100 Artists, Albums, and Songs of the New Millenium Better Than Justin Bieber

This is just a list of the music I love and listen to whenever I hear mention or music of that Justin Bieber kid, who I'm sick of.

It's been ever so slightly influenced by my friend's "Men Who Are Better Than Edward Cullen" list, which kicked ass (http://dragonwings131.livejournal.com/5010.html#cutid1).

Anyway, all of the music on this list is from the last ten years. Any further back and it'd be too easy and there would be far too much. This makes it a bit tougher and reminds me that there is great music out there today, even if you do have to look outside the mainstream for it.
