2000s

It was a big year for Muse, Disturbed and Godsmack among others as we flash back on 40 songs that helped define rock radio in 2006.

Some drew initial buzz, others scored some radio hits, but all of these 2000s-era supergroups ended up with relatively short tenures.

Like any subgenre of music that had its moment, nu-metal certainly had a style that was all its own.

A new century brought about new popular styles and a shift in the rock industry.

You may have missed them the first time around, but these 2000s rock albums definitely deserved more attention.

The decade was flooded with material from some of the genre's biggest acts.

Was it all a phase? See what the stars of the 2000s emo era looked like then as well as today.

Radio programmers and listeners both had plenty of love for these 2000s rock songs.

It's the '80s and '90s that's left with Metallica and Pantera going head to head in the March Madness championship.

Do you recall where you were when these big rock and metal events were happening?
