Paste Magazine: Top 300 Albums

Paste Magazine:

The Top 300 Albums

Paste magazine launched in July 2002 as a print publication after first starting as a website in 1998. In 2010, they went back to being online only. They started with a focus on music, specifically adult alternative, indie rock, and Americana. They have since expanded to include focus on movies, TV, books, and more.

As explained on the Paste website: “For this list, we called on our entire writing cohort—including editors, staff writers, interns and freelancers far and wide—to send in their individual Top 20 lists. We then took those lists, along with editorial oversight, and compiled what we believe is a selection of music that represents what Paste believes is the best to have ever been recorded.”

The 2000s: The Top 909 at 90.9 The Bridge

2000-2009:

Top 909 Songs According to
90.9 The Bridge

Over the fourth of July holiday in 2022, Kansas City radio station 90.9 The Bridge did a countdown of the top 909 songs of the 2000s, as determined by listener votes. I’ve attempted to make this list as accurate as possible, which includes correcting mistakes such as incomplete titles. I’ve added the years of the songs’ releases. Sharp readers will note there are some songs outside of the 2000-2009 window. I’m not sure how they ended up on the list. In addition, they have mistakenly listed Michael Atchison’s show Revival as the #452 song.

You can also check out other countdowns done by the Bridge over the years by clicking here.
