Criteria:
- single release/release to radio in US or UK between May 1 2002 and November 1 2002.- commercial or critical hit, or culturally 'important'/'novel' etc.- likely to inspire interesting comments.
I think having less songs worked well - so we're looking again for about 30 tracks, thanks.
Obvious inclusions to get the ball rolling: "Work It", "Die Another Day", "Hot In Herre", "Grindin", something by Eminem, "Round Round"

The one I reaaaaaaaaally wanna pull for is Hate Is All You Need by The Delgados, which SHOULD have been the single off of Hate but wasn't for some reason (they'll probably end up choosing All Rise as the second one as well. *shudder*). The album will be out by the 1st of November anyway... please?

Fischerspooner is essential, I feel. I'd also go for The Vines (Get Free?), Coldplay, Ms Dynamite, Weak Become Heroes, Madonna, Doves, Will and Gareth, Underworld, The Kitten, Moby, Eminem (Without Me), Kelly Osbourne, Darius, Libery X, Primals (Miss Lucifer), Scooter, Justin Timberlake and probably several others,
I'm not having ANY truck with people mentioning things like QOTSA, Amon Tobin and Layo&Bushwhacka though. We want UNIT SHIFTERS here.

Miss Dynamite only has 'It Takes More' out in North America, so that might be a better choice than the, er, other one.
