A new playlist was pieced together during this season of isolation and change. I went on a two-hour walk the other night, and not a soul was to be found.

Top 100 songs from the last decade. 10 years in the making.

This list was hard to make. After all, to love their music is to need their music everywhere. There’s a Beatles track for most moments of my life; Here are 20 tracks that represent most of those moments.
20. Till There Was You from With The Beatles (1963)

18. Carry That Weight from Abbey Road (1969)
17. I’m Only Sleeping from Revolver (1966)
16. You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away from Help! (1965)

Here are 20 tracks I’ve enjoyed since the beginning of 2016. Hastily, they’ve been ranked. David Bowie and Kanye West both made this initial list with two tracks each, but will they make the final list at the end of the year?
20. Sunday Album: Heathen | Album Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Heathen marks a new beginning for David Bowie in some ways — it’s his first record since leaving Virgin, his first for Columbia Records, his first for his new label, ISO — yet it’s hardly a new musical direction. Like Hours, this finds Bowie…
#230. You’re Always On My Mind – Sam Cooke A list of my favorite tracks that more or less represent my 20s. A ranking of all of the music I consumed between 2005 – 2015. I tracked what I listened to through my iTunes history, scrobbling music on Last FM, and my devout appreciation for…
