Pink with an exclamation mark looks to be gearing up for a big European tour. July 3rd in Paris.

Could see her taking ‘the Katy Perry slot’ (if you’ll excuse me) but it’s probably about 10 years too late for anyone to care.

Oh I thought she was pretty well respected? I dunno. Dead cert for BST anyway.

‘Respected’ yeah but firmly a legacy act. Not sure why she’d be booked these days unless Emily was a particular fan of that song which wimped out of being a criticism of Trump (and indeed could easily be read as pro-Trump/anti-Obama). Also, she headlined V two years ago so placing her would be interesting.

Anyway, yeah, dunno.

Is ‘Get The Party Started’ the most 2000’s song?

American Idiot by Green Gartside and the lads wants a word.

That was released two days before 9/11. What a momentous week.

I’ll raise you Gnarls Barkley...

If there was a rock song for the 00’s it was U2 - Vertigo. But that doesn’t even come close to P!nk’s Missundaztood masterpiece.

I thought Beautiful Day was more ubiquitous if we’re talking U2 dirge of the 00’s.

Hey Ya by OutKast needs to be up there to for the title of most 00’s song.

Both good shouts. Forgot about Beautiful Day. And Elevation. Man, U2 really had a.moment in the front half of the decade didn’t they?

[Gucci Piggy]

Wasn't Beautiful Day the intro music to some football highlights show back in the day? Pretty sure that's how I heard of U2.

Edit: Yeah, The Premiership.

"The Premiership" on ITV when BBC lost the rights for a couple of years. Bad times.

[Odessa]

My mate put Vertigo on at about 3am last night weirdly. I don't remember enjoying it in the past but it's alright tbh.

That’s the one about a mole isn’t it?

No that’s Elevation. The natural prequel to Vertigo.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It was when U2 entered the noughties phase of their set that the wheels came off.

I'm pretty sure they're all the same song.

That U2 set was one of the most unremittingly bleak two hours of my life.

Was way sooner than that. When One started and the rain was louder than the band the game was up.

Looking at their nowadays set, you didn’t know you had it so good.

[Gnomicide]

All That You Can't Leave Behind is a great album apart from Beautiful Day which I really dislike.

 

[Xeph1995]

Supermassive black whole has a shout for 00s rock song, heard that everywhere. I guess 06 puts it a bit late in the naughties though.

Think were forgetting Seven Nation Army
