The hardest thing about the 2000s and 2010s is that rock in it’s true form has fallen from the mainstream. And there’s so much crossover within sub genres that it’s hard to classify anything. I would love to see you put together the puzzle of the 2010s cuz it’s another decade that’s all over the place!
@@caesarorzell600 Royal Blood, Nothing but Thieves, Jack White, The War on Drugs, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Foals, Ghost, Bring me the horizon, The National, Palaye Royale, White Lies, Japandroids, The Kooks and a lot of indie bands. Not much but something.
The Story so Far, Tame Impala, HAIM, Harry Styles, Sam Fender, The Aces... that's the thing about music through the decades it grows and transforms.. in a way that's the beauty of it too. But I think rock and pop-punk and alternative are coming back to the mainstream especially in the early 2020's with Olivia Rodrigo, The Hunna, Machine Gun Kelly and Willow Smith (with the help of Travis Barker producing).
Arctic Monkey's two early albums are so iconic here in the UK. Although this is US-focussed (they only broke into the US with "AM"), I was a lil' surprised not to see a nod to Silent Alarm (although Franz Ferdinand suitably mentioned)
Agreed! Arctic Monkeys definitely deserved more attention, especially since they rose out of myspace. I also get a very classic Beatles vibe from them, I guess mostly from their first album (four British kids from a working class town with thick accents, high energy, reviving an earlier, back to basics rock sound, etc.)
Hello, actually it was in the 2000s when i start discovering rock n roll and metal music during my highschool period, and to be honest i still have some nostalgia to that time, but watching this video made me sad somehow , how much rock n roll fade and no intresting music was made even though I like some bands you've mentioned, i love rock n roll and it makes sad seeing dying , but the good thing i guess we still have more and more to discover from it's golden years , Thank you JT curtis and the cast for the whole work you have done , i really appreciate it ,
I feel like Red Hot Chili Peppers should have been mentioned more. Stadium Arcadium was one of the hardest rocking albums of the mid 2000s, was a number one album worldwide, and featured many Top 40 hits. THAT rocked hard
The 2010s would have to address seismic shifts in Rock and the Music Industry in general: 1) The proliferation of social media and streaming platforms like Spotify, RUclips, Soundclound, Bandcamp etc made it easier than ever for musicians to share their music independently without going through the big label machinery. This also saw many small/regional labels able to extend their reach without necessarily having to use the big labels for distribution. Rock, being an anti-establishment genre flocked to this new method of distribution, but it meant that many great rock bands stayed at a local/regional level. There were a million bands getting 10 sales rather than 10 bands getting a million sales, and only like-minded listeners would get the same algorithm recommendations -- so there are pockets of the internet/cities/regions where certain bands are massive, and yet virtually unknown anywhere else. 2) A lot of notable rock acts (or acts that had moderately successful rock songs) from the 2010s were female voiced and fronted, like St. Vincent, The Dead Weather, HAIM, Courtney Barnett, Phoebe Bridgers, Soccer Mommy, Beabadoobee, Alvvays, Beach House, Best Coast, The Beaches, Crumb, Khruangbin, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Marika Hackman, Alabama Shakes etc. The male-dominated major labels could be circumvented and as a result more people were able to hear a larger number and variety of female voices in rock music. 3) Because of the democratization of music distribution, the big labels started pushing catch-all, mono-genre music that incorporates elements of hip-hop, rock, and pop. This makes it more difficult to distinguish where rock, pop, and hip-hop all start and end in the traditional mainstream media arena. For example, lets look at acts like Imagine Dragons, Twenty-One Pilots, and Machine Gun Kelly which are all marketed by big labels as "rock" and are referred to as being "rock" by traditional mainstream music institutions like Billboard, Rolling Stone, and the Grammys. Each of these acts definitely has elements that we'd characterize as being "rock" , such as rhythm electric/acoustic guitars, maybe acoustic drums, a 2-4 downbeat, and lyrics about teenage angst; however they ALSO have hip-hop elements like electronic bass & drum heavy production, trap hi-hats, rap-like vocal sections and delivery; and pop elements like quantization, auto-tune and bright, super compressed mixing/mastering. As such it's difficult to classify these acts. I hear Olivia Roderigo and Billie Eilish played on both rock and pop radio stations, which traditionally had very little if any overlap in formatting. Where do these artists belong? Both places? Neither? It's hard to say. We're in a weird transition period with music right now. The 2010s still had a number of interesting rock groups that would be worth mentioning however, (in addition to the ones I've already listed): Cage the Elephant, Jack White's solo projects, Tame Impala, Gary Clark Jr, Mac Demarco, Black Midi, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Thee Oh Sees, Michael Kiwanuka, Royal Blood, The Black Pumas, Tinariwen & Mdou Moctar (both of which are artists from the Western Sahara region of Africa that incorporate blues/rock timbres and traditional music of the area into their songs. They both existed before 2010, but saw steady a steady growth of a Western listening audience during the 2010s). Brothers, The Suburbs, King Animal, Wasting Light, Hardwired to Self-Destruct, and ...Like Clockwork were fantastic albums from older rock groups.
I've noticed that Metallica has been mentioned in every episode since the 1980s. The 2010s will mention them again! I believe it. Female fronted bands being a thing is a good thing. I forgot to mention that, but I knew that some people like you would be talking about that. I talked about how we will talk about social media in the 2010s and the effects music had as a result. Social media is the easiest way to get popular and it's showing that. The Beatles released Please Please Me in 1963 and was a huge success in England. It took them a year to get recognition in America. Sure they did have some of that by the end of 1963, but it wasn't until February 1964 when they came to the US and took over.
@@JTCurtisMusic thanks for agreeing! In all honesty, if you are going to make an extras video or an expanded version, I’d recommend talking about the indie rock of the late 2000s (MGMT, Phoenix) that lead to the indie pop boom of the early 2010s. And if you really are ending with a 2010s, check out Gary Clark Jr…no doubt you’d absolutely love him.
I think the 2 biggest rock related bands you missed out on are LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead's later albums like In Rainbows. I believe in Rock and Roll the 2010s, since this is the age of Spotify, you should take a deep dive into more obscure bands and not only what makes it big (enough). I feel this has huge potential
yes im in the credits! thank you for this whole journey guys. you have educated me on an artform i have fallen in love with. i wouldnt bother making another vid for the 10s. 2000s is a good end point.
I love this series but have to disagree about not making one for the 2010s...it might take a bit more effort to find it, but good forms of rock were out there! Not all music was autotuned to death 😁 I love JTs analysis of each decade and would love to see one more!
I really love this series, you can tell how much effort you guys put into these. I love the way that theses videos have all been done, they are insightful, you can learn from them and they are also really funny. Thank you.
This is probably the best written episode of the series, I absolutely love it! Even if the 2000s doesn't have a lot of content for rock, you did a great job with the content you had to work with. Did the 2000s Rock Hard? Well, from my memories it did rock really hard, but that was because I started with metal... which is kind of the point of the genre: To rock hard. Gojira, Mastodon, Opeth and Meshuggah were metal kings of the 2000s in my book and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to see them get mentioned. Alas, this is the History of *Rock*, not the history of metal. That said, I only have one word! Or... three, rather: Coheed and Cambria. They are positively awesome! They rock hard and the whole concept of the band is so unique. The idea of adapting a comic book story into such an abstract medium like music is almost unheard of! With each album telling the story of this very interesting sci-fi political war drama. While you're at it, you should definitely check out Ayreon. They're doing a similar thing, with having an interconnected story throughout their albums. It's a little less original however, but the story is exclusively tied to the music as a means of communicating the story, which is even cooler. And if you ever come around to doing the 2010s, I beg of you: Talk about post-Rock! Thanks for coming to my TedTalk, I'm excited to see your next project, JT!
