00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, where we'll be ranking the greatest bands from the 2000s, which sadly
00:11no longer make music.
00:17Number 10.
00:18Them Crooked Vultures.
00:27They're one of the most legendary supergroups of the decade.
00:31Them Crooked Vultures was formed by three titans of rock.
00:35They were Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Caius, Dave Grohl from Nirvana and
00:40Foo Fighters, and finally, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin.
00:45They formed in early 2009 and released their first and last album all in the same year.
00:56They won a Grammy in 2011 for their single, New Fang, after already announcing an indefinite
01:01hiatus a year earlier.
01:03They briefly returned in 2022 for two tribute shows dedicated to Taylor Hawkins.
01:10Except for that, they've almost entirely vanished.
01:14Number 9.
01:19Audio Sleigh.
01:20In your house, along to me.
01:29This supergroup was formed in 2001 and went on to create some highly acclaimed albums before
01:35breaking up in 2007.
01:37It was fronted by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden fame, alongside Tom Morello from Rage Against
01:42the Machine.
01:43They released three albums total, which have garnered over 8 million sales.
01:48You gave me a life now, show me how to live.
01:54Their sound is often described as post-grunge inspired by 70s hard rock.
01:59After breaking up, Morello returned to Rage, who toured until 2011, while Cornell pursued
02:05a solo career.
02:06They reunited in 2017 to protest Donald Trump's inauguration, but tragically, Cornell died only
02:13a few months later, making future reunions entirely impossible.
02:18Be yourself is all that you can, all that you can, all that you can, all that you can.
02:27Number 8.
02:28Wonder Girls.
02:29I'm so fine, I'm a normal, you're for ya, I'm so fine.
02:35One of the most prominent second-generation K-pop groups was Wonder Girls.
02:40They were formed in 2007 by JYP Entertainment, and almost became internationally famous by
02:462009.
02:48Their biggest singles at the time were SoHot and Nobody.
02:52I want nobody, nobody from you, I want nobody, nobody from you.
02:59The latter was released in America and became a pretty big hit for a K-pop group.
03:04It topped at 76 on the Billboard Hot 100, which doesn't initially sound impressive, but they
03:09were the first South Koreans to enter the charts.
03:12They tried hard to break America by touring with the Jonas Brothers.
03:16This didn't work, unfortunately, but they stayed together until 2017, although they were primarily
03:22famous in South Korea during the 2010s.
03:26Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
03:30Number 7.
03:31Tokyo Jihen.
03:32Many will describe Japanese musician Ringo Sheena as the Japanese Bjork.
03:47During the 2000s, she was a household name in Japan and had mild international success.
03:53In 2003, she formed the band Tokyo Jihen, also called Tokyo Incidents.
03:59They were active until 2012 and became one of Japan's most famous bands during that period.
04:10During this period, they released five albums, which have since sold over 2 million copies.
04:15Their final concert in 2012 sold out.
04:19Then, Ringo Sheena returned to being a solo artist.
04:22Fans rejoiced when they reunited in 2019, but their 2020 tour was cut short due to COVID.
04:30A sixth album, simply called Music, was released in 2021, but since then, it seems like they've
04:36vanished entirely.
04:38No. 6.
04:39Mad Villain.
04:40Oh, yeah.
04:41It's like they know what's about to happen.
04:42Just keep your eye out like eye-eye cappin'.
04:54Many fans consider MF Doom to be one of the greatest rappers ever, and Madlib one of the best producers.
05:01This caused huge excitement when fans heard they were collaborating in 2002.
05:06This culminated in their 2004 album Mad Villainy.
05:10A lot of fans say it's both artists' magnum opus, with some even calling it hip-hop's greatest
05:16record.
05:17The production is outstanding, with a uniquely creative sound that pairs phenomenally well
05:26with MF Doom's iconic style.
05:29The group never released another album, and MF Doom sorrowfully passed away in 2020.
