A Rolling Stone norte-americana já havia divulgado a lista das 100 Maiores Músicas dos Anos 2000 em 2009, mas decidiu juntar tudo e colocar todo o arquivo online recentemente. Por mais que tenha alguns hits que realmente merecem destaque, chega a doer ver nessa lista diversos singles de Coldplay, Britney Spears a frente de Arcade Fire, Eminem e 50 Cent entre os 20 melhores…
Faltou músicas de Panda Bear e Animal Collective, Portishead, Grizzly Bear e mais do TV On The Radio – só para citar alguns. Parece que os editores decidiram fechar em um número limitado de artistas e foram funilando, deixando muita coisa boa de fora.
Vamos à lista:
