1999-2002 Veterans Committee: Nominating 4 New Songs … and Maybe You’ve Heard of Them All!

Here at Hall of Songs, especially as we go deeper into the 2000s, we’re starting to see the diverging music tastes of our two hosts. We’re also starting to see how seriously each of them takes the idea of nominating songs for our self-described pantheon. 

We kid. This is the Veterans Committee episode for the years 1999-2002.  Tim and Chris go back into these years and nominate four songs for the Hall of Songs. Then they discuss some of the other tunes, artists, and genres that they were into at the time. 

Listen as we discuss four years of pop, dance, country, alternative rock, and mainstream R&B.

Join us as we recap another election, featuring songs released between 1997 and ’01. It’s essentially everything Tim was listening to in high school, and everything Chris was not listening to en route to getting married.