The 2000's when it came to music was more of a decade of hidden gems. Mainstream music (Especially Pop Music) was awful in the 2000's but if you searched hard enough you would find some great interesting albums. For examples albums like Burial - Untrue, Unwound -Leaves Turn Inside You, Daft Punk - Discovery (With the fantastic anime film Interstella 5555 that was based upon the album) and At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command are just of the albums that came out during the 2000s.
The 2000s was the decade where I gave up on mainstream media and went primarily, if not solely, on underground and deep cuts. I have not regretted that decision since.
Just finished watching all the episodes back to back (even the extra episode and introduction ) I really liked all the episodes and learned about bands I never heard before , thanks for the episodes
I'm glad he got to Muse at the end there. As for a band doing their own thing I would put Coheed and Cambria on the list. The idea of not just a concept album but an entire world building exercise over multiple albums and comic series is pretty unique.
"Too many protest singers, not enough protest songs." (Edwyn Collins) Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it very much. Back in the early 2000s I listened more to pop: Nelly Furtado, Pink, Moby, etc. So this video is all new stuff for me. Except the Gorillas - love them.
I'm very glad that Nick mentioned Nightwish. Love that band, but I would say that I'm more of a Lacuna Coil fan! Definitely one of the best goth bands of all time! Epica and Within Temptation are other bands with front women that totally rocks! I love some of the other bands with women in the 00s more than Fleetwood Mac and Heart personally!
as a person who was deeply influenced by 2000s rock Im glad ya took a look at my favorite decade of music even though it was far outside your lense of appreciation. it is kinda funny to see some of my main influences like modest mouse and mcr kinda glossed over snese I could gush for literally days on just one of their albums. and my favorite band of all time not even mentioned; Coheed and cambria which Im sure youd appreciate since theyre stylistically all over the rock spectrum sonically. I could gush about them for years so Ill save your eyes from that. it was a wild ride Im so glad I subscribed to you ever since my other favorite decade the 70s was covered. and even if theres not much to talk about going forward I cant wait to see any new series' you can come up with. be proud of this series ya did really fucking good work and I consider this channel Deeply underated. caio for now JT and keep rockin
I just finished binge watching all your "History" videos by the decades. I am unchanged in my opinion that nothing has been worth listening to since the mid eighties, however, I will say that your presentations were first rate. They were informative, entertaining and although a bit contrived at times, definitely worth watching. Two thumbs up.
Your comments were interesting as I was in bands from 1980 until around 88 and really missed most of the music presented in your 80s history. It would have been interesting to see what we could have done had we been 20 years later when it was easier to do it yourself. Ive always been good at that. Ive made my own guitars for decades.
Honestly, I think that a full length video of the 2010’s could be done, there’s many bands that come up that can easily be discussed such as Greta Van Fleet, Five Finger Death Punch, Ghost, etc. However the last years of the decade would be a very depressing time especially 2017-2019 when many artists died such as Tom Petty, Chester Bennington, Chuck Berry, Chris Cornell, Ric Ocasek, Ginger Baker, etc. I do also want to see the growth of nostalgia in rock with reissues of albums selling very well and some artists having successful comeback albums such as Paul McCartney, The Who, etc.
You make a really great point. The deaths in particular would be interesting to put in the video. It's sad to see these stars go. But we still will listen to them. Even if they are not here with us, their music will still live on forever.
In your history videos, you've talked about many different subgenres of rock. I'd like to see a video on what makes these subgenres distinct. How are heavy metal and hard rock different? What makes punk sound like punk? And so on.
Metal has gone extreme with the 1980s, starting with Venom's Welcome to Hell in 1981. Black metal band that would make a big impact on extreme metal. Celtic Frost was another black metal band from the 80s and Possessed (Larry LaLonde's first band before Primus) started the death metal craze that would be around in the mid-late 80s early 90s.
Good video as always. You forgot to mention about the recent resurgence in the ‘00s pop punk/emo aesthetic being due to current big acts adapting it like Olivia Rodrigo having a #1 hit this year with “good 4 u” which people noted sounded so similar to “Misery Business” that she wound up giving the band songwriting credits even though she didn’t use anything from the song which is another music business fuckery that would deserve its own video. In fact, “good 4 u” is considered the first full on rock song to hit #1 on the Hot 100 since probably “How You Remind Me.”
just finished watching your whole series. Awesome job! you deserve more subs and views. I'll be spreading the videos around to my music students and my social media.
Damn. This gives me childhood nostalgia. Fallen by evanescence and life for rent by Dido or two albums that my mom would play to help me fall asleep when I was really young
Around 2005, I sorta veered from all this rock stuff, but still was into Killers, Vines and Hives. That year was sad for me, because my idol from the 1970's had passed away. He was the reason why Texano music was slowly emerging, though he was born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, he lived in Houston and he started a new genre of music that fusioned rock, cuban, and Colombian beats to his style, eventually becoming popular in 2971. His name was Rigo Tovar. He was the reason I started wanting to sing, play drums and guitar. Anyway yeah, mid 2000's was pretty much the end of music for me.
I would die in the cross for 2000's rock for Linkin Park, System Of A Down, Avenged Sevenfold, MCR, Flyleaf, Bullet for my Valentine, P!ATD and Paramore. Dont @ me.
Even though I'm not really the biggest fan of the early 2000s music really I think this still so be interesting to look at as kind of a Time castle and they were some good bands in the early 2000s who this could be like what we should take from the decade and what we shouldn't
Another great history of rock doc! My fav albums from the 2000s: Ash - “Free All Angels” (2001) Incubus - “Morning View” (2001) Incubus - “A Crow Left of the Murder” (2004) Fountains of Wayne - “Welcome Interstate Managers” (2003) New Found Glory - Self-Titled (2000) Nerd Herder - “How To Meet Girls” (2000) Goldfinger - “Open Your Eyes” (2002) Reel Big Fish - “Cheer Up!” (2002) Phantom Planet - “The Guest” (2002) Superdrag - “In the Valley of Dying Stars” (2000)
I grew up in this era of rock, and while I did listen to a lot of these mentioned bands, honestly none have stuck with me as much as Muse, their first 6 albums(Showbiz-The 2nd Law) are incredible, especially Origin of Symmetry, one of my favorite albums of all time.
A 2010 history of rock and roll would be very nice, but I would also love to see you do a history of music series or if it's too broad a subject, maybe a history of pop? Basically, I love what you're doing and I want more :)
One modern band that has been keeping rock alive and well is Rise Against! Ever since Siren Song of the Counter Culture, they're been consistently releasing awesome punk rock albums and releasing a ton of awesome songs like Give It All, Swing Life Away, Prayer of the Refugee, Ready to Fall, Injection, Re-Education (Through Labor), Savior, Satellite, Broken Dreams Inc, and Nowhere Generation. They're released 9 albums since 2001 and have been very much consistent, not having a single bad album. Alkaline Trio is also another punk band that has been making awesome albums from Goddammit (yes, that's the name of their debut album, not kidding all the way up to Crimson. Agony & Irony, This Addiction and My Shame Is True aren't that great, but came back with a punch with Is This Thing Cursed? in 2018.
