Thursday, October 13, 2011
The British music magazine "NME" has put together a list of The 150 Best Songs of the Past 15 Years . . . or since 1996.
Even though this is a British list, it actually isn't as annoyingly British as you might expect. That being said, there are DEFINITELY songs on here that wouldn't make the cut if this were an American list.
Also, it has a bias toward indie music, at least at the top. Here's the Top 20:
1.) "Paranoid Android", Radiohead (1997)
