You're from a small town
You're gonna grow up fast
Underneath these lights

If they come back
They'll come home stronger
And if they don't
You'll know

A very difficult year, seemed that time was always not enough.
In music, electronic songs became more constant. The most important fact was the discovery of the music.download.com site, source of many "hits" of that and the following years.

The 20 most significative songs for me were:

20 - Beast of Buddha - The Day Ends An obscure electronic song I found on download.com
19 - Yellowcard - Breathing Is this EMO? Shame on me...
18 - Pixies - Here Comes Your Man A "shiny happy" song
17 - At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor Yes, I was kinda indie that time. Blame it on "Brasil 2000" radio station
16 - The Stranglers - Nice 'n' Sleazy This song had a very good organ solo. And a bizarre videoclip
15 - Rogério Skylab - Fátima Bernardes This song made me change my mind about Skylab. Only then I could discover the genius inside him
14 - The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army Very catchy song. Nowadays, I think everyone knows it. And got bloated of it - except the Italians
13 - Os Mutantes - Minha Menina Maybe their first album (where this song is inclued) be the best album made in Brazil ever
12 - The Underdog Project - Summer Jam That song made me like dance/techno again. I still don't know whether it's good or not
11 - Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit A very good song of theirs, a bit different from the others, lacking of rap parts and usual shouts
10 - The Doors - People Are Strange They are right: people ARE strange
09 - Pixies - Where Is My Mind? The opposite of the other song of theirs in this list: instead of shinny happiness, dark despair
08 - New Order - Blue Monday Yeah, I was slightly caught by the 80's nostalgia
07 - Roger Pontare - När vindarna viskar mitt namn Nice swedish song. It is very strong. And the singer's clothes are fun
06 - Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World A good song with a terrible spinning video
05 - DJ Ross - Emotion A dance song that is way too better than the average
04 - 311 - Beautiful Disaster Their best song, in my opinion. It has a very good riff
03 - Steve Negus - Humble Stance His version for this SAGA song was the first song I found in music.download.com that I really liked. And that would change a lot my musical life
02 - O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei This song was a big hit all around the world that year. It couldn't be different to me
01 - Eels - I Need Some Sleep Sleep was all that I really needed in those hard times

I wanna do the lyrics test too *O*!

Comment, listing the number, name, and artist of the song, to guess which ones they are.

Schon oft hat man alte BRAVO Hits-CDs gefunden, entstaubt und sich für die Trackliste hinten geschämt, dass man sich sowas mal gekauft hat oder aber entzückt in den alten CD-Player geschmissen und den Klassikern gelauscht. Den Kopf geschüttelt oder aber sich gefreut hat man sich beim misslungenen Comeback von Tic Tac Toe oder Haddaways Comeback-Versuch in der Pro7-Show.
Doch es gibt immer wieder Künstler, bei denen weiß man nicht, was sie heute machen, was sie nach ihrem Hit gemacht haben und überhaupt. Eine kurze Auflistung soll es hier geben:

Snow: Na, wer kennt den Kanadier noch? "Informer"? Und den Rest des Songs hat sowieso kein Mensch dieser Welt WIRKLICH verstanden. Ein weißer Kanadier und Ragga? Das funktioniert einfach nicht - sollte man meinen, aber "Informer" war dennoch ein ultimativer Hit. Wer bei wikipedia.de nach Snow sucht, wird erfahren, dass er sein Album "12 Inches of Snow" zwar aufnahm, den Erfolg allerdings nur gesiebt mitbekam, da er aufgrund Körperverletzung im Gefängnis saß. Dort steht auch, dass er erst 2004 wieder in die USA einreisen durfte, was ihn als Kanadier vielleicht in seiner Karriere behinderte, sonst aber herzlich wenig gestört haben dürfte. Weiterhin ist von einem Album namens "Two Hands Clapping" die Rede, an welchem er angeblich gerade werkelt. Angeblich deswegen, weil dies 2002 schon längst erschien, allerdings nur wie auch seine anderen Werke (etwa "Mind on the Moon") überall floppte, außer in Japan und Jamaika. Snow arbeitet allerdings tatsächlich wieder an einem neuen Album, dies soll im nächsten Jahr erscheinen.

Prince Ital Joe: Geboren in der Dominikanischen Republik hatte Joe Paquette viele Hits zusammen mit "Marky Mark" Wahlberg. Ja, dem Schauspieler. Ja, der Typ, der absolute Ähnlichkeiten zu John Cena hat, bzw. John Cena zu ihm (und beide rein zufällig aus dem Bundesstaat Massachusetts stammen. Ja, der Typ, dessen Bruder Donnie Wahlberg auch Schauspieler ist ("The Sixth Sense", "Saw II") und früher bei den New Kids on the Block war. Prince Ital Joe war zusammen mit Marky Mark um 1995 unglaublich erfolgreich, z.B. mit "United" oder "Babylon", dann hörte man lange nichts mehr vom Reggae-Künstler. Leider verstarb er schon 2001 bei einem Autounfall.

