SPOTIFY THE NOUGHTIES It's time to do 2007, and it's all starting to feel a bit "recent"

Andrew Harrison's picture

We're heading towards the home strait in the gala Blue Peter time capsule project that is Spotify The Noughties. Today it's the year 2007 and we invite the learned contributions of the WORD Massive. Click on the 2007 playlist link to open Spotify and add your favourite tracks from the year that H5N1 turned up at a Bernard Matthews turkey farm, Live 8 took place and the final Harry Potter book came out.

THE RULES OF THE GAME
1] One track at a time please, and no complete albums or strings of tracks from the same artist. 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] As ever, no Stereophonics.

We will be playing the list in the office and you can keep tabs on us at our Last.fm page. The lists for 20062005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are now closed to new entries but are of course playable (you can copy them into a new playlist and edit them to your own specifications too). And if you want to suggest new additions to Web Fraser's ever-evolving portrait of the Stars of the Noughties above, then please let us know in the comment boxes below.

I wanted to add Radiohead's 'Weird Fishes / Arpeggi'...

but it isn't on there. Instead I was asked if I meant 'Weird Fister'. I don't think I like the sound of that particular ditty...

Ouch

There's an orchestral arrangement of In Rainbows on there though. That might be good.

Ummmm

Wasn't Live 8 in 2005? Didn't 2007 begat that Al Gore gig?

You're right

Live8 was definitely 2005

I'd like to suggest that another person is photoshopped in

rather than Mr. Incredible. The other figures in the picture so perfectly reflect the noughties but I think that, whilst the incredibles has merit as a film, and whilst there was some hype around it at the time, it just isn't in the same league as Saddam Hussein or the crazy frog in terms of cultural reflection.

All the other choices are so spot on. That's the only reason I raise it.

Them's fighting words.

Who is more important, Saddam or Mr Incredible? This could go on longer than the Andrew Collins/squirrel thread.

Fail

I failed on point number 3... Does that make me a bad person?
