People forget that Smooth by Rob Thomas and Santana briefly became the national anthem of the US in the early 2000s. I’ll never forget right after 9/11 they had a moment of silence at ground zero and then blasted Smooth over the loudspeakers
Dude it was a wack time. I'm never forgetting the BAFFLING image of bedroom-eyes, shirt-unbuttoning Enrique Inglesias singing "Hero" whispily as a 9/11 tribute while crowds cheer him on. It was nuts.
@@TheKeeperofChaos Damn I had forgotten about some of that. Those first few weeks right after 9/11 were indescribably weird in regards to pop culture and celebrities and just the amount of marketing. The evening of 9/11 Fred Meyer already had God Bless America shirts out and my mom bought some and made me and my sister wear them to school. Lol. Remember those safety pin beaded broach things everyone made at after school programs and youth groups and shit? People made so much money with 9/11 merch.
Smooth at E and Savage Garden at A is an indefensible position.
America is a simulation
This is the most interesting comment in the thread to me.
The song obviously didn’t continue it’s popularity and I was 5 when 9/11 happened. It’s extremely interesting when you were alive but don’t remember the music at all
i need a fantano rendition of the chorus to remind me of these songs for every episode, please.

yes!!
I'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks Smooth was one of the best pop songs of the 2000s. Totally deserved all those grammys it won that year. Santana had one of the best comebacks ever in music imo.
Agreed
hell yeah brother and that track with chad kroeger was even better
@@zcl812 yeah agreed
@@zcl812 Check out Masayoshi Takanaka, a friend of Santana who also makes great guitar surf music
@@lightmyst764 Takanaka is the man
Smooth has the best guitar solos/ licks to be featured in a top chart track after the 70's . What Santana did was phenomenal. Banger lick after banger lick. I listened to it again now and I am totally mind-blown .
On god, that part in the solo with the fucking fast ass tremolo picking gets me every time, shit's so fucking tasty
fr giving it an F is crazy
Perfect example of why I don’t care about Melon’s opinion any more. He just has so many biases and blind spots he’s not interested in fixing.
Never have I thought somebody should improve themselves for having different opinions on music to me.
@@Malkin2004 it’s not about relationship to my own opinion. As a reviewer, you should try to put bias aside and judge things objectively own their merits. He really fails at that.
These hits-by-year ranking vids are my fav content on RUclips rn! So glad you’re keeping it going after finishing the 2010s!!
Next he should predict what the hits will be in the late 2020s
Oooh, Let it Die pic, nice. I'm more of a Metals man myself, but Let it Die is still amazing
Agreed :) fun to get nostalgic and see how music has progressed
we also need something but Billboard. Cause american music taste is just meh
Yes Anthony,we're now in the year 2022 so 2000's were indeed a different time. That is correct.
Can we get a fact check on this?
@@hermanzachau3909 the experts say the numbers do add up
Is this true? Big if true.
Fantano fans: the most unfunny comment section on the internet strikes again
This is dangerous misinformation. The FBI is on their way
i got my braces taken off while listening to a matchbox twenty album on the orthodontist office's CD player so i associate rob thomas' voice with new beginnings
Inspiring
Okay but do you remember the album cause this story has me curious 🤨😂
Imagine hearing "Bent" while the dentist tells you your teeth are bent.
Crazy that Smooth by Santana featuring Matchbox 20 of Rob Thomas was the first piece of music to ever be created
I liked Maria Maria. I thought Smooth was okay.
I remember. It . Was . Everywhere
Fantano videos are the gifts that always give. Been a viewer for over a decade now somehow and have just as much fun watching your content as I ever have.
Same! ❤️
me too!
every day is christmas when you a fantano subscriber
His content only gets better tbh
@@cheesybirdmess7349 fr quality and quantity
The Smooth slander will not be tolerated
Smooth by Santana & Rob Thomas: "Oh boy, now this will be an S tier for SURE. One of the best pop songs ever made!"
Anthony: "I HATE this song."
oh.
Savage Garden walked so 21 Savage could run
Your opinion on Smooth caught me by surprise, totally valid reasons to not like the song, but I still think it’s a certified banger
Come on now, smooth was a jam and you know it
As a Latino, I'm gonna defend Smooth as a great song with a great guitar lick, I still hear it played today (mostly from my parents and sometimes the radio)
Lol I laughed out loud when Fantano said he hates Smooth by Santana! I totally disagree! That song is one of the best pop songs ever! Yes the vocals lack, but the instrumentals and playing is all there and more. Awesome and legendary track!
