There are a few difficult things I find about writing these music posts. First, there are too many songs to mention. I try to pick ones that bring back a memory or that I think had an impact that year (good and bad). Second, sometimes the different music charts don't sync up. I discovered that some songs that charted in Canada, charted the year before in the US, so I might be off by a year.
2003: MySpace is launched and was destined to become the social media platform for the ages...or at least a few years, Lord of the Rings set the standard for very long movies, we all found Nemo, and...
...the Earth's population was a meager 6 billion.
Shania Twain grew up in the northern Ontario town of Timmins. You probably haven't heard of it if you are not from Canada. You probably haven't heard of this next guy either:
But I'm sure you know this group, wherever you are.
I can't believe this song is 20 years old:
Not a huge Death Cab fan, but they have put out some good tunes from time to time.
What do you get when you mix Blink-182, Good Charlotte, and Simple Plan?
I think that this is in contention to be one of the greatest covers ever.
In closing, do you remember this gem?
