Thread sponsored by Espresso, a song I am loving this year just two years after the rest of y’all

Billie Eilish- bad guy

Passenger- Let Her Go

I didn't get 'Here (In Your Arms)' by Hellogoodbye at the time but love it now!

Most of the early singles by The Smiths fit here for me.

A lot of nu metal and pop punk from the early 00s.

Maybe it's nostalgia, but I really couldn't abide a lot of it growing up but now I've really realised what a moment in time that was that is sorely missed in the mainstream now. Puddle of Mudd and Papa Roach spring to mind.

I Love You, I’m Sorry by Gracie Abrams is a big one for me. It grew on me massively randomly like 2 months in

Megadeth - A Tout le Monde

Otto Knows - Million Voices

"Tha Crossroads" by Bone Thugs N Harmony. I couldn't really take to the rap singing style at first but when it came on the music channels a few years later I started to love it and ended up buying some of their albums.

So many songs from my 00s playlist tbh. A non-exhaustive list lol:

Scissor Sisters - Laura / I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’

Girls Aloud - Long Hot Summer

Rihanna - If It’s Lovin’ That You Want

Good Charlotte - Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous

Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick

James Blunt - 1973

Jem - They

Sugababes - Round Round

Keane - Is It Any Wonder?

Nelly Furtado - Powerless (Say What You Want)

blink-182 - All The Small Things

Mini Viva - Left My Heart in Tokyo

Alphabeat - Fascination

Gwen Stefani - Luxurious

Ms. Dynamite - Dy-Na-Mi-Tee

DJ Sammy - The Boys of Summer

t.A.T.u. - Not Gonna Get Us

Kelly Clarkson - Judas

Another one from my Summer playlist is Foundations by Kate Nash. Didn’t get it at the time really and only began listening to it a couple of years ago

Alexandra Burke - Bad Boys is a glowing example, hated it when it was released but absolutely love it now.

In recent tunes, I absolutely hated Dominic Fike - White Keys but it just randomly clicked with me one day after it left the charts, now I’m constantly listening to it 😅 Babydoll is still awful though.
