?
Let Me Blow Ya Mind is easily one of the most fire track of the 00s
So true. Too bad Central Cee decided to sample it for his "Doja" song. Also, a lot of people comparing it to Among Us...
maroon 5-ing is a new word that I've just learned today
cant wait for ''1933 was mid''
“1836 had some bangers”
"The production on this Al Jolson track is ass even by 1933 standards, but I can't help but admire his blackface performance. A-tier"
“Rating top ten singles from the 16th century”
"1945 was boring"
@@Alex-km7so Your laughing but the 1830's was a pivotal moment for hip-hop
I agree, 2001 was pretty good. I can't think of one bad thing that happened that year 😊
Nickelback releasing their breakout album on September 11th of 2001 brings back great memories.
An attack on the Pentagon was scuppered. That was a tragedy
They Might Be Giants album “Mink Car” released on September 11th, 2001 is both a hit and miss. Not their best work but has some good tunes on there.
Don't forget Jay-Z's influential classic The Blueprint, also released on September 11th, 2001! Must have been a great day with so much good music released!
Why didn't Disney's Turning Red feature Nickelback? It seems disingenuous to not at least reference the disastrous effect they had on Western culture.
I can't believe "So Fresh, So Clean" hasn't made it into the Top 10 of that year, but than again I'm often surprised by those billboard charts.
So fresh, so clean was the 94th biggest song of 2001. OutKast reached the peak of popularity in 2003-04 though with hey ya and the way you move.
@Max Bolon Yeah. I was very surprised when I looked through the charts. Big song in our clique back then but that's apparently just us. At least they'll get to the top with Hey Ya (although my fav song from the double LP was Roses).
Thankfully Ja Rule was able to overcome his mediocre singing and rapping ability by being a world-class concert promoter.
The good ending
Fyre comment
We got to figure how to dig ourselves out of this fraud
Can we appreciate the way Anthony sings some of these songs out load to remind us what they sound like?
It’s a shame he didn’t sing Janet tho
He should do this every time
Yeah especially for us that were in like elementary school at the time I don't know these songs based off the artist or song name but I'll instantly recognize when I hear it
He should play brief distorted clips at the very least. I stopped watching this series because of that, but gave it another chance with this one. Probably won't make that mistake again. If he did the karaoke for every track, it would've been worthwhile. Otherwise.... meh.
@@GizzyDillespee you could just searched them by yourself if you don't know them. Stop being lazy
Sometimes I need reminding so I can go: "Oh yeeeeah! Now I remember!"
him putting Fallin' not only in C tier but underneath a Train song is making me unreasonably angry
Not unreasonable at all
Can relate but in his defense, he rated it in comparison to her later songs, at least that’s what it looks like to me.
“a train song” because the artist is more important than the song…?
It has to be an s tier imo
Putting Train's 'Drops of Jupiter', and even Lifehouse's 'Hanging by a Moment', on par with/above Fallin' is such a wild decision for someone who rates a diverse selection of music for a living.
I already saw the 9/11 jokes coming before I even clicked on the video
Too bad they couldn't see the planes coming in time 😐
Ja Rule’s secret to success was riding the coattails of DMX’s success
Or J.Lo
Hanging by a Moment is one of those songs that sneaks into my consciousness around random times if the year.
Don’t forget it’s classics week Mr. Anthony Fantano
I'm not sure why you didn't bring up the tragic event that happened on September 11th 2001. I know it's the elephant in the room, and nobody wants to talk about it because it was such a horrific event, but that doesn't mean we should forget the date when Nickleback released their first album.
People who say this are such jerks! I’ll have you know P.O.D worked their asses off on Satellite. How do you think they feel when Nickelback get to be the punchline every single time? You comedians never think about how your little jokes can hurt the feelings of others. It’s disgusting!
😂😂😂
third album*
Third album
don't forget about The Blueprint by Jay-Z! I will never forget this day
Melon talking about Lifehouse. Never expected that.
