Episode 430: Billboard Modern Rock Tracks - Summer of '01

On today's all new episode of the cast, we take a look at the songs that dominated on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart during the summer of '01, and talk about how these songs captured the essence of the idyllic, carefree world we lived in at that time when we had more freedom, more independence, and were beginning to get the first taste of adulthood with getting  your first learners permit, and how it captured the beautiful world we lived in before 9/11. We talk about the various songs that were omnipresent over the airwaves including Blink 182's "The Rock Show", Sum 41's "Fat Lip", Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal", Cake's "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", Incubus "Drive",  and so many others that gained a prominent place on our mix CD's way back in the day. We also take a gander at the debuts of some prominent bands that would dominate throughout the 00's including the debut of Jimmy Eat World with "Bleed American", and I also play a song that best encapsulates the serene and beautiful soundscape that existed at the time from The Calling with their eventual big hit "Wherever You Will Go".
