My Top 300 Songs of the 2000s – The Top Ten
Today I conclude my ongoing feature showcasing my personal picks for the best songs of the past decade, posting the final ten songs.
10. Justin Timberlake – SexyBack (feat. Timbaland)
JT’s sophomore solo album was miles different from the R&B-influenced debut Justified. Â For one, it was dirtier, sexier, raunchier. Â Timberlake had all but washed himself clean of the boy band label he had established in ‘NSync, and on the other side was a sharp dressed man with smart production and crisp, Prince-leaning erotic pop. Â The surprisingly simple, yet undeniably infectious “SexyBack,” the album’s first single, is producer Timbaland at some of his most creative, and catchy, creations.