MJ's You rock my world came out that year too!
Watching these as a matchbox 20 stan is tough but understandable
Independent Women Pt 1 - A
Again - D
Thank You - S
Let Me Blow Ya Mind - S
If You're Gone -D
I'm Real - C
Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) - C - Melon's assessment of B level writing but E level vibes is SO ACCURATE
All for You - C
Fallin' - B
Hanging By a Moment - C
2001 was the year the cinematic masterpiece Freddy Got Fingered was released. That's all you need to know.
I would have expected "Love Don't Cost a Thing" to have been more successful than "I'm Real"
Not a fan of the band, but I'm pretty blown away that How You Remind Me by Nickelback wasn't on this list given how popular it was
Next Time.
hero cuz friggen Spider-Man was huge
It's number 1 song on 2002
Wait till 2002 comes along buddy
Oh man I loved this song
Alicia Keys' Fallin' is S Tier bruh
'All for You' is to this day one of my favorite Janet songs. It was literally on my top 100 played songs for 2022 playlist lmao. Idk what it is about it but I LOVE that song.
It's S tier imo. One of the catchiest and nicest pop songs made
Real
my husband and i sing to our dog wally with this song "ALL THE GIRLS AT THE PARTY LOOKIN AT WALLY"
Seriously … S for me and so many people I know … Anthony needed to put it at A at least
All my girls at the party look at that body shaking that thing like you never did see ☺got a nice package alright 🤩gonna have to ride it tonight 🤠
For Christmas my mother asked me what music my fiancee liked and I had mentioned she really liked Maroon 5. On Christmas Day my parents informed me they made an error when purchasing a gift for us. My gal and I will be proudly attending a Matchbox 20 concert in July 💀
Matchbox 20 is way better imo
Matchbox 20 is WAY better
how was it?
@@hamflavoredlipbalm6077 it was fun! Brutally hot in the amphitheater. Matt Nathanson opened and it was decent, the average age of the crowd was probably 38 😂 I guess it was a concert originally slated for 2020 but was cancelled, so it was packed. Unfortunately, half an hour in we got hit with a brutal storm so the show was paused for about 50 minutes, really killed the momentum. However they did resume for another 50 and virtually the entire crowd came back and got into it even though we lost about 40 minutes of the concert. Rob Thomas is a great singer and performer and the crowd was completely invested so overall my fiancée and I had a nice time. Very odd experience since it was mostly millennials reliving their musical roots but it was nice to see people enjoying themselves!
So happy to see Dido getting that well deserved S Rank.
Let me blow your mind and Fallin being that low is a bad take.
Eve's song still gets everybody hype in rnb/hip hop clubs and Fallin is iconic, instantaneously gets everybody singing along.
Both are minimum A.
I get the let me blow your mind take but yeah I agree Fallin should be higher than that. So it's not a best song or better than If I ain't Got You or No One or My Boo, that's more of a testament to how much better she got as an artist. Fallin's production ain't the best but I think her vocals and the writing is enough to put it at A
"People like this thing therefore you should like it"
Agreed both terrific songs😊
Gwen Stefani and EVE was the best rap/rock crossover at that time, hands down. That song pops off everything from the flow, the chorus, the funky instrumental, and the fits they wore in the video were peak 2001 fashion lookin like King of Fighters characters
Wish that stupid doja song
Didn’t ruin it
React to the Rolling Stone 200 best vocalists list!!! Wanna see your takes on that
They should've just left Ashanti on I'm Real.
Whoops, they did 😂😂😂
LMAOOOOOO 😩😩😩 that wasn't the only track either lol this doesn't get talked about enough
That would've S tier
@@danifrommidsommar8653 😂😂😂😂 I know! Her vocals are all over the backing of the track. J-Lo is nothing but a damn thief!
2001 gave us Is This It and Discovery. That year will forever be goated.
ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN
W take
And one of the greatest metal album, Toxicity
Leaves Turn Inside You, Since I Left You and Confield also dropped. Solid year for music
As a Destiny’s Child STAN and as a child from a low income household, I remember dreaming of the day I would live what the ladies were singing about in Independent Woman Part 1. 21 years later, the song is a life anthem for me that I live by daily!!! Forever a timeless classic.
Don't know why but I need a Caroline Polachek cover of Dido's thank you
Fantano the type of guy to release a video called "2001 was a good year"
Wow haven’t seen you since last year, welcome back!
Is This It by The Strokes came out this year. That's all we need to know to know it's great.
Only reason i clicked on the video
Don’t forget Jay-Z’s Blueprint and Daft Punk’s Discovery.
@@farimer1232 Björk's Vespertine and the Gorillaz debut too. Crazy good year for music
@@maxvermeij1779 And White Stripes White Blood Cells and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (sorta)
@@farimer1232 Lateralus, Amnesiac, Origin of Symmetry, The Glow Pt.2
Loved your rendition of hanging by a moment at the start
It gave me so much joy! 😊
I have never seen someone be so wrong about Fallin by Alicia Keys lol
It may not be her best song but it doesn't need to be. On its own, I get his issues with the production but vocally and lyrically it's enough to put it at like B or even A tier
I agree with him that it's not 'aint got you' level but still it's really iconic
Easily at least an A-tier, and we're talking about a radio edit too.
This was the only song I disagreed on the ranking. I thought it would be an A ranked song or even S but at least should have been B. So iconic.
Yes and the song has aged very well people still sing it to this day
am i the only one who remembers drops of jupiter not coming out until like the mid-2000s??
Fantano low key has vocals. The way he impersonates all these singers are spot on.
tf u mean lowkey? i wanna lick melon's vocal chords
You notice too 🤔
Fantano has rated my birth year "Pretty good", I have been spared from execution
I vaguely remember something not good happening that year, tbh
besides my birth
@@slick3996 You were also born in 2001? That's crazy I thought I was the only one 🤔
Most of these songs remind me of working in grocery stores when i was a teenager.
8:05 This was the best summary of Drops of Jupiter I ever heard
It's Train, so it automatically gives off corny and weird vibes, but admittedly it IS probably their best big hit
Bro it was written for the lead singers mom who died from cancer 😭
@@pogchamp9669 so?
@@recipoldinasty fym so it came from a genuine place you cant call that shit corny
@@pogchamp9669 Still corny... and cheesy.
@@pogchamp9669 i can 100% call it corny even if it is sincere. the corniest shit usually is pretty sincere
Discovery, Vespertine, and Amnesiac all came out in 2001. Best year for music ever.
Kid A better
@@danielfleming9630 Kid A is better. Willing to count it as 2001 if you are.
This is another list where there are a lot of songs I don't think I've ever actually even heard of. For comparison, here's the UK Top 10 of 2001.
10. Afroman - Because I Got High
9. Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
8. Shaggy - Angel ft Rayvon
7. S Club 7 - Don't Stop Movin'
6. Westlife - Uptown Girl
5. DJ Ötzi - Hey Baby (Uhh, Ahh)
4. Atomic Kitten - Whole Again
3. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head
2. Hear'Say - Pure And Simple
1. Shaggy - It Wasn't Me ft Rikrok
Again, some stuff in here is great, out number 1 is probably better cause It Wasn't Me is a classic but then we have so much just, random pop chaff. Probably stand by Wheatus and Kylie too, those songs are super fun.
Fun fact: Dido's White Flag album was the best selling album in the UK despite none of her songs making it up here.
Can't get you out of my head has aged super well tbh
Your guys in the UK were listening to DJ Ötzi? lmao
@@zadkiel2278 it was only that one song and I feel like it became so massive culturally, weirdly. I'd say most people of a certain age in the UK know the chorus anyway.
@@adamhurd1560 it's an old 60s song. Wasn't until some years ago that I realized DJ Ötzis version wasn't only known on austrian ski parties
Damn what a list of songs. 2001 must be the first year I really became conscious of and interested music because that list is such a snapshot of a very specific point in my childhood.
