I'd have to go with Brandon in that I couldn't really name just one as "best song of the century," but two songs that come to mind are Black Magic Woman, by Santana, and Symphony for the Devil, by The Rolling Stones.

Jim, I think you mean Sympathy for the Devil

...still a good song by any other name, though. Unless they called it Horace. Then, maybe, it'd have been a little less good.

in my oppinion it would have to be Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. Just an all and all great song.

That one along with just about every other Pink Floyd song out there.

GAH

I can't believe I made that mistake. I am very embarrassed, right now. "Symphony"?

Oh well, at least I'm consistently misspelling crucial words... (sorry Kristina)

The 21st century started on Januart 1, 2001.

I think that everyone made a mistake because people didn't start the calendar saying year 1 because that would mean that one year has already passed. They would start at 0. Therefore, a hundred years, including that first year, would bring you to the one hundred year mark or the end of Dec. 31, 100. Two thousand years after the begining of the counting would be Dec. 31, 1999 and the next set would start at Jan. 1, 2000. In other words, a millenium is a thousand years. The end of the first millenium would be the mark between Dec 31, 999 and Jan. 1, 1000. The mark at the end of the second would be between Dec. 31, 1999 and Jan. 1, 2000. 2001 just means that we have completed the first year after the new millenium, not the begining of the new millenium.

Agh wern't we over this problem already?

[robot180]

It wasn't really clear. Now maybe I just missed it. I might even be wrong about the whole thing, but I was arguing with my brother over the same issue just recently. If I am wrong, then I have to listen to my brother tell me that I think I know everything.

[Matt Attallah]

I quit.

Brandon - I'm sorry for correcting you. Please except my humble apologies.

I'm done...

Does that mean that I am right?

Nope. Sorry.

lol
for being a thread about the song of the century it should've been called what are the exact dates of the start and end of the century?

The United States Government says that the 20th century began January 1, 1901 and ended December 31, 2000, since there is no year zero, it cannot be January 1, 1900 to December 31, 1999.

So all Americans have to deal with that. Im not sure what the Canadian Government thinks though...


Thats all the proof I need
