OT: favorite tunes from the 21st century

I already posted something from First Aid Kit, but gonna do another one. I think this song is an absolute masterpiece.

The intro is kinda funny. I was going "Wait a minute, what?" but then consider the title of the song.

 
I'm the queen of Hell
and I burn for you
burn burn burn


 
Rhiannon Giddens is a rare talent.

U no like EDM? Maybe dis iz not 2 funky 4 U.

 
If it has a guitar, banjo, fiddle or mandolin I listen. I wish more people would appreciate bluegrass.
Their out there but maybe the silent Majority. I have tried for a few years to get decent tickets for Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers. You have to pay triple digits to be in the same zip code and watch on a large screen at most venues. And just to be in tune with the thread this is 21st century. ;)

I saw the Steep Canyon Rangers...without Steve Martin. It was a small bluegrass festival in a tiny rural town east of Portland (on the Washington side of the Columbia). Cheap admission to the festival. Paying an awfully big premium for Martin.
 
As you can see already, music died before that.

You obviously haven't looked far enough. As others have pointed out, there's been good stuff from pretty much every genre. Heck, some good stuff has even made it onto pop stations:

I see comments like this on you tube all the time. I don't agree with it. There's still good music out there, you just have to find it. It sounds different than music did in the 50s, or the 60s, or the 70, or the 80s, etc. But music is always changing.
Maybe it seems like a cheating a bit to pick fairly recent songs that sound like they could've been made a long time ago. There's just a lot of good stuff that isn't mainstream, you aren't going to hear it on radio stations.
This thread is not fair to us old folks that tend to rehash oldies and classic rock. Having said that I am fortunate enough to find even newer material that I really find not only an enjoyable listen but interesting.
My main problem with music today is that it is too computerized But, that's the world we live in so I'll string along with Chet Atkins or Los Lobos for the time being.
As NW said, there is a lot of good "new" music out there. Probably not gonna hear it on the radio though. Except maybe some really independent local stations. There is "new" rock, southern rock, blues stuff that sounds like it might have been made back in the day, but it's recent. And there is some newer sounding rock that's pretty good too. I'll post some stuff so you guys can expand your listening beyond stuff released in the 60's/70's. ;)

Although these guys are from Canada (circa 2018), they could easily be from N. Florida, circa early 70's.

DMV represent.

diamond in the back, with a sunroof top,
digging the scene, with a gangsta lean.
be thankful for what you've got.
the original. posers, step off. lol.
fun fact. when the long version ended a few moments ago, every songbird living within the sound of that beat was singing up a storm. took aboot 2 minutes after it stopped for them to shut up. nothing like a day in june.
 
With permission, this is a Dylan tune with new lyrics.



Their main vocalist is Rhett Miller, but one of their guitar players Murry Hammond sings lead on about one song per album. His songs always have a different vibe and I usually really dig his songs. Like this.

I have to look up release dates on some of these, some of the early 2000s stuff I get confused w/ late 90s.

 
I haven't gone completely nuts in a song thread for a while. I'm feeling inspired.

I thought this band started earlier, but everything other than their first album came in 2000 or later. So many good songs to pick from. Some of their videos are goofy but there are a ton of fan made videos using footage from movies, tv shows and video games.




and another one just because
Within Temptation - What Have You Done (Video)
 
For whatever reason Netherlands is the epicenter of symphonic metal, but there are bands from all over Europe. This outfit is Austrian. I really like a bunch of their songs.



This one they venture into a bit of a different sound, I'd definitely call this folk metal. Yes, that really is a thing. This song features hammer dulcimer, mandolin and some kind of whistle. Definitely can hear some Celtic influence in it.
