§ ≡ One of an ongoing series of posts in which I pick, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best songs of the second millennium. Feel free to offer constructive dissenting opinions; preferably set to music.

In fact, come to think of it, I was (and still am, I guess) exactly the same age as one of the Beatles.
