This week In ‘2000s Throwback’ 04/52
Bob Dylan’s timeless “Make You Feel My Love,” reworked by Adele on *19*, balances raw devotion with her signature polish. D’Angelo’s sultry “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” channels Prince’s energy, merging funk and neo-soul, while System of a Down’s ferocious “Chop Suey!” blends aggression and melody with existential weight. Radiohead’s haunting “A Wolf at the Door” thrives on lyrical tension, and Arctic Monkeys’ “Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But…” captures mid-2000s indie grit. Beach House’s ethereal “Zebra” evokes hazy nostalgia, and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ “My Man Is a Mean Man” revives retro soul with defiant intensity. Adele’s sweeping “Set Fire to the Rain” on *21* pushes emotional limits, and The Cranberries’ “Animal Instinct” merges maternal warmth with poignant rock.