I grew up in the era and discovered my love for alternative and nu metal. Man I miss Lincoln Park that music got me through my younger years and man I was emo as hell back then 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you JT for your history of Rock & Roll clips. I just binge-watched all of them (50s to 2000s) - really a very nice compilation and well produced!!!! I would have appreciated it if you had honored one of the best bands ever (or a least in the 2000s in my view) a little more: SYSTEM OF A DOWN. Best regards from Switzerland
Avenged Sevenfold is definitely one of my favorite metal bands of the 00s! City of Evil is a fantastic album! They actually started out metalcore. Sounds of the Seventh Trumpet isn't that great of an album compared to their other albums, but their second album Waking the Fallen is awesome! After that, they were just heavy metal. However, my favorite metalcore bands are Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Underoath.
Was kinda hoping Steely Dan’s reunion would be mentioned, but that’s just me being a super fan of them. Very cool video nonetheless, even though it’s probably my least favourite decade for music lol.
There was a severe lack of mentioning Anthrax’s superb album We’ve Come For You All following the Anthrax name controversy with 911 and the rebirth of Thrash metal. Honorable mention for amazing albums in the 2000s, Dream Theater’s Octavarium with Panic Attack and Porcupine Tree’s Fear of a Blank Planet with Anesthetize. Both incredible prog metal albums. I can’t help but wonder what a History of Rock: The 2010s would look like.
Great video JT! Totally worth the wait! I do point out a few omissions from 2008 like “Don’t Stop” by Innerpartysystem (a sleeper hit that’s seeing a big re-evaluation as of late) the Death Magnetic album by Metallica “You’re Gonna Go Far Kid” by The Offspring 2009 could be about Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown Now, if there are rock albums from the 2010s worth talking about... - Wasting Light (Foo Fighters) - The Next Day / Blackstar (David Bowie) - Battle Born (The Killers) - Infestissumam / Meliora (Ghost) - Seal the Deal and Let’s Boogie (Volbeat) Perhaps you could talk about the trend of Zeppelin aping bands such as Rival Sons, The Temperance Movement and of course, Greta Van Fleet On a darker note, you could talk about the rockstar deaths of 2015-2018: Scott Weiland, Lemmy, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Leonard Cohen, then Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington and Dolores O’Riordan.
Top 10 Bands of the 00s 1. Green Day 2. Sum 41 3. Linkin Park 4. Yellowcard 5. Avenged Sevenfold 6. Queens of the Stone Age 7. Red Hot Chili Peppers 8. Lacuna Coil 9. Trivium 10. The White Stripes
Wow, Radiohead's Hail to the Thief album was totally missed out on. It was Radiohead's return to guitar rock with Kid A's experimentation. It was a more subtle protest of Bush and the Iraq War and it contained some of Radiohead's best songs such as There, There and 2 + 2 =5. I highly suggest you check it out if you enjoyed Kid A.
It does feel like heavy metal was slightly under-represented. Great video as always. I say do the 2010s just to cover all bases. It will probably be more like a retrospect last decade's music, and perhaps if there's any hope. A fee suggestions. Lady Gaga, Foo Fighter's documentary, Beyonce's protest song, Weird Al mandatory fun, Imagine Dragons... Billie Eilish? Okay, good or bad, I am struggling to think of acts/topics.
I would agree! Heavy metal doesn't really get the respect that it truly deserves from the mainstream media unfortunately! Sad but true! Metal actually has gone extreme already since the mid to late 80s-early 90s, starting with black metal and death metal.
Unfortunately Panic At the Disco became a part of the Machine for their last 3 albums. I called them the Brandon Urie Project instead since it was just Urie himself.
Another band you need to talk about from the 2010s is King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, they’re really one of the only popular prog band still putting out albums today, and Nonagon Infinity is one of the best prog and psychedelic albums ever
Kanye West actually didn’t use auto tune as much people think he did. Even when he did it was done pretty well with him adding some 808s. Good video Kurtis. Big fan
You should absolutely do the 2010s. There are still a lot of great bands, even if you have to branch out to the roots rock revival guys like the Bellfuries, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, the Rhythm Shakers, and the Alabama Shakes.
It's still difficult to gauge their popularity in relation to the decade. Alabama Shakes definitely had some attention a few years back, but I haven't really from them since. And The Rhythm Shakers and Bellfuries I've never heard of at all. In fact they haven't even broken 1 million views on any youtube video or have any wikipedia page. It's basically the problem I run into in getting into more of these indie bands.
@@JTCurtisMusic fair enough. It's a shame though, because there's definitely a lot of talent out there, but it's so hard for any rock bands to break out these days. Anyway, I love the stuff you put out. Though I can't help, but be disappointed it the lag of Devo and Aerosmith, but I get it.
@@pettyofficerwelch Devo was a copyright issue. In retrospect Aerosmith might have gotten overshadowed by so many other artists in the 70s. Great band though, no doubt about it.
I would love to see History of Rock & Roll - The 2010s. I don't know if I can think of any artists for rock music from that decade, but I'm sure hoping I will find out what artists will be in that video.
anyone who says they're not a fan of the 2000s hasn't looked deep enough into the music being released during that time. Women, The Microphones/Mount Eerie, Scott fucking Walker, Animal Collective, Boris, Aphex Twin, Sun Kil Moon, Godspeed You! Black Emperor. all fantastic bands that sound completely different to each other.
you could say this about just about any era. if ya just skim the mainstream or sub mainstream well knowns youll likely have heard of all the acts in any of these videos; I think that intentional cause if they dug into the pits to find all the best music it wouldnt really translate as a general experience of a rock fan in the era. and of course an old emo postcore type would prolly know all the cool bands they generally skimmed over but id be lying if I said everyones heard of from first to last or at the drive in, hell Im 90% sure that a good chunk of people who know who from first to last is is because Skrillex was their singer before literally defining an electronic style of music called Brostep and off shoot of dubstep.
none of them are rock tho (except for Boris). And Mount Eeerie sucks. I mean, there was good stuff, I like Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, Bright Eyes and Borken Social Scene. But they weren't really the cultural zeitgeist of that era.
I saw a lot of people's comments including myself wanting a 2010s videos. I don't know if i wanted it at all, but due to you guys celebrating 10 years of the History of Rock and Roll, I can see why you would want to do the video. Either way, I'm excited for it to happen. The 2010s will be very interesting. I will be very surprised. Social media will definitely be talked about. The Internet has evolved onto our phones, and we would be listening to music on Spotify, Apple Music and RUclips Music. I'm not sure if the 2012 Olympics will be talked about, but The Who was the closing band for the closing ceremony. They were unfortunately the last band to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show as they would go back to popular artists performing at the halftime show. It's not about talent. It's about money. I forgot to mention some of the garage rock bands you mentioned like The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Black Keys and The Hives are fan favorites on Little Steven's Underground Garage. They play older bands of the 60s and newer bands of the 2000s and 2010s, which would made a huge appeal to me. The Ramones get played on here a lot as well. They play music that influenced The Ramones, The Ramones, and bands influenced The Ramones. MySpace was the first social media page before Facebook. I'm not sure if it's not around anymore, but it has been downhill.
