Sorry, but 2002 is going to last for 2 weeks.

I’m almost certain I remember it going for 52...

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Well, if we’re going with ‘02 for another week, here’s a playlist of a hundred popular songs from around that time to keep y’all occupied.

The two week thing might be the norm over the next month and a halfish as I have a few weddings and a vacation coming up.

The two week thing might be the norm over the next month and a halfish as I have a few weddings and a vacation coming up.

I prefer that anyway. Makes it a lot easier to get to everything I want to listen to from that year.

Are you suggesting that I needed to provide a "subjective" list?
I thought this thread was asking for the "empirical" list with the objective information - that is the list that I provided.

 

[Hollywood]

I’m not including Interpol, because I have never really listened to them.

Wait what!? Are you serious?? That's just absolutely crazy! You need to remedy this at once.

If you like Damien Rice you should check out Lisa Hannigan’s three albums if you haven’t alread (the second passenger is my favourite).

She was in his band then and did the backing and harmony vocals on his first couple of albums. I’m, personally, a bigger fan of hers than his, she’s a serious talent.
