PLAY PART ONE

PLAY PART TWO

Ten years is a long time…or is it? In my personal life, virtually everything has changed in the past ten years, but in the music scene, it appears as though very little has happened of note. Some of these songs sound as fresh (or more so) than most of the stuff on today’s pop charts. The music business is definitely changing, but it is still too soon to say whether or not that will be a good thing for creativity. Judge for yourself as we review a few of the most popular singles and album tracks from ten years ago, including;

1)    The Way – Fastball

2)    Uninvited – Alanis Morissette

3)    The Mummer’s Dance – Loreena McKennitt

4)    As Tears Go By – The Andrew Oldham Orchestra

5)    The Last Time – The Andrew Oldham Orchestra

6)    Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve

7)    Special – Garbage

8)    Inertia Creeps - Massive Attack

9)    Airbag - Radiohead