Hey JT...just finished your whole history of rock series...really enjoyed it and learned a few things too, thanks for all this effort and work....I am a fellow Beatles / Floyd nut down in New Orleans....you may dig some of my tunes...they are filled with The Beatles influence...swing by the channel...and I too was in a host of Beatle tribute bands going back to the late 80s....have. a gig today where im sure ill pull out a bunch....was just tying to memorize walrus for the 100th time...ha.....Thanks again for the great content....really enjoyed....and although we were born in different years I have come to MANY of the same conclusions as you....fascinating! Rock on! Mike
Evanescence is my favorite 2000's band😂😍👌🏻 Y'all cannot deny Amy's hauntingly beautiful voice, and now that they have become independent artists, they are rocking more than ever!🥸
if you do the 2010s please consider these bands - converge, protest the hero, every time i die, meshuggah, dillenger escape plan, lamb of god, and other hardcore/ metal scenes
If I would have added a record to this list, it'd have been Bee Gees' This Is Where I Come In. It was their last release and had a much more stripped down, acoustic sound that someone I know likened to Three Doors Down.
The Hives are the best band to come out the 2000’s. The Interpol debut is a must for any post punk fan . A few bands you missed , and I realize you’re staying fairly mainstream, but here are some of my favs , Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, LCD Soundsystem,The Kills, Editors,The Walkman, Eagles of Death Metal, Doves and perhaps the best post punk album ever The Horrors 2009 release “ Primary Colours” Most definitely do the 2010’s , best decade since the 80’s!
Built to Spill, Stephen Malkmus, The Shins, Broken Social Scene, Fleet Foxes, The Fratellis, Phoenix, The Postal Service, SuperChunk was still going. The 2000's had good indie
Billy Talent is my personal favourite band of that era. Maybe you had to be there in Canada at the time? Anyway, Ian D'Sa is great at crafting memorable and intricate Drop D parts, and it's kinda cool how they fused elements of At The Drive-In with a more poppy sound for the first album, and then for the next couple albums they branched off even more to make some really melodic stuff.
Looking at this video in retrospective, I don’t think rock had died, more so, mainstream rock was dying, with pop punk already being popular in the late 90’s, some indie, underground acts started to gain momentum in the 2000’s. Despite that, these artists didn’t have the public’s attention or the sudden legacy some of the more popular artists gained. Which is why I think we should check artists like: The Microphones, Have a Nice Life, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Flaming Lips and even others you mentioned like Interpol, Queens of the Stones Age and Modest Mouse. Another thing I’d like to mention is that you said that all of the rock doesn’t sound bluesy anymore, a characteristic spotted in the early years of rock and while I too myself love blues rock, the genres change overtime and what once was a part of the genre might be totally scrapped by others because they simply want to create their own sounds, worlds and music. I also think hip hop has been going through drastic changes, what once was popular in the 90’s like gangsta rap and hardcore hip hop is now reduced and we hear more trap influenced music, things just change!
I have watched your whole series going through the decades of rock music and I have really enjoyed it all! However, as a guy who grew up in the 2000s and is really into rock, I'm a bit surprised that you very quickly glossed over Arctic Monkeys, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest acts of the late 2000s (in England anyway) even though they didn't break into the States until the next decade. Their first three albums were as rock as you could get from the 2000s. Along with this, two bands that managed to carry their success over to the 2000s from the 90s were Radiohead and Red Hot Chilli peppers who both had critically acclaimed albums and received a lot on airplay in the early part of the decade. Other then this, you did a great job covering the 2000s, especially emo, which was a kind of new rock sub genre that was introduced and reached popularity in the later part of the decade.
You forgot a few bands. Shinedown, Alien Ant Farm, Crossfade, and Saliva to name a few. Great rundown overall but the previous mentioned bands were instrumental in my 20's.
The hardest thing about the 2000s and 2010s is that rock in it’s true form has fallen from the mainstream. And there’s so much crossover within sub genres that it’s hard to classify anything. I would love to see you put together the puzzle of the 2010s cuz it’s another decade that’s all over the place!
It could be worse, we could have lost the genre entirely in relevance if not in part because of the internet
@@jackthorton10 that was a great album.
I listen to modern rock and I could say the same about the 2020s.
2000s was still a GREAT decade for rock, it's the 2010s when it fell off
@@jackthorton10Jazz is a genre over 100 years old and its still alive and well
You should definitely do 2010s even if it would only be 15 minutes long
Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, Paramore, Halestorm/Pretty Reckless, Greta Van Fleet, Tool. Over.
@@caesarorzell600 Also Badflower, King Gizzard and Tyler Bryant.
Neck deep?
@@caesarorzell600 Royal Blood, Nothing but Thieves, Jack White, The War on Drugs, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Foals, Ghost, Bring me the horizon, The National, Palaye Royale, White Lies, Japandroids, The Kooks and a lot of indie bands. Not much but something.
The Story so Far, Tame Impala, HAIM, Harry Styles, Sam Fender, The Aces... that's the thing about music through the decades it grows and transforms.. in a way that's the beauty of it too. But I think rock and pop-punk and alternative are coming back to the mainstream especially in the early 2020's with Olivia Rodrigo, The Hunna, Machine Gun Kelly and Willow Smith (with the help of Travis Barker producing).
Can’t wait to see some Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Stripes, Strokes, Nine Inch Nails!!
Arctic Monkey's two early albums are so iconic here in the UK. Although this is US-focussed (they only broke into the US with "AM"), I was a lil' surprised not to see a nod to Silent Alarm (although Franz Ferdinand suitably mentioned)
Absolutely agree! I’m from Germany, those first two albums were huge here as well!!
Agreed! Arctic Monkeys definitely deserved more attention, especially since they rose out of myspace. I also get a very classic Beatles vibe from them, I guess mostly from their first album (four British kids from a working class town with thick accents, high energy, reviving an earlier, back to basics rock sound, etc.)
monke
I've been listening to the first album for years and years over here but never gave the second one a chance until this year. So fucking good
LCD Soundsystem's self-titled was big in the indie scene, as was Andrew WK's blend of bubblegum and arena rock
Hello, actually it was in the 2000s when i start discovering rock n roll and metal music during my highschool period, and to be honest i still have some nostalgia to that time, but watching this video made me sad somehow , how much rock n roll fade and no intresting music was made even though I like some bands you've mentioned, i love rock n roll and it makes sad seeing dying , but the good thing i guess we still have more and more to discover from it's golden years ,
Thank you JT curtis and the cast for the whole work you have done , i really appreciate it ,
I feel like Red Hot Chili Peppers should have been mentioned more. Stadium Arcadium was one of the hardest rocking albums of the mid 2000s, was a number one album worldwide, and featured many Top 40 hits. THAT rocked hard
Fax and By The Way in 02 that had some dope singles and even better deep cuts
The 2010s would have to address seismic shifts in Rock and the Music Industry in general:
1) The proliferation of social media and streaming platforms like Spotify, RUclips, Soundclound, Bandcamp etc made it easier than ever for musicians to share their music independently without going through the big label machinery. This also saw many small/regional labels able to extend their reach without necessarily having to use the big labels for distribution. Rock, being an anti-establishment genre flocked to this new method of distribution, but it meant that many great rock bands stayed at a local/regional level. There were a million bands getting 10 sales rather than 10 bands getting a million sales, and only like-minded listeners would get the same algorithm recommendations -- so there are pockets of the internet/cities/regions where certain bands are massive, and yet virtually unknown anywhere else.
2) A lot of notable rock acts (or acts that had moderately successful rock songs) from the 2010s were female voiced and fronted, like St. Vincent, The Dead Weather, HAIM, Courtney Barnett, Phoebe Bridgers, Soccer Mommy, Beabadoobee, Alvvays, Beach House, Best Coast, The Beaches, Crumb, Khruangbin, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Marika Hackman, Alabama Shakes etc. The male-dominated major labels could be circumvented and as a result more people were able to hear a larger number and variety of female voices in rock music.
3) Because of the democratization of music distribution, the big labels started pushing catch-all, mono-genre music that incorporates elements of hip-hop, rock, and pop. This makes it more difficult to distinguish where rock, pop, and hip-hop all start and end in the traditional mainstream media arena. For example, lets look at acts like Imagine Dragons, Twenty-One Pilots, and Machine Gun Kelly which are all marketed by big labels as "rock" and are referred to as being "rock" by traditional mainstream music institutions like Billboard, Rolling Stone, and the Grammys. Each of these acts definitely has elements that we'd characterize as being "rock" , such as rhythm electric/acoustic guitars, maybe acoustic drums, a 2-4 downbeat, and lyrics about teenage angst; however they ALSO have hip-hop elements like electronic bass & drum heavy production, trap hi-hats, rap-like vocal sections and delivery; and pop elements like quantization, auto-tune and bright, super compressed mixing/mastering. As such it's difficult to classify these acts. I hear Olivia Roderigo and Billie Eilish played on both rock and pop radio stations, which traditionally had very little if any overlap in formatting. Where do these artists belong? Both places? Neither? It's hard to say. We're in a weird transition period with music right now.
The 2010s still had a number of interesting rock groups that would be worth mentioning however, (in addition to the ones I've already listed): Cage the Elephant, Jack White's solo projects, Tame Impala, Gary Clark Jr, Mac Demarco, Black Midi, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Thee Oh Sees, Michael Kiwanuka, Royal Blood, The Black Pumas, Tinariwen & Mdou Moctar (both of which are artists from the Western Sahara region of Africa that incorporate blues/rock timbres and traditional music of the area into their songs. They both existed before 2010, but saw steady a steady growth of a Western listening audience during the 2010s). Brothers, The Suburbs, King Animal, Wasting Light, Hardwired to Self-Destruct, and ...Like Clockwork were fantastic albums from older rock groups.
I've noticed that Metallica has been mentioned in every episode since the 1980s. The 2010s will mention them again! I believe it. Female fronted bands being a thing is a good thing. I forgot to mention that, but I knew that some people like you would be talking about that. I talked about how we will talk about social media in the 2010s and the effects music had as a result. Social media is the easiest way to get popular and it's showing that. The Beatles released Please Please Me in 1963 and was a huge success in England. It took them a year to get recognition in America. Sure they did have some of that by the end of 1963, but it wasn't until February 1964 when they came to the US and took over.
been years since I last checked on this series. Then, the day I check, the next one's premiering in a week. Can't wait!
Sad you couldn’t mention “Where Oh Where is Reptar,” really is a masterpiece of music. Thanks for having it as a cameo at 42:13, though!
That would be the 90s, but yes, it is a masterpiece!
@@JTCurtisMusic thanks for agreeing!
In all honesty, if you are going to make an extras video or an expanded version, I’d recommend talking about the indie rock of the late 2000s (MGMT, Phoenix) that lead to the indie pop boom of the early 2010s.
And if you really are ending with a 2010s, check out Gary Clark Jr…no doubt you’d absolutely love him.
@@simpbartson2426 I saw Gary Clarke Jr at MSG a few years back, he was amazing.
The coolest movement in the 2000s were retro garage bands like the Strokes and White Stripes. The Black Keys' success in the 2010s was amazing too.
This series has always helped me discover new songs to fall in love with
I think the 2 biggest rock related bands you missed out on are LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead's later albums like In Rainbows. I believe in Rock and Roll the 2010s, since this is the age of Spotify, you should take a deep dive into more obscure bands and not only what makes it big (enough). I feel this has huge potential
Yes! LCD Soundsystem should've been definitely been mentioned
I agree i love sound of silver and this is happening
yes im in the credits! thank you for this whole journey guys. you have educated me on an artform i have fallen in love with. i wouldnt bother making another vid for the 10s. 2000s is a good end point.
Thank you so much James!
I love this series but have to disagree about not making one for the 2010s...it might take a bit more effort to find it, but good forms of rock were out there! Not all music was autotuned to death 😁 I love JTs analysis of each decade and would love to see one more!
I really love this series, you can tell how much effort you guys put into these. I love the way that theses videos have all been done, they are insightful, you can learn from them and they are also really funny. Thank you.
This is probably the best written episode of the series, I absolutely love it! Even if the 2000s doesn't have a lot of content for rock, you did a great job with the content you had to work with. Did the 2000s Rock Hard? Well, from my memories it did rock really hard, but that was because I started with metal... which is kind of the point of the genre: To rock hard. Gojira, Mastodon, Opeth and Meshuggah were metal kings of the 2000s in my book and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to see them get mentioned. Alas, this is the History of *Rock*, not the history of metal. That said, I only have one word! Or... three, rather: Coheed and Cambria. They are positively awesome! They rock hard and the whole concept of the band is so unique. The idea of adapting a comic book story into such an abstract medium like music is almost unheard of! With each album telling the story of this very interesting sci-fi political war drama. While you're at it, you should definitely check out Ayreon. They're doing a similar thing, with having an interconnected story throughout their albums. It's a little less original however, but the story is exclusively tied to the music as a means of communicating the story, which is even cooler.
And if you ever come around to doing the 2010s, I beg of you: Talk about post-Rock!
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk, I'm excited to see your next project, JT!
These videos are so well made. Thank you for putting so much effort into these. They're incredibly entertaining
The 2000's when it came to music was more of a decade of hidden gems. Mainstream music (Especially Pop Music) was awful in the 2000's but if you searched hard enough you would find some great interesting albums. For examples albums like Burial - Untrue, Unwound -Leaves Turn Inside You, Daft Punk - Discovery (With the fantastic anime film Interstella 5555 that was based upon the album) and At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command are just of the albums that came out during the 2000s.
The 2000s was the decade where I gave up on mainstream media and went primarily, if not solely, on underground and deep cuts. I have not regretted that decision since.
I went in the different of going back to the classic rock genre and seeing what I could get from there
Just finished watching all the episodes back to back (even the extra episode and introduction ) I really liked all the episodes and learned about bands I never heard before , thanks for the episodes
I'm glad he got to Muse at the end there. As for a band doing their own thing I would put Coheed and Cambria on the list. The idea of not just a concept album but an entire world building exercise over multiple albums and comic series is pretty unique.
