I like plenty of rock artists from the 2000s-today but not well enough to feel any were worthy of putting on any "favorites" list. A lot of "pretty good", nothing amazing.

Was going to put Eminem for the 2000s but remembered Slim Shady LP was '99. Two great albums not enough to get that spot.

Alaskans hate Jewel, btw. Mainly because she was from there, and then she acted like she wasn't, so they felt burned.

Are you sure those are you favorite Biggie ones?
I was making a joke because those being the only two he made. Googled it to make sure and SHIT! There was a bunch of crap after he died. Morbidly hilarious.
