Best new wave songs of the 2000s
The industry lost control of distribution and the music got stranger for it. Blogs did the job radio used to do. The South took the charts outright, and Kanye West began a run of reinventions that outlasted the decade he started it in.

One great song, one bad album
Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