Gonna be honest not a big fan of the 2000s but I’m still pumped
"Too many protest singers, not enough protest songs." (Edwyn Collins) Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it very much. Back in the early 2000s I listened more to pop: Nelly Furtado, Pink, Moby, etc. So this video is all new stuff for me. Except the Gorillas - love them.
I'm very glad that Nick mentioned Nightwish. Love that band, but I would say that I'm more of a Lacuna Coil fan! Definitely one of the best goth bands of all time! Epica and Within Temptation are other bands with front women that totally rocks! I love some of the other bands with women in the 00s more than Fleetwood Mac and Heart personally!
I love these videos 'bout the history of Rock & Roll. There are a few gems in the 2000s until now: The Black Keys with their great Blues for example.
as a person who was deeply influenced by 2000s rock Im glad ya took a look at my favorite decade of music even though it was far outside your lense of appreciation. it is kinda funny to see some of my main influences like modest mouse and mcr kinda glossed over snese I could gush for literally days on just one of their albums. and my favorite band of all time not even mentioned; Coheed and cambria which Im sure youd appreciate since theyre stylistically all over the rock spectrum sonically. I could gush about them for years so Ill save your eyes from that.
it was a wild ride Im so glad I subscribed to you ever since my other favorite decade the 70s was covered. and even if theres not much to talk about going forward I cant wait to see any new series' you can come up with. be proud of this series ya did really fucking good work and I consider this channel Deeply underated. caio for now JT and keep rockin
Let’s help J.T Curtis get 5 million fans! 🎙🎸
I’ll accept them!
YEP 13 MILLION CHILDREN? No wonder they are clueless too.
5 million J.T Curtis fans can't be wrong!
Nicely done!!! Great production and loved the segments. Reminded me of bands I hadn’t thought of in a while. Nice Avril spot Ashley!
Thanks Amanda!
Been waiting for this one! Great work man and thank you for putting in the time to do this. These videos need to be in the Library of Congress.
I just finished binge watching all your "History" videos by the decades. I am unchanged in my opinion that nothing has been worth listening to since the mid eighties, however, I will say that your presentations were first rate. They were informative, entertaining and although a bit contrived at times, definitely worth watching. Two thumbs up.
Your comments were interesting as I was in bands from 1980 until around 88 and really missed most of the music presented in your 80s history. It would have been interesting to see what we could have done had we been 20 years later when it was easier to do it yourself. Ive always been good at that. Ive made my own guitars for decades.
One of the most underrated channels on RUclips.
Honestly, I think that a full length video of the 2010’s could be done, there’s many bands that come up that can easily be discussed such as Greta Van Fleet, Five Finger Death Punch, Ghost, etc. However the last years of the decade would be a very depressing time especially 2017-2019 when many artists died such as Tom Petty, Chester Bennington, Chuck Berry, Chris Cornell, Ric Ocasek, Ginger Baker, etc. I do also want to see the growth of nostalgia in rock with reissues of albums selling very well and some artists having successful comeback albums such as Paul McCartney, The Who, etc.
You make a really great point. The deaths in particular would be interesting to put in the video. It's sad to see these stars go. But we still will listen to them. Even if they are not here with us, their music will still live on forever.
In your history videos, you've talked about many different subgenres of rock. I'd like to see a video on what makes these subgenres distinct. How are heavy metal and hard rock different? What makes punk sound like punk? And so on.
Metal has gone extreme with the 1980s, starting with Venom's Welcome to Hell in 1981. Black metal band that would make a big impact on extreme metal. Celtic Frost was another black metal band from the 80s and Possessed (Larry LaLonde's first band before Primus) started the death metal craze that would be around in the mid-late 80s early 90s.
Good video as always. You forgot to mention about the recent resurgence in the ‘00s pop punk/emo aesthetic being due to current big acts adapting it like Olivia Rodrigo having a #1 hit this year with “good 4 u” which people noted sounded so similar to “Misery Business” that she wound up giving the band songwriting credits even though she didn’t use anything from the song which is another music business fuckery that would deserve its own video. In fact, “good 4 u” is considered the first full on rock song to hit #1 on the Hot 100 since probably “How You Remind Me.”
That bit was done before “Good 4 U” came out. I believe “Good 4 U” was made because of the pop-punk resurgence.
just finished watching your whole series. Awesome job! you deserve more subs and views. I'll be spreading the videos around to my music students and my social media.
I just discovered the series this week and will also be sharing them. Fun and entertaining!!
Damn. This gives me childhood nostalgia. Fallen by evanescence and life for rent by Dido or two albums that my mom would play to help me fall asleep when I was really young
Around 2005, I sorta veered from all this rock stuff, but still was into Killers, Vines and Hives. That year was sad for me, because my idol from the 1970's had passed away. He was the reason why Texano music was slowly emerging, though he was born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, he lived in Houston and he started a new genre of music that fusioned rock, cuban, and Colombian beats to his style, eventually becoming popular in 2971. His name was Rigo Tovar. He was the reason I started wanting to sing, play drums and guitar. Anyway yeah, mid 2000's was pretty much the end of music for me.
I would die in the cross for 2000's rock for Linkin Park, System Of A Down, Avenged Sevenfold, MCR, Flyleaf, Bullet for my Valentine, P!ATD and Paramore.
Dont @ me.
Good summary. This show reminds me of those music shows on VH1 in the early 2000s. I might need to subscribe soon. Keep it up!!
Subscribed very early with your channel and all I can say is it just gets better and better. Great show!!!
Even though I'm not really the biggest fan of the early 2000s music really I think this still so be interesting to look at as kind of a Time castle and they were some good bands in the early 2000s who this could be like what we should take from the decade and what we shouldn't
Another great history of rock doc!
My fav albums from the 2000s:
Ash - “Free All Angels” (2001)
Incubus - “Morning View” (2001)
Incubus - “A Crow Left of the Murder” (2004)
Fountains of Wayne - “Welcome Interstate Managers” (2003)
New Found Glory - Self-Titled (2000)
Nerd Herder - “How To Meet Girls” (2000)
Goldfinger - “Open Your Eyes” (2002)
Reel Big Fish - “Cheer Up!” (2002)
Phantom Planet - “The Guest” (2002)
Superdrag - “In the Valley of Dying Stars” (2000)
Thank you so much, JTCurtis & friends. What a good work!!!
I grew up in this era of rock, and while I did listen to a lot of these mentioned bands, honestly none have stuck with me as much as Muse, their first 6 albums(Showbiz-The 2nd Law) are incredible, especially Origin of Symmetry, one of my favorite albums of all time.
I wasn’t paying attention to the music being released during the 2000s, but still, I enjoyed this video.
Cant wait bro. I love this series so much. Love from indonesia
Oo really? I am indonesian too
I Love these videos, it’s so obvious that you guys put a TON of effort and time into them! Keep it it up!
The very brief mention of Nightwish was nice and unexpected, they're my favorite all-time band
A 2010 history of rock and roll would be very nice, but I would also love to see you do a history of music series or if it's too broad a subject, maybe a history of pop? Basically, I love what you're doing and I want more :)
One modern band that has been keeping rock alive and well is Rise Against! Ever since Siren Song of the Counter Culture, they're been consistently releasing awesome punk rock albums and releasing a ton of awesome songs like Give It All, Swing Life Away, Prayer of the Refugee, Ready to Fall, Injection, Re-Education (Through Labor), Savior, Satellite, Broken Dreams Inc, and Nowhere Generation. They're released 9 albums since 2001 and have been very much consistent, not having a single bad album. Alkaline Trio is also another punk band that has been making awesome albums from Goddammit (yes, that's the name of their debut album, not kidding all the way up to Crimson. Agony & Irony, This Addiction and My Shame Is True aren't that great, but came back with a punch with Is This Thing Cursed? in 2018.