_Not melon putting _*_my favourite_*_ Lenny Kravitz song in the D-tier!_ 🥲
Fallin in C is criminal
'All For You' deserved A tier at the least
Opeth - Blackwater Park. Converge - Jane Doe. Will Haven - Carpe Diem. System of a Down - Toxicity. Candiria - 300% Density. Fantomas - Directors Cut. Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard. Radiohead - Amnesiac. Emperor - Prometheus. Devin Townsend - Terria. Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. Rammstein - Sonne. Slipknot - IOWA. Static X - Machine.
Absolutely nothing to do with the Billboard top 10, but 2001 was surely one of the strongest in the modern era for metal
Can we please get a video of just fantano vocal impressions? Please! That Train bit had me rolling haha
Man, 2001 was a tragic year, i sure wish a punk rock band named after weed would make an album based on it
I wish i had the confidence mellon does to rock the collar over a sweater like this
Fantano is stanning Destiny’s Child ❤️❤️❤️
interesting thing about the I'm Real murder remix is that its not even her singing the chorus (I think its Ashanti) and she says the N word on one of the verses lol i thought that would rank much lower.
yup, a lot of j lo songs feature other women’s vocals mixed into hers. J lo can’t sing for shit, and i say that as someone who enjoys a number of her songs
That and the sample was already locked in for a Mariah track, I remember Ja being pretty open about how the whole thing just being a weird attempt to sabotage Mariah on behalf of her ex
They wanted so hard Jlo to "look" as a black woman
I find it weird how she got backlash for that unlike all the latino rappers who were using it at the same time.
The guitar intro of let me blow ya mind still destroys dancefloors
Not getting a fantano video for 4 days is like when your dad is at the store for 4 years
We made it through fam
And I was wondering why I was feeling strangely depressed last few days. This is it. Thank you
2:44 didn't know Anthony was British
I was 15 in 2001 and was into mainly death metal and some rap but most of these songs still spark the nostalgia.
Eve has so much charisma on Let Me Blow Ya Mind
How bout Whos That Girl. She still the shyt
I agree Anthony. The first 9 months and 10 days of 2001 were pretty great.
Bracing myself for Nickelback's How You Remind Me in the 2002 video.
I think it’s one of Nickleback later songs and base on how he ranked things in this video eg Fallin and drops of Jupiter I think it’ll be c tier
My stupid ass thinking anything from Toxicity was gonna show up here
How dare you not make a new SS tier to put "All For You" in
Train Drops Of Jupiter was stolen from a guy from Indiana in a band called 'My Morning Jacket'. They settled out of court. It was 'amicably resolved'
I'd never heard of this despite listening to a ton of Train (when I was 12, please don't judge) and My Morning Jacket (go ahead and judge, MMJ is great), so I looked it up. It was Tim Jones of Old Pike, not MMJ. He was bandmates with someone else who was in MMJ. The terms of the settlement seem to have prevented any details from becoming widely known. Odd story. Thanks for bringing it up!
@@artfuldodger5933 I bet you're right. I remember reading something about it in "NUVO"- it was a little independent newspaper
@@TheGeniuschrist An archived NUVO interview with Tim Jones is where I found those details! Indie music journalism is valuable.
@@artfuldodger5933 So my source was good- it's my old brain that's failing me.
Disappointing. WORK SYNAPSES! WORK!
Janet, Alicia & Destiny's child should be S Tier IMO.
that's what I was thinking
Yooo was just listening to Thank You this morning
I’m guessing Anthony ain’t been to the club for a while because the ‘Let me blow your mind’ guitar lick is remixed into absolutely everything these days, the youngens are most definitely familiar with it.
Yeah I’m definitely familiar too bad that doja song ruined it
I don't know wtf Rob Thomas ever did to Melon.
Held him down and made him eat animal products, by the sound of it.
Exist i guess.
