This year marks 10 years since I got into music in a serious way, and to commemorate this, I have compiled my top 100 from the first chart I listened to (Because We Want To was #1 ) to the present day.
Before I start - major respect to anyone who compiles a personal chart!! It took me ages to get this list together, and at this point I am still changing songs around in my top 100
Compiling this list was a bit strange, because some of the songs in my top 100 are just fantastic tunes, and others hold certain memories for me. I definitely found it very difficult to separate the two, but more on that as I go through the list.
Hopefully this thread should give a bit more insight into my music tastes. I'm not into cheesy pop music as much as people give me credit for on here - there's plenty of depressing indie music on the list!!
Please give me your views on the songs as we go through. Otherwise I'll just be talking to myself .
