One of the great joys of music is its ability to pull you back into the rhythm of a different age. There’s something about some of the pop bands from the 2000s that makes them feel as though they are still a gold mine of pure nostalgia. So, what are some of the greatest underrated pop bands from this era and why do they still circle your brain even over twenty years later?
The following are three of the greatest 2000s pop bands we know not everyone has heard of. While you are unlikely to see them appear on many playlists, they either have a timeless quality or were unfairly dismissed after their run.
3 Underrated Pop Bands From the 2000s
The following groups pioneered new types of pop that continue to remain at the back of their listeners’ minds to this day:
- B*Witched
- The Corrs
- S Club 7
After listening to music by these bands, many of those living in that era would never have imagined they would stop. Still, pop music is fickle, and every lost great deserves remembrance.
B*Witched
“Some people say I look like me dad” (sic) was the strange introduction to this Irish girl group that had this mix of teens and adults acting like children. Still, despite their strange tomboy image and attempt to appeal to young audiences, the types of music they created were catchy.
The songs C’est La Vie, Mickey, and Blame It on the Weatherman are unlikely to find their equal in both tone and catchiness.
The Corrs
Nobody would have thought in the last years of the 20th Century that the pop world was being watched keenly and closely by this Irish pop-rock band. Yet, here we are, and the iconic pop music of this group is now at the forefront of any discussion of breakout Irish bands.
Breathless and Runaway are some of those songs you cannot help but tap your foot to. Still, they all but disappeared after the 2010s, but their music still exists and is available once again due to modern streaming services.
S Club 7
Following the fame of the Spice Girls, their manager wanted another shot at creating the best pop music band once more. To that end, S Club 7 burst onto the scene with catchy, child-friendly beats and even their own BBC television series.
While they were wholesome, many band members were popular with parents. Despite this universality, this appeal did not last and they soon faded into obscurity.
Underrated Music From Today
After re-tuning your memory to some of the best unsung or forgotten pop bands from the 2000s, you should know that the best music did not stop there. Great artists still make tracks worth the same level of fame and attention even today, and Anabella Paige is but one example of these people.
With a mix of nostalgic and contemporary styles in each song, her work refuses to leave your mind through both its lyrics and tunes. So, check out her latest single, This I Miss, and lose yourself in her voice.
