I’m sure you’ll all aware that the decades coming to an end so you don’t need me to tell you that but what I am going to tell you about today is the music that defined the past 10 years for me. It’s the first full decade I’ve been alive and I’ve packed a lot of listening in. This obviously isn’t a full reflection of my taste, I listen back to the ’60s and 70’s right through to new releases. There are definitely so many I’m going to forget because I have listened to a shit tonne of music.
