This is a playlist of my songs of the Noughties, as a prelude to DiS' end-of-decade coverage in 2010 (we're 10 years old, so it's 10 years of DiS, as well as the decade, etc) and just thought, seeing as every other magazine editor is throwing out their best of the decade stuff now, this might serve as an alternative reminder of some other stuff that came out and hopefully reveal a few things you might have missed/forgotten about.

Please note: Some things weren't available on Spotify and you'll need to take 30s to install the free software from
Spotify.com to hear it. It's a work-in-progress and I'll keep adding to it as time goes by and make some kinda ordered-by-how-much-I-likes-it list at a later date and will of course, offer some insight and commentary, in due course.
