It was 10 years ago today when R&B singer Aaliyah was killed in a tragic plane crash in The Bahamas. The untimely death of the singer shook the music world and was a devastating loss for both fans and friends of the singer including fellow artists Missy Elliott, DMX, and Timbaland.

Regular readers know that I've got a little thing for the late-great Aaliyah, so while I was set on giving her today's Throwback Thursday spot to belatedly celebrate her birthday, I'd already covered "Rock the Boat" and "One in a Million".

If my girl only knew how much I'm truly in love with Aaliyah she'd probably have me sleeping on the couch, but can you blame me. Not only was she beautiful, but she made some incredible music - incredible music like 1996's "If Your Girl Only Knew". Goddamn she was good. See more..
With the number 12 pick of our "Top 25 of the 2000s" countdown, RefinedHype.com and DJBooth.net are proud to select...Aaliyah's "Rock the Boar", a supremely sexy song from the one of the decade's most tragic losses...
I don't think you truly appreciate how amazing Aaliyah was. I really don't think you do. Not only was she beautiful and charismatic - and believe me she was - Aaliyah pushed the boundaries of r&b harder than almost anyone while still maintaining a sense of the classics. Luckily producer Belief is equally determined to make sure we give Aaliyah here due as he's remixing some of her biggest hits is part of his ongoing and aptly named Aaliyah remix project. Today we have two of the first releases in t series, "We Need a Resolution" and "Try Again", complete with downloads and video. See more to watch and download...