The guitar sound is so damn good on that track, I love it. Absolute banger
Completely agree! I think even the vocals work within the context. It's a great song and it holds up.
The opening guitar riff is iconic for a reason. It's a great song! I audibly went "are you shitting me?!" when he said he hated it.
If you were born at or after the time it was released I can understand that. Otherwise...
The instrumental is pretty good and even great compared to modern mainstream rock,
However I can't stand the vocals, thank the lord that I was born in 1999 and i didn't have to deal with dudes singing like they just slept with their sister
Anthony's hatred of post grunge is becoming quite the staple of the channel
Probably the worst megapopular subgenre of all time.
Butt Rock!
Agree! I found it too harsh when Melon said “With kurt cobains pleasant suicide I am disappointed that any other grunge artist haven’t followed his path” really harsh Melon.
For those that don't know, Maria Maria was written and produced by Wyclef Jean from The Fugees.
I'm here for some savage garden appreciation. I always find listening to music at the end/beginning of a decade really interesting because it shows how much of a gradient it really is, late 90s you can start to hear the beginnings of what 2000s music will become and early 00s you can hear the 90s lingering.
“To the Moon and Back” still bumps in the whip.
@MaxSnow24. Yeah 2000 to 2003 was still riding the wave of the 90’s. The 00’s musically didn’t arrive until 2004 and music has sucked ever since.
@@nu-metalfan2654 Yes! I remember that 90s rock songs and music from that era in general was still getting MAJOR play on the radiostations in my area until 2004 like you said when the new musical wave arrived.
All the cover pictures on these singles made me nostalgic for the 90s. Except for Joe which looks totally early 2000s, and the Santana covers which I feel are a picture of their time because I could see them in the 95 but they'd also not be out of place if they'd been released with that album art in 05.
To the Moon and Back is where it's at.
I've always liked Smooth, even when I was a little kid. I love songs with funny/distinct vocals that I can impersonate to make myself laugh. Rob provided me with exactly that. Plus it gives me memories of a childhood holiday in Greece where they played it every few minutes.
Smooth in E tier is genuinely the most I’ve ever disagreed with you
Smooth is S TEIR you are crazy. The groove is THERE and the singing works for the song. ANTHONY
Agreed!
Tell em!
Agree
Nah he's right robb Thomas ruins it, it need more than him
Smooth is the only track ever that is on two different Billboard decade-end lists.That is insane
The love for Savage Garden and dislike for Smooth is a reminder that you always have to expect the unexpected!!
Nah Smooth slaps you're CAPPING
At least Smooth > Maria Maria, but that's just my opinion, I guess...
I hated that song when I was ten, and I feel worse about it now
It sucks gucka
100%. Melon missed hard with this one
FACTS
Savage Garden is the band I wonder about the most these days. They had like 4-5 hits, legit hits, and then just nothing else? Who else has had a run like that? Normally its 1 hit, maaaayyyybbe 2 and then you're out. They were like a 3-year wonder. I always felt they were quite good.
And Darren Hayes new album is pretty great, especially All You Pretty Things, the full track > over the edit :D
The Fray had a pretty similar run.
@@Setashi i went into the deep dive to see... Fray had those 2 big hits and then got nominated for a grammy for a way lesser song later but that was about it. Savage charted i think 6 songs off 2 records in 3 year span then broke up. Joy division?
By the end of 2001 Daniel Jones was working full time on his doctorate degree in Maritime Law at UC Berkeley to complete his PhD. In an earlier interview on NPR from 1996 he expressed a fascination with modern shipping and what happens to shipping containers that fall off of ships in international waters. He wanted to know who was responsible for all those missing containers and decided to per-sue a career in litigating with admiralty procedure in the admiralty jurisdiction of the district courts. By the middle of 2001, Darren Hayes had moved himself and his boyfriend, including his boyfriends immediate family members to a ranch in northern Montana to start breeding miniature Yorkshire terriers and Australian Silky terriers for the upcoming Fédération Cynologique Internationale / World Dog Show in 2022. All of his time was devoted to raising an estimated 400+ pure bred terriers at his farm with no inbreeding. The music took a back seat to their new found hobbies and by the end of 2001 they had completely parted ways and haven’t talk to each other sense.
Savage Garden was huge in Australia and New Zealand. There music still gets played here. Darren ended up going solo. I think he still does make music
The revelation of Melon's pro Savage Garden stance is literally all I could have asked for Christmas.
