2000 was quite the year. The dawn of a new millennium, CD sales at their absolute height with over 13 billion sold in the US, and nu metal at its most popular (and its most obnoxious).
For many of us growing up at the turn of the millennium, 2000 was a formative year in music. Rock and heavy metal bands were mainstream, Eminem became a household name, Britney did it again, and Radiohead's Kid A debuted at #1 and never slipped in our estimations.
