SPOTIFY THE NOUGHTIES
We've reached the half-way mark in THE WORD's grand project to create the ultimate playlist for the current decade - time to do the year 2005. We've started it with two songs featuring the words "push the button" – which may mean something or may not. Now it's your turn. Choose your favourite songs from the year that Pope John Paul II went to meet St Peter, Liverpool won the European Cup for the fifth time in the greatest game of football ever played, Atomic Kitten split up and, amazingly, a load of other stuff happened too. Then click on the 2005 playlist link and add them. Couldn't be easier. Except the first Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire albums aren't on Spotify. Oh well, what are you going to do?

THE RULES OF THE GAME
1] One track at a time please, and no complete albums. We reserve the right to nip and tuck.
2] Keep it to music you honestly think is great. This isn't the place to plug obscurities or your mates' bands.
3] Those are all the rules we can think of right now.

We have a new computer in the office so we can play the 2005 list as nature intended. The lists for 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are now closed to new entries but you can play them to your heart's content. And if you would like to suggest new additions to Web Fraser's lovely evolving portrait of the Stars of the Noughties above, please do so below.
