2007 is going to wind up being the best, I think, but I chose 2005.

You know, I think I am going with 2005 and 2nd place to 2004 as well.

2005 had my "We Belong Together," "Since U Been Gone," "Be My Escape, and "Touch"

2004 had songs that I enjoyed like "Toxic," "Dip It Low," "With You," and "Leave" (Get Out)

I believe Rachel Stevens as a solo artist came about in the 2004/2005 era as well as Utada's American debut in '04.

2003.

1. 2003
2. 2006
3. 2000

Let's see. 2003 pwns all because it's the year I was introduced to a lot of music because of Kworb and because I finally got an internet connection. We had No Doubt's GH, Ludacris' first #1 hit, Sean Paul invasion and countless summer anthems like Crazy in Love, My Love is Like Wo etc.

That's basically why the year was awesome. COUNTLESS is the right word.

Damn, I'm the only one [thus far] who thinks 2001 was the best year for music? No, Korn did not release an album that year, but still, a lot of good music: 311 [From Chaos], Tool [Lateralus], Incubus [Morning View], P.O.D. [Satellite], System of a Down [Toxicity], among others.

But I guess every year has its fair share of good music. 2001 just sticks out the most to me since that's when I really got into rock.

2003, it was a personal year for me! So many memories, especially that summer!

2004, The Queen of Pop was active, also 2000, 20001, and 2005, but her greatests hits were in 2004
