97-01 Summer Songs

Okay, so Mike came up with a great list of albums. Brian came up with a set of a-sides and b-sides. I've opted to go in a slightly different direction, limiting my year selection to within 97-01 and focusing on music from that period that both brings back fond memories and also reminds me of summer. Came up with 50 tracks. No order in terms of year, preference, or artist. Many aren't even the best or even my favourite songs from the albums. But (I think) they're not too played out and still may be approachable today.

Well done Kylie, I like the variation and the idea of finding freshness in some favourite bands. Also, to your point (I think) those were four great years of my (and everyone's?) life so worth commemorating. Will make a tasty playlist, which Derek won't be featuring tomorrow night.
