The song would find its way on to Up the Bracket, The Libertines’ debut album produced by The Clash’s Mick Jones.

For that moment, I was with people who believed the same thing.” The track was a composite of the May Day, about which Doherty later remarked: “I felt like there were so many things wrong, and I didn’t know where to channel it.

An evolution of the Britpop sound the track has been a mainstay of their live shows from the near-beginning of the group’s voyage to the crest of the British rock wave.Ĭonceived the moment Doherty was caught across the brow with an extended truncheon from one of Her Majesty’s finest while checking his hair, the song is an impulsive and beautiful thrust and pull, mirroring the environment in which it originated.

It would inspire the musical duo to write one of their most impassioned and powerful explosions of quasi-punk poetry, ‘Time For Heroes’. In 2000, Carl Barat and Pete Doherty were ducking and diving as riots broke out across the capital. When the baton of Britpop dropped to the ground amid a nu-metal delay, The Libertines were busy dealing with their own batons, as they came flying towards their heads. It’s almost impossible to keep your heart down once the song’s monster chorus comes barreling in, and the everlasting impact of ‘Lose Yourself’ solidified Eminem’s place among the all-time best. But he’d still be legendary if ‘Lose Yourself’ was the only song the Detroit rapper ever produced, with its expertly woven rhymes and radically exciting guitar-heavy arrangement. From now until the end of time, someone, somewhere, will be pumping themselves up to ‘Lose Yourself’.Įminem has all those traditional barometers covered: high sales, multiple callbacks from his peers, a few Grammy statues, and a plethora of “mom’s spaghetti”.

Grammys? The number of memes it produces? Placements on lists like these? Cultural stock is a fickle game, but for lack of any real tangible way to count it up, you just know it when you see it. At the centre of the album’s epic 23-song tracklist is the swirling ‘1969’. Having already radically redefined what electronic music could be with 1998’s Music Had the Right to Children, Scottish duo Boards of Canada doubled down on the trippy psychedelia, old-school synth sounds, and wild experimentation on 2002’s heady Geogaddi. Break out your Canadian tuxedo and rewind Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, because we’re going back 20 years to the best songs of 2002. From across all genres, we culled the hardest hitting and most memorable songs from across the musical world. With two decades of hindsight, we’re going back and revisiting some of the most iconic and impactful songs of 2002. The collapse would be spectacular, but for any contemporary music fan, it seemed as though things couldn’t have been any better. The record industry was peaking as well, with the last remnants of multi-million-selling albums still giving record companies billion-dollar yearly profits. Music was getting far more diverse and varied, with room for rock, rap, pop, folk, emo, electronica, and even jazz to infiltrate the mainstream.