Kris Kross: Wer die Todesgerüchte von "Steve Urkel" Jaleel White kennt, der im Übrigen noch lebt, und diese für das verückteste im Showbusiness hält, der kennt wohl noch nicht das Todesgerücht von Kris Kross. Um die beiden Knaben, deren Trademark es war, sich Klamotten falsch herum anzuziehen, rankt sich nämlich folgendes Gerücht: Angeblich soll einer der Beiden ein Motorrad mit einem Helm, den er sich falsch herum aufgesetzt hat, gegen einen Baum gegurkt haben. Tod inklusive. Ist natürlich Blödsinn, sowohl Chris "Daddy Mack" Smith und Chris "Mack Daddy" Kelly leben noch. Das Duo, deren größter Hit "Jump" war, hat sich mittlerweile aufgelöst. Beide wollen schon ewig den Sprung zurück ins Rap-Business wagen, schafften es aber noch nicht. Entdeckt wurden die Beiden übrigens von Jermaine Dupri.

Toni Cottura: Was war er für ein Held. Er war mit Fun Factory ein Hit-Garant, er pushte die Backstreet Boys mit seiner Collabo "Get Down", sowie *NSYNC mit "U Drive Me Crazy" zum Erfolg. Mit dem Label Booya Music bringt er Nana, Pappa Bear, Van Der Toorn, Alex Prince (aktuell auf dem letzten Fettes Brot-Album auf "Kuba" vertreten) und A.K.-S.w.i.f.t. ins Rampenlicht. Mit dem Underdog Project schafft er mit „Summer Jam“ zwar ein One-Hit-Wonder, aber einen der größten Sommerhits Deutschland. Und dann war er plötzlich weg. Nachdem er jahrelang im Rampenlicht stand.
Was machte Herr Cottura denn dann? - Er produzierte. BRO’SIS freuten sich, dank den Hits, die Cottura ihnen schrieb, zusammen mit DJ Shahin bildet er Seven Gemini und kreiert Remixe für Künstler wie Lil' Kim oder Bootsy Collins. Auch ans Mikrofon wagte er sich noch einmal, 2003 mit „Fly“. Ein Radiohit, kein kommerzieller Erfolg. Heutzutage wird Toni Cottura wahrscheinlich immer noch Songs produzieren. Vielleicht sollte man sich mal die Credits der Popstars-Scheiben angucken.
Interessante Sidestory: Cottura war mit Daisy Dee verheiratet (Club Rotation), die die Schwester von Pappa Bear ist. Wie klein die Welt doch ist.

Nana: Gerade erwähnt, jetzt schon Thema. Wenn einer der Star des gängigen Euroraps war, dann Nana Abrokwa. "Darkman", "Lonely", "Let It Rain", "He's Comin"... von 1996 bis 1998 war nahezu jeder Song seines ersten und zweiten Albums ("Nana" und "Father") ein Hit. Und dann verschwand er. Irgendwer - ich glaube es war die BRAVO - meldete, Nana säße im Knast. Möglich ist es, allerdings nahm er auch so noch zwei weitere Album bei Cotturas Label "Booya Music" auf. Rechtliche Probleme - oder aber auch gänzliches Desinteresse am Eurorap, da sich die Hörer langsam Deutschrappern wie den Beginnern, Eins Zwo und 5 sterne deluxe zuwendeten - zwangen Nana zum Umdenken. 2001 erschien "Du wirst sehen", Nana auf Deutsch. Floppte, wobei ein Remix des Songs verdammt geil war. Der Mann hatte wirklich was drauf, muss man im Nachhinein sagen. Sein geplantes zweisprachiges Album "Global Playa" erschien dank seiner Plattenfirma nie und Nana verschwand erneut.
Ein neues Lebenszeichen gab es 2004, als Nana erst sein beim eigenen Label ("Darkman Records") produziertes Album "All Doors In Flight No. 7" veröffentlichte (SonyBMG wollte es ebenfalls später promoten und veröffentlichen, geschah aber nie) und Nana zudem Willi Herren beim Promiboxen die Fresse polierte. Wieder zwei Jahre Funkstille schlossen sich an, im Frühjahr meldete sich Nana aber abermals zurück. Kansas wurden gecovert mit "I Close My Eyes (Dust In The Wind)". Nana macht also immer noch Musik und versucht an seine Erfolge von vor 10 Jahren anzuknüpfen.

Der Wolf: Keinen Schimmer. Letztes Lebenszeichen war "Was soll ich sagen", sowie, dass er von Kool Savas bei "Das Urteil" erwähnt wurde, zusammen mit "Reen" MC René, Nina MC und so weiter.. Gebt mir Infos, ich will wissen, was Der Wolf heute macht ;)