I have been waiting for this one for a long time. Great show guys 👏👏👏
I grew up in the era and discovered my love for alternative and nu metal. Man I miss Lincoln Park that music got me through my younger years and man I was emo as hell back then 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you JT for your history of Rock & Roll clips. I just binge-watched all of them (50s to 2000s) - really a very nice compilation and well produced!!!! I would have appreciated it if you had honored one of the best bands ever (or a least in the 2000s in my view) a little more: SYSTEM OF A DOWN. Best regards from Switzerland
One thing from the 2010s that’s good is astronoid. They’re a post metal band from Massachusetts and the their Air album was awesome
20:04
I laughed way too hard at this.
Such a dark but great bait and switch, brilliant.
Saying Coldplay sounded like U2 on valium had me dieing. 😂funny as hell, im stealing it!
Avenged Sevenfold is definitely one of my favorite metal bands of the 00s! City of Evil is a fantastic album! They actually started out metalcore. Sounds of the Seventh Trumpet isn't that great of an album compared to their other albums, but their second album Waking the Fallen is awesome! After that, they were just heavy metal. However, my favorite metalcore bands are Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Underoath.
Your 2010s video should definitely include Royal Blood and more Muse.
Was kinda hoping Steely Dan’s reunion would be mentioned, but that’s just me being a super fan of them. Very cool video nonetheless, even though it’s probably my least favourite decade for music lol.
Do you prefer this or the 2010's?
@@breadzeppelin2165 tough choice, neither are great lmao. Still some good stuff but not as much.
Just discovered this video today via the recommendations. Thank you RUclips!!!
Glad to hear! Please subscribe and check out our other stuff.
@@JTCurtisMusic Oh I DID! And I WILL!! >:D
For me, the best band of the 2000's was Porcupine Tree. All 4 of their 2000's albums was incredible. Criminally underrated
Fear of a blank planet is a masterpiece
100% agree, I think lightbulb sun was their best actually
There was a severe lack of mentioning Anthrax’s superb album We’ve Come For You All following the Anthrax name controversy with 911 and the rebirth of Thrash metal. Honorable mention for amazing albums in the 2000s, Dream Theater’s Octavarium with Panic Attack and Porcupine Tree’s Fear of a Blank Planet with Anesthetize. Both incredible prog metal albums. I can’t help but wonder what a History of Rock: The 2010s would look like.
Me, too! Surely it's time for the next installment now that we are well into the 2020s!!
This series is just awesome
Great video JT! Totally worth the wait! I do point out a few omissions from 2008 like
“Don’t Stop” by Innerpartysystem (a sleeper hit that’s seeing a big re-evaluation as of late)
the Death Magnetic album by Metallica
“You’re Gonna Go Far Kid” by The Offspring
2009 could be about Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown
Now, if there are rock albums from the 2010s worth talking about...
- Wasting Light (Foo Fighters)
- The Next Day / Blackstar (David Bowie)
- Battle Born (The Killers)
- Infestissumam / Meliora (Ghost)
- Seal the Deal and Let’s Boogie (Volbeat)
Perhaps you could talk about the trend of Zeppelin aping bands such as Rival Sons, The Temperance Movement and of course, Greta Van Fleet
On a darker note, you could talk about the rockstar deaths of 2015-2018: Scott Weiland, Lemmy, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Leonard Cohen, then Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington and Dolores O’Riordan.
There would definitely be a memoriam section for the 2010s. 2016 alone was an awful year.
Hit me with the 2010's and DO NOT FORGET the Legendary mordecai and the rigby's.
JT & ACCOMPLICES! YOU ARE A VERY ENTERTAING TRIO AND I VERY MUCH FIND YOUR RIBALD AND CHOREOGRAPKS VERY REFRESHING....THANK YOU
THANK YOU!
Someone else on planet Earth isn't a Justin Timberlake fan. Thank you JT! You restored my faith in humanity.
Imagine having the same initials...
Top 10 Bands of the 00s
1. Green Day
2. Sum 41
3. Linkin Park
4. Yellowcard
5. Avenged Sevenfold
6. Queens of the Stone Age
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers
8. Lacuna Coil
9. Trivium
10. The White Stripes
Qotsa, well played
i will include the strokes too
Wow, Radiohead's Hail to the Thief album was totally missed out on. It was Radiohead's return to guitar rock with Kid A's experimentation. It was a more subtle protest of Bush and the Iraq War and it contained some of Radiohead's best songs such as There, There and 2 + 2 =5. I highly suggest you check it out if you enjoyed Kid A.
It does feel like heavy metal was slightly under-represented. Great video as always. I say do the 2010s just to cover all bases. It will probably be more like a retrospect last decade's music, and perhaps if there's any hope. A fee suggestions. Lady Gaga, Foo Fighter's documentary, Beyonce's protest song, Weird Al mandatory fun, Imagine Dragons... Billie Eilish? Okay, good or bad, I am struggling to think of acts/topics.
I would agree! Heavy metal doesn't really get the respect that it truly deserves from the mainstream media unfortunately! Sad but true! Metal actually has gone extreme already since the mid to late 80s-early 90s, starting with black metal and death metal.
Unfortunately Panic At the Disco became a part of the Machine for their last 3 albums. I called them the Brandon Urie Project instead since it was just Urie himself.
@@takodabostwick8507 yeah pretty much what I thought as well.
Another band you need to talk about from the 2010s is King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, they’re really one of the only popular prog band still putting out albums today, and Nonagon Infinity is one of the best prog and psychedelic albums ever
I’m gonna watch this one in my music class today
When I was last in music class it WAS the 2000s...
Kanye West actually didn’t use auto tune as much people think he did. Even when he did it was done pretty well with him adding some 808s. Good video Kurtis. Big fan
I loved the 2000s, since thanks to Limewire I got to hear a lot of stuff I missed out from the 90s!!!😁
1 week ago!? Feel like I been watching these things for 60 years? lol
You should absolutely do the 2010s. There are still a lot of great bands, even if you have to branch out to the roots rock revival guys like the Bellfuries, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, the Rhythm Shakers, and the Alabama Shakes.
It's still difficult to gauge their popularity in relation to the decade. Alabama Shakes definitely had some attention a few years back, but I haven't really from them since. And The Rhythm Shakers and Bellfuries I've never heard of at all. In fact they haven't even broken 1 million views on any youtube video or have any wikipedia page. It's basically the problem I run into in getting into more of these indie bands.
@@JTCurtisMusic fair enough. It's a shame though, because there's definitely a lot of talent out there, but it's so hard for any rock bands to break out these days. Anyway, I love the stuff you put out. Though I can't help, but be disappointed it the lag of Devo and Aerosmith, but I get it.
@@pettyofficerwelch Devo was a copyright issue. In retrospect Aerosmith might have gotten overshadowed by so many other artists in the 70s. Great band though, no doubt about it.
