The Greatest songs In The world Ever....in 2001

A respite this morning, it should have been a self made Ballboy compilation called New Balls Please but my CD player didn’t want me to listen to it. Instead I have referred in the past to a triple CD set I made myself of my favourite songs ever. The discs were compiled in 2001 and looking back now it is rather evident. Some of those songs no longer feature in my favourite ever, some artists have different songs which I adore more than others. There are 54 songs in total, listed below, in 2001 those songs were my very favourite, tomorrow I will update the list to reflect my tastes now, but for now, you get a list.

  1. Is that The Chills from New Zealand? Have you got much?

    And Journey?

  2. Journey is a song that went from quite like to love, to one of my favourite songs over the course of the last ten years, The Chills are the New Zealand band. My 50 now, is a different beast and I will post some point tomorrow, looking at it today I would say a third of that list remain. The biggest omission then was Johnny Cash, in 2001 no one song was great, the one that is likely to make it, I only heard around 4 or 5 years ago.
