Hardcore has seen quite the interesting decade between 2000 and 2010. After an apparent decay of the genre, it came back full force around 2005, bringing the genre very close to mainstream popularity, at least in it's homeland.
What songs shall be remembered? What tracks have really risen to the status of anthems?
I compiled a personal top 50, which is by no mans exhaustive, but rather reflects what side of the music had a real impact on me. Care to share what made your decade of Hardcore worthy?

'After an apparent decay of the genre, it came back full force around 2005,' - You have that the wrong way around dude! It was in full force between 2000 and 2005, then the decay started.

Hardcore really only went quiet for a year or so, nothing massive really. Even then it was still going stong and evolving underground.

definitely prefer the 00-05 era of hardcore, but there's still great stuff that's been coming out.
you just didn't have to wade through so much shit back then as you do now

I;ve gotta agree with you Latinxtc! I'm still listening to Brisk and Ham's Next Generation CD made around 2005 and I still think it's an Overall Great mix CD to listen to (and rave) for that matter. Even though most tracks were produced by Euphoria and the lyrics just blew me away
E.g "Second Sight" by Euphoria - top track. a new dimensional track that really got me into the 'nuskool' HappyHard style
