Think about popular music around the turn of the millennium, and what comes to mind? Maybe it's the teen-pop that dominated, or the rap-rock and nu-metal that rose up seemingly in response to it. Maybe it's the crossover hip-hop and R&B jams that made household names out of Timbaland and The Neptunes, or the four-quadrant country that propelled Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks to diamond-level sales. Maybe it's Eminem.
Why Minivan Rock? Well, think of it as the Y2K-straddling equivalent to the smooth soft rock that was similarly ubiquitous on radio playlists of the mid-1970s to early '80s -- what's since come to be known as Yacht Rock. While those Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross hits were ostensibly best enjoyed by the affluent while cruising in their personal vanity vessels on the high seas, by the late '90s the vehicular status symbol for the suburban had become the minivan.
Ultimately, the only hard line we drew was that songs for this list had to be released as singles between the years of 1997 -- when the final strains of Gen-X grunge had dissolved into something inherently top 40-friendlier -- and 2004, after which alt-rock had a radio comeback and-type piano balladry turned pop-rock into something more dolorous and epic.