Anthony you’re breaking my heart here. Matchbox Twenty does not deserve the disdain you show it lol
Matchbox 20 is like toothless creed that makes better hooks
@@H1V3M1ND1 That last part of your statement alone made them better than Creed.
I mean Rob's voice can be pretty grating if you're not in the mood for it, and considering how insanely overplayed ALL their songs were back then, I can understand why Fantano is traumatized by them.
@@H1V3M1ND1they’re nothing like creed. Matchbox 20 is more like Third Eye Blind or Counting Crows
@@gut853 m20 and RT are the rock version of Maroon 5.
Smooth is a huge bop melonboi.......
Fun fact: "Breathe" by Faith Hill is also one of only four songs to be the biggest song of its year without hitting #1 on the Billboard charts (the others are "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs in 1965, "Hanging by a Moment" by Lifehouse in 2001, and "Levitating" by Dua Lipa in 2021).
2000 was definitely an interesting time, I'm 27 now, it's crazy how time flies by. I do occasionally look at stuff from the early 2000s when I want my nostalgia fix.
Help! I'm approaching 30
@@aliveslice Let's start an almost 30 group, we'll all help prepare each other for our 30s
I'm 27 as well. I like to go back to sum 41 and blink 182 lol
@@individual_thought_pattern3288 knocking on that 30 door too.... eeep
@@abelramirez7320 I'm more of a progressive rock and metal guy, but I remember I saw a compilation of old 2000s commercials like six months ago, the nostalgia hit so hard lol.
I’m sorry but smooth is awesome, it’s also a blast to play if you’re a guitarist. He also has a lick at the end that plays homage to Parliament’s Flashlight
Bro smooth goes so hard
Damn I love smooth unfortunate
JAIL TIME for putting Smooth in E
It's hard to describe how prominent Smooth was and I will never understand why. Not a bad track imo but the overplay was insane
_“I'd rather be listening to Grammy-Award winning 1999 hit "Smooth" by Santana feat. Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty”_
- Nicholas Kula, 2015
Yeah it was probably played more frequently than Despacito & Old Town Road combined
Maybe the reason I enjoy it so much is because I was too young to remember the overplay
I think it’s because it managed to get airplay on pop, alt rock, modern rock and classic rock stations all at once
@@jasper3706 totally. I love the song, but I can totally see how grating robs vocals in it would be after so much overplay.
Bruh Faith Hills Breathe chorus slaps so freaking hard. My mom used to sing this song in the car when it was on the radio. Actually makes me a little emotional listening to it now.
As an Aussie, very grateful for the Savage Garden love! One of my fav artists as a kid/teen lol

LOL I love smooth but I was also a year deep into my life long relationship with my husband on a road trip and getting into jambands after a life of punk rock and so everything sounded good. Smooth is so epic.
No Smooth slander >:(
Nah fam Smooth is a banger
“E-tier for Smooth” the new “6.0 for MBDTF”
Ah yes, 2000 Aka 1999 part 2. Good times.
Also heck yeah for the Savage Garden respect. Their music is way better than I expected going back to it, quality stuff.
yeah the 90s didn't really end until the thing in 2001
They do have a pretty cool catalogue of music - my favourite of theirs is I Want You, a song that has this cool yet spooky synth lead, the vocals are alluring and definitely a song worth checking out.
You know 2000 was a different time when the very first discussion in the top ten most succesful singles list is a straight up unambiguous R&B song by someone who can actually sing
I desperately want a whole album with fantano singing like Rob Thomas in Smooth
You didn’t have to do Rob Thomas and MB20 like that 😭😭😭
i’m glad melon is doing the 2000s, these tier list videos have been really interesting
You’re wrong actually, 2000 is the same time :)
"Breathe" by Faith Hill only peaked at #2 and never hit #1 on the Hot 100. Yet, it was the number 1 song of the year because of how long it stayed on the charts.
Say My Name by Destiny's Child was the song, at least to my memory, that launched them into stardom.
I will forever love the song Smooth. It might be nostalgia but I have never been put off by Rob Thomas vocals so maybe that helps me. I also think matchbox twenty are pretty good too, not great but harmless. Certainly not bad. Although I will admit I never liked the single ‘Bent’ either.
Same
Yep I feel the same way about matchbox twenty!
