2000s Alternative, Punk and Deep-Cut Pop Gems
April 12, 2017
The 2000s — I know, not as catchy as saying the “80s” or “90s” and I never bought into using that “Aughts” shit — was a pretty solid decade for music that strongly appealed to Jeff Lyons. Take a listen to the jams below, dance around a bit, and when you are done and completely exhausted, hydrate (a couple of blue Powerades should do the trick)! Then after a quick cat nap, travel back in time and visit my Best of The 80s and Best of The 90s lists. Follow me at @usedwigs for more exceptional nostalgia and quality workday distractions.
