Highly respected DJ magazine, Resident Advisor ran a poll to determine what their expert DJs thought were the top 100 tracks from the 00's. Resident Advisor has a massive following worldwide. According to their About Us section, they have over 1 million readers per month and won the People's Voice Webby Awards for music in 2008. This gives RA some weight as research source. This is what they came up with:

An interesting development in the top 50 from 2010 is how strikingly old school some of the tracks sound. It is as if house music has gone completely full circle. This adds some credence to a conversation Colin and I had the other day where we discussed how in lean financial times, music often goes back to its roots. It will be interesting to find out if there is any research done in this area already and what the reasons are for this phenomenon.