05:36So this sole 46-minute album is the only album from this duo we'll ever have.
05:48No. 5.
05:49Midori.
05:55Our next entry is one of those bands that are miles away from being mainstream but within
06:00their specific scene.
06:02They're titans.
06:03This jazz-punk band formed in Osaka in 2003, fronted by Mariko Goto, one of Japan's most
06:10pioneering front women.
06:12She had unparalleled energy on stage, frequently making out with the audience and screaming for
06:17entire sets.
06:18Midori broke up in 2010 after releasing three albums and acquiring a cult following globally.
06:31There have been many attempts to recreate their style of performing and playing, but no artist
06:35can match the group's incredible energy.
06:38Go, I'm sick again!
06:39You're dead, I love you!
06:44No. 4.
06:45Panic at the Disco.
06:47Cause it's night in the afternoon, and your eyes are the size of the moon.
06:53In 2004, while pop rock was all over the charts, Panic at the Disco formed.
07:00A year later, they achieved global fame with their debut album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
07:06Its second single, I Write Sins Not Tragedies, is still a massive hit today.
07:10I Chimed In With The Heavens You People Ever Heard Of, Closing A Damn Door.
07:16Their 2008 follow-up album was similarly successful, but things started going downhill for Panic
07:22a few years later.
07:24Members started dropping one after the other, until singer Brendon Urie was the sole member.
07:30It sort of became the Brendon Urie Band from 2016 onwards, until disbanding in 2023.
07:37The original band from the mid-2000s is remembered fondly, but it's very unlikely they'll ever
07:43reunite.
07:44If you love me, let me go!
07:50No. 3.
07:52Outkast.
07:53Sorry, Miss Jackson, ooh, I am for real!
07:57You could easily consider the duo Outkast be a 90s band as they dropped three rap albums
08:03during that decade.
08:04They did three more in the 2000s, which produced their biggest hits like Miss Jackson and Hey
08:09Ya!
08:18Their 2003 album, Speaker Box, The Love Below, has sold over 11 million copies globally.
08:24An incredible feat!
08:26It even won Album of the Year at the Grammys.
08:29They released one final album in 2006, Idlewild, which was the soundtrack for a film of the
08:35same name.
08:37Outkast disbanded in 2007.
08:39They returned briefly in 2014, but are unlikely to reunite anytime soon.
08:44They still work on their own projects, but Outkast is a thing of the past.
08:49I know you'd like to thank you, don't stank, but lean a little bit closer.
08:56No. 2.
08:57Daft Punk
08:58Run, go back, run, go back, run, go back, run.
09:05This cyberduo formed in 1993, and their electronic tunes earned them mainstream fame by the turn
09:12of the century.
09:13In the 2000s, they became a household name globally, with their albums Discovery and Human
09:18After All earning immense acclaim.
09:20These albums included anthems like Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and One More Time.
09:26One more time, I'm gonna celebrate, oh yeah, alright.
09:31The group's final release from 2013, Random Access Memories, is one of their most adored
09:38and best-selling albums.
09:39After years of remaining largely inactive, the duo officially split in 2021.
09:45They're still independently active, but Daft Punk are unlikely to return anytime soon.

10:11Number 1 ā The White Stripes
10:25Few bands are as definitively 2000s as The White Stripes.
10:29Formed by Jack and Meg White while still married, the duo created multiple, instantly recognizable
10:35tracks.
10:36Seven Nation Army is one of the first songs many guitarists and drummers will learn.
10:42Their 2003 LP, Elephant, is still regarded as one of the decade's finest albums, and earned them
10:48their first Grammy Award.
10:50The hottest buttons are buttonin'
10:52The hottest buttons are buttonin'
10:56They released six albums between 1997 and 2007, then went on a brief hiatus.
11:02In 2011, an official breakup was announced, and they have not played together since.
11:08Their status as 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees is more than deserved for the pair of legends.
11:21Did we forget to include any of your favorite bands from the era that have since disbanded?