I would love to see History of Rock & Roll - The 2010s. I don't know if I can think of any artists for rock music from that decade, but I'm sure hoping I will find out what artists will be in that video.
Nice to see your own band perform here on your videos.
Brian Setzer had some kickass stuff during this decade
Brian Setzer did 2 Christmas albums and a tribute album to Sun Records, which is extremely awesome!
Best of rock 2020s: the killers - run for cover, the man, tyson vs douglas!
anyone who says they're not a fan of the 2000s hasn't looked deep enough into the music being released during that time. Women, The Microphones/Mount Eerie, Scott fucking Walker, Animal Collective, Boris, Aphex Twin, Sun Kil Moon, Godspeed You! Black Emperor. all fantastic bands that sound completely different to each other.
you could say this about just about any era. if ya just skim the mainstream or sub mainstream well knowns youll likely have heard of all the acts in any of these videos; I think that intentional cause if they dug into the pits to find all the best music it wouldnt really translate as a general experience of a rock fan in the era. and of course an old emo postcore type would prolly know all the cool bands they generally skimmed over but id be lying if I said everyones heard of from first to last or at the drive in, hell Im 90% sure that a good chunk of people who know who from first to last is is because Skrillex was their singer before literally defining an electronic style of music called Brostep and off shoot of dubstep.
none of them are rock tho (except for Boris). And Mount Eeerie sucks.
I mean, there was good stuff, I like Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, Bright Eyes and Borken Social Scene. But they weren't really the cultural zeitgeist of that era.
@@diegopaimsouza >Mount Eerie sucks
>I like Arcade Fire
I'm not trusting your opinion dude
The Green Album is ironically, the moment Weezer stopped being emo.
I’d say Pinkerton, or even The Blue Album would better fit that description.
I saw a lot of people's comments including myself wanting a 2010s videos. I don't know if i wanted it at all, but due to you guys celebrating 10 years of the History of Rock and Roll, I can see why you would want to do the video. Either way, I'm excited for it to happen. The 2010s will be very interesting. I will be very surprised. Social media will definitely be talked about. The Internet has evolved onto our phones, and we would be listening to music on Spotify, Apple Music and RUclips Music. I'm not sure if the 2012 Olympics will be talked about, but The Who was the closing band for the closing ceremony. They were unfortunately the last band to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show as they would go back to popular artists performing at the halftime show. It's not about talent. It's about money.
I forgot to mention some of the garage rock bands you mentioned like The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Black Keys and The Hives are fan favorites on Little Steven's Underground Garage. They play older bands of the 60s and newer bands of the 2000s and 2010s, which would made a huge appeal to me. The Ramones get played on here a lot as well. They play music that influenced The Ramones, The Ramones, and bands influenced The Ramones.
MySpace was the first social media page before Facebook. I'm not sure if it's not around anymore, but it has been downhill.
I would like to add Alter Bridge to the list which is rocking hard to this day.
my kids are gonna be so happy to see this! love the disclaimer
another great episode! Can't wait for the 2010s
Hey JT...just finished your whole history of rock series...really enjoyed it and learned a few things too, thanks for all this effort and work....I am a fellow Beatles / Floyd nut down in New Orleans....you may dig some of my tunes...they are filled with The Beatles influence...swing by the channel...and I too was in a host of Beatle tribute bands going back to the late 80s....have. a gig today where im sure ill pull out a bunch....was just tying to memorize walrus for the 100th time...ha.....Thanks again for the great content....really enjoyed....and although we were born in different years I have come to MANY of the same conclusions as you....fascinating! Rock on! Mike
Evanescence is my favorite 2000's band😂😍👌🏻 Y'all cannot deny Amy's hauntingly beautiful voice, and now that they have become independent artists, they are rocking more than ever!🥸
if you do the 2010s please consider these bands - converge, protest the hero, every time i die, meshuggah, dillenger escape plan, lamb of god, and other hardcore/ metal scenes
If I would have added a record to this list, it'd have been Bee Gees' This Is Where I Come In. It was their last release and had a much more stripped down, acoustic sound that someone I know likened to Three Doors Down.
The Hives are the best band to come out the 2000’s. The Interpol debut is a must for any post punk fan . A few bands you missed , and I realize you’re staying fairly mainstream, but here are some of my favs , Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, LCD Soundsystem,The Kills, Editors,The Walkman, Eagles of Death Metal, Doves and perhaps the best post punk album ever The Horrors 2009 release “ Primary Colours”
Most definitely do the 2010’s , best decade since the 80’s!
Late 90s early 2k, I was all about what came to be known as Stoner Rock- Kyuss/Queens, Fu Manchu/ Nebula, Sleep/ High on Fire etc..
The 2010s should be talked about even if rock didn't flourish as much.
Built to Spill, Stephen Malkmus, The Shins, Broken Social Scene, Fleet Foxes, The Fratellis, Phoenix, The Postal Service, SuperChunk was still going.
The 2000's had good indie
Billy Talent is my personal favourite band of that era. Maybe you had to be there in Canada at the time? Anyway, Ian D'Sa is great at crafting memorable and intricate Drop D parts, and it's kinda cool how they fused elements of At The Drive-In with a more poppy sound for the first album, and then for the next couple albums they branched off even more to make some really melodic stuff.
We need a full version of "Rock The Magical Beat"
Agreed.
You're in luck. We actually have one
Looking at this video in retrospective, I don’t think rock had died, more so, mainstream rock was dying, with pop punk already being popular in the late 90’s, some indie, underground acts started to gain momentum in the 2000’s.
Despite that, these artists didn’t have the public’s attention or the sudden legacy some of the more popular artists gained.
Which is why I think we should check artists like: The Microphones, Have a Nice Life, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Flaming Lips and even others you mentioned like Interpol, Queens of the Stones Age and Modest Mouse.
Another thing I’d like to mention is that you said that all of the rock doesn’t sound bluesy anymore, a characteristic spotted in the early years of rock and while I too myself love blues rock, the genres change overtime and what once was a part of the genre might be totally scrapped by others because they simply want to create their own sounds, worlds and music. I also think hip hop has been going through drastic changes, what once was popular in the 90’s like gangsta rap and hardcore hip hop is now reduced and we hear more trap influenced music, things just change!
I have watched your whole series going through the decades of rock music and I have really enjoyed it all!
However, as a guy who grew up in the 2000s and is really into rock, I'm a bit surprised that you very quickly glossed over Arctic Monkeys, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest acts of the late 2000s (in England anyway) even though they didn't break into the States until the next decade. Their first three albums were as rock as you could get from the 2000s.
Along with this, two bands that managed to carry their success over to the 2000s from the 90s were Radiohead and Red Hot Chilli peppers who both had critically acclaimed albums and received a lot on airplay in the early part of the decade.
Other then this, you did a great job covering the 2000s, especially emo, which was a kind of new rock sub genre that was introduced and reached popularity in the later part of the decade.
You forgot a few bands. Shinedown, Alien Ant Farm, Crossfade, and Saliva to name a few. Great rundown overall but the previous mentioned bands were instrumental in my 20's.
Any plans on covering the 2010s history of Rock & Roll?
here's my list of 2010s artists that i recognized by the way:
Tame Impala
MGMT
Imagine Dragons
The 1975
Twenty One Pilots
