Best of the decade

What has happened to the noughties. It seems that the last decade has just disappeared into thin air and gone somewhere else. In the music industry and music video culture what has truly been the best of the decade? Do you think that the best of the decade has been the introduction of bands such as the artic monkeys or other good musicians and bands. 10 years really is a long time and when I ask you if you think that Coldplay are the best of the decade you might laugh. Yes I know its hard to believe that 10 years ago you could run away screaming those Coldplay lyrics and no one would know what you were talking about. As a matter of fact they probably would have been getting together then, thinking about starting the group or even in other groups of there own, living on council estates.

Golly gosh how time can change things, the things you do in it are so important. I think they truly are the best of the decade in some ways. There music was definitely the best of the decade, next to other artists such as Jay-Z and a few other. Many people talk about like they have been doing there “thing” forever but 10 years ago people who not have know who you were talking about. Is Obama the best of the decade? Its also hard to understand that even 3 years ago you could ask the majority of people who he was and people would just stare cluelessly into your face tell you that “I think ive heard of him” when they haven’t, they’re lying lol. Are there any other things that you think you may be the best of the decade.

It really seems to me like the noughties lacked identity of the 70s 80s and even the 90s, this is why it is so hard to pick something which you can call the best of the decade. This applies to any industry other than music really, there was definitely a lack of identity for the last 10 years. Then again did people say that same thing in the 80s. May you never really realise how different an era is unless you are far removed and away from it, unless you have moved on. But I still stand by the fact that picking a best of the decade is hard thing to do. Maybe next decade things will be different.