Exactly. In my opinion, MB20 is the quintessential pop rock band, from the era that defined pop rock. Their songs are extremely ear wormy but the lyrics and delivery are unique and interesting. And I love the guys voice. I never associated Rob's vocals with Post Grunge vocal sound. I feel like a lot of singers that do Kroeger or Daughtry voice are doing an impression of masculinity. Like "signaling" a gruffness and strength, and that's where the cringe comes from. Rob's not doing that. Rob's voice has this almost feminine and alien quality to it. It's weird in the best way. For being the most popular pop band in the world at one point, and having instrumental production that's mostly by the numbers, there is something off and delightfully strange about their sound that comes through in the lyrics and delivery. That's all Rob.
@@AJGoldie Thank you!!
@@jamisonlamkin5576 I know right? I feel like Rob Thomas is one of the most underrated pop songwriters. His best songs are like little mathematical puzzles- evocative and unique lyrics, but perfectly fit and abstracted into a pop structure. I take a lot of influence from that in my own songwriting.
You hate smooth! Thats a twist I didnt see coming. Its a fun song
Wow. It is very much not a hot one, like 7 inches from the midday sun
Trash take Anthony, Smooth is godly
Remembering the early 2000s, artists like Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Bilal, Jill Scott, etc come to mind. One of the best eras for R+B/soul imo. It's a shame that the movement kind of became a caricature of itself when everybody including McDonald's tried to capitalize on it. I understand why a lot of people like Raphael Saadiq and Jaguar Wright ended up rejected the Neo soul label, but that's one of the most nostalgic times for me. R+B became a lot more bland after that.
Girl you’ve got a 10pc pls don’t be stingyyyyy
When Rob Thomas drops into your DMs like Drake for all this disrespect, you'll get no sympathy from me sir. (/s I'm just still blown away by the Drake situation, that was a lil wild) 😂😂😂😂
He Wasn't Man Enough was an amazing tune. That Dark Child production takes me back to my childhood. I miss that pop music sound.
Not sure which songs make the top 10 list for 2001, but 2001 had some really good songs. Stan, Survivor, Wasn’t Me, One More Time, Clint Eastwood, Ms. Jackson
Spoiler. None of them. Stan Clint Eastwood and One More Time never hit even weakly top 50
Smooth was an unbelievable hit back then. I was a junior in high school and everyone loved that song. Santana tried to replicate that album like 3 or 4 times to no avail.
Anthony is one of the best youtuber. I've been watching him since 2011 and he just keeps getting better
I don't care what anybody says smooth is the best song of that year, i think it might be my most streamed song on spotify.
Smooth may not be a cool song to like anymore, but it's still a jam.
@@nintendonut100 who gives a shit if it's cool or not? The only people who care about being cool are insecure, uncool people. Smooth rules.
Learning Fantano is a closet Savage Garden fan is honestly such a mindblowing fact to me. I would have never guessed it. They feel like the kind of act he would hate to be honest.
My mother was always playing her CDs in the house growing up and that SG CD was one of her faves so I have a lot of love for it. Honestly, they do have a lot of bangers, a lot of tracks much more interesting than IKILY. Gunning Down Romance went so hard to my little emo soul as a tween and Two Beds and a Coffee Machine remains an almost needlessly heartbreaking track about fleeing domestic abuse. Hell yeah we are very pro Savage Garden here.
early 2000's occupy this weird spot in my brain ... like, I know it was a long time ago now, but it still feels extremely recent. it's not until I listen to the classic albums from that era where I actually realize how long it's been.
Incredible to think for how long Beyoncé has been around and she keeps on putting out great music 🔥
Crazier how Santana was around since the 60s and has 2 chart toppers in 2000
@@Spongebob-lf5dn60s is crazy! Hopefully my favs stay in the game that long
Smooth might be my biggest guilty pleasure song ever
Anthony, you make my heart real, and I don't forget about it.
I don't know what this statement means.
Has he got you "all in a whirl" as Neil Sedaka used to say?
It means he makes feel love that u didn’t think was possible ya fruitcake
me neither but it makes so much sense
When Destiny’s Child started harmonizing Say My Name at Coachella 2018, I cried. They, and especially this song, became such a major part of my childhood.
"Don't you think the early 2000s seem so far away, eh" - Lorde, Mood Ring, Solar Power
Lowkey hoping he's gonna do the entire Hot 100 at this point 😭😭😭
I always forget Savage Garden was an international sensation and not just an Aussie thing. 🤣 It's a pity the two of them couldn't sort out their differences. Darren Hayes has a lot of solo hits that go hard, though
“To the Moon & Back” still bumps in the whip 🔥
I agree I have their first CD, I love their voices I get tingles all over each time.
I am super happy about the Savage Garden love. I love them, and always felt they were underrated.
Damn I can't believe fantano put "smooth" by Santana above Destiny Child and made his own S+ tier just for it 🤯
Destiny Child is some badass gangsta superstar shit
time to try to reawaken some lost childhood memories of songs that were constantly on the radio
Bubs!
Seeing smooth in e tier has finally made me understand how hypebeasts feel about the mbdtf review
bruhhh Bent by Matchbox 20 is really good,I was really obsessed with that song when I was 10 years old. Maria Maria and Smooth are also good and too catchy
I was in Kindergarten in 2000, so this was super fun to reminisce & also go through the songs I didn’t know!
SAVAGE GARDEN’S “I Knew I Loved You” IN THE A TIER?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
Didn't expect that Smooth hate wtf good song
Meme effect
Smooth to me is a banger. While I can see how some parts of the song are kinda meme-ey and annoying (especially when it came to being overplayed on the radio), but I still love it regardless.
Matchbox 20’s first album is pretty great, and their others have some decent songs
People make fun of them now, but they actually had some good songs. And like you say their first album is a solid banger.
I'd argue their second album was still quite good too all things considered, I like Bent personally because of the guitars that fantano hates so much tbh. Not as good as their first album, but still good.
@@crazierr5468 their first album is an 8, second is a 7, almost everything after is pretty mid.
@@nintendonut100 can't argue with that honestly. The first two is all they made to me and frankly, I think they're better off that way. They had some good songs after that point, but nothing memorable from start to finish.
@@crazierr5468 I have a nostalgic fondness for Unwell, but that's probably the only song I'd say is worth a damn that came after those two records.
Yes! the love for Savage Garden
Savage Garden A tier, and Smooth E tier. Wild. This is why I keep coming back to Anthony's lists. They are just so off-the-wall bizarre, with literally no rationale behind anything. Crazy entertaining in their arbitrariness and wrongness.
"Smooth" and Savage Garden's rank should be switched.🙄
So crazy not to see any hip hop or edm on the list compared to today. Definitely was a different era back then
And electric guitars with high gain/distortion being extremely prominent in many huge songs. Only just starting to barely make a comeback with some pop punk revival songs
@fckpeace2559Biggest song of that year in UK were Can we fix it by Bob the Builder no offense, but wtf?
12:18 Even as he's singing Smooth to make fun of it, I'm still enjoying it
I'm SO happy that we're doing the 2000s now! This is my decade, and getting to hear your opinions on all these songs is wonderful. Favorite part was you imitating Rob Thomas' voice. You singing 3 AM had me in tears XD. I had to go back and listen to Bent to see if I remembered it being that bad, and honestly what I realized is that I kept getting distracted by how hot 2000 Rob looks in the video that I barely even listened to the song's quality lol
2000s is my era too I'm looking forward to this series The good, The bad and The ugly of it 😁
The 2000’s music practically raised me so I can’t wait to belt out Britney, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce and P!nk as the videos keep coming !!!
Yeah same here
SHOCKED "oops i did it again" or any nysnc songs weren't on the top of this year end list!!!
That Lady Marmalade cover...
@@duane_313 I know! Isn’t that insane?🤯 You’re telling me freaking Lonestar outperformed Bye Bye Bye and Oops?
I don't think Britney or Christina managed to score an year-end top 10 on billboard hot 100. Beyonce did have a handful. P!nk has one. I'm a chart nerd sue me.
This is one of your best series. I really enjoy listening along to each track
I love that you love Savage Garden!! 😩💖💖💖💖💖💖 I am new to your channel, so this was the first video I’ve seen since you were on some other podcasts. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" and Savage Garden's "I Knew I Love You"; both A's . Perfect , no notes...
Anthony’s singing is something I didn’t know that I needed today. The humor in this video GOES!! 😅😅😅
Those little bits of text just flow by way to fast man like damn, you want me to read them or not!? 😂
smooth is an S tier song melon. I can't believe you would show it this much disrespect to such a sleek song. This song is as smooth as your rounded melon head. It's *so smooth*.
Smooth was my fav song when I was 8 years old holy crap that song went hard🔥
I don't think I've ever seen anyone pop off harder to I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden in my whole life, and I'm all about that energy.
i cannot fucking fathom the fact that this man put Smooth at a E tier this man doesn’t deserve to give his takes on music again
I was obsessed with Smooth back in the day
I’m not ready for Melon to rip into Drops of Jupiter for the 2001 ranking. As much as people hate it, it’s one of my personal favorite songs, deep fried chicken and all.