Yeah same here
STANdalone song, you get it?
All For You is honestly top 10 hits of 00's, it's so gorgeous and the groove is so dense and glitzy and addictive, plus the lyrics are super fun and risqué lol
Honestly Sister Hazel had the better song called "All For You" from around that time.
7:43 that’s so funny you say that bc I think at one point when I was still a dumb baby toddler (like eight years old) I thought at least two of Train’s big songs were by Maroon 5
I think the vocals on I'm Real are actually recorded by Ashanti from what I've heard? She did the demo version, and they liked her vocals more than Jennifer's, so they just kept them.
It was either that one or Jenny From the Block. Crazy once you hear it tho and realize that’s not JLo even a little bit 💀
Dr. Dre can do no wrong when he is in the production seat.
Eve was SO fucking hype in the early 2000s. I think it's honestly impossible for anyone born between 1990-1995 or earlier to not know about her music unless they've been living under a rock this whole time.
All for you is god tier
Andy, anthony, melon man, whats going on with that stash?
The start of the 00's was good it wasn't till the middle when bad pop electro really took over.
Electropop was my favorite era of pop music, i loved the 2010-2011 sound. I understand that this is a niche taste though and people arent ready for a black eyed peas edm revelation yet
I had been very interested in where EDM was going, what it was, up until around that time. I'm still not sure if I was missing out on anything. I got into some literal pop as it got in the 2010's to be what I would have considered niche EDM's in the 2000 - 2007 era.
Late 2000s are the best time. When they finally get rid of the boring power ballads that we were forced to listen to our entire lives and music started focusing on being fun again
@@dusthymn8187 Ah yes, the worst era of the Black Eyed Peas. Where they had like one good song (I Gotta Feeling), while the rest ranged from mediocre to absolute trash.
It was literally trashy dumb hip-pop in the mid 2000s that ruined it all. So many faceless one-hit Wonder with terrible Hits aged like cat piss
I was totally expecting you to drag that Lifehouse song to the pits of hell, but I'm glad you didn't because I fucking love that song. We need that overdramatic shit once in a while, and it's much better if the tune is solid :)
The way it teleported into my hand
“2001 was pretty good” -anthony fantano
When is the Lifehouse worst to best video dropping???
Ayy, The year I was born
All for you is a banger
I fucking hate Train but Drops of Jupiter is an amazing song
anthony , putting drops of jupiter above fallin is criminal
Ahh the year I graduated high school. I'm not in my nostalgia feels at all lol
oh 2001 reminds me of that tragedy
Thank you anthony for making me learn something about 2001 other than 9/11 D attacks
ALL FOR YOU IS GOD TIER POP
Yay, the year I was born!
Eve and Janet Jackson were both easily A-tier. Alicia at least B tier.
I support the term ‘minivan rock’ for songs like Hanging on a Moment. Honestly Hanging on a Moment might be the best minivan rock song (if you don’t consider Since U Been Goon minivan rock)
5:33 Not me expecting him to say "tran!" when he rated Blow Ya Mind a B 💀
Anthony: 2001 was good.
9/11: Hold my explosions.
So happy "Thank You" was that high. One of my favorite songs ever :)
Dido's Thank You blew up *because* of Stan -- first coming out in 1998 on a movie soundtrack and then being re-released in late 2000 to capitalize on the mainstream attention brought by the Eminem single. So while I guess saying "before this song was [sampled on Stan], it was its own thing" is technically accurate, it does omit the fact that nobody really knew or cared about it before that sample, and that the only reason it appears on this list is because of the sample
i’m curious about 2002 top 10 because i’ve been wondering what he thinks about 1000 miles by vanessa carlton. i will die on a hill for that song and bop it like no tomorrow
easily S tier
I fucking love that song lol. One of the best pop tunes I’ve ever heard. Usually I be listening to Napalm Death, Daughters, etc but I love everything about that tune
Lose yourself
my favorite album of all time, discovery, came out that year so 2001 was indeed a good year
