Was having a clear out earlier and was going through some CDs that I had created from the days when I was back at school and used to bring along a portable cd player. Came across some songs that I havent heard since back then and brought back many memories. Please post any that you think were forgotten quite quickly (even if the one I've posted below is not to your tastes)

I remember both of them.

I think I bought the first one. I preferred this one though.

Like the OP, I used to take a portable CD player to school and subsequently college with me. I was finishing school in the very early 2000s.

Steve Wright played X Press 2 ft David Byrne not so long ago.

I remember the Pirates and Shola Ama very well - it was the 'answer' to Mario Winans' 'I Don't Wanna Know.' I was at university when they were out.

There are loads of forgotten gems from the early and mid 2000s and though it's so easy to say 'music was better back then,' some of the music from that era is fantastic. Some of my favourites include:

The 411 - On My Knees
Fatboy Slim & Macy Gray - Demons
Santos - Camels
The Avalanches - Since I Left You (interesting video)
Dirty Vegas - Ghosts - most would probably remember 'Days Go By,' which was another great track.
Spooks - Things I've Seen
Spooks - Karma Hotel
Truth Hurts - Addictive
The Music - Getaway


Coloursound - Fly With Me - remember hearing this on Sara Cox's breakfast show.

Audio Bullys - Real Life
Raven Maize - The Real Life - remember watching this on Top of the Pops.

L.O.V.E. ft. Malin Elino - We Should Fall In Love

DB Boulevard - Another Point of View

Shakedown - At Night

M&S presents Girl Next Door - Salsoul Nugget

Jerk it out by The Caesers is a classic track you don't hear played much.

Of course they are forgotten to "some people", there was quite a few in that list I'd not heard of in a while and probably wouldn't have thought of if it wasn't for that post. So thanks!

There's no way this thread could simply have all the songs people have forgotten over time. I think it's more about sharing some of your favourite tracks from the 00s, which might well turn out to be a "forgotten gem" for someone.

Isn't it great? I always say it's difficult for me to compile a list of my favourite songs of all time but I can safely say The Avalanches' 'Since I Left You' would be on it.

I bought it the week it was released - one of the few songs I've thought, "I must have that song NOW." It's one of those 'lying on a beach somewhere' kind of songs really.

A few months later I Monster released 'Daydream in Blue,' which I also loved.

I thought that was a very good track. I also liked Craig David's 'Rendezvous.' I also like Daft Punks 'One More Time.'

...im just rather bemused that big hits from (reletively) recent times can be 'forgotten' by music fans... imho the term 'forgotten' would suggest that the tracks were minor hits and not heard much, but were actually great tracks.

well its down to perspecives i guess...some great tracks being mentioned, even if they were big hits! lol.
