As promised when we did 1970 on Good Friday, the other end of our forty-year spectrum and a list notably more biased than most, even if its span is only the last five years, towards what STN was writing about at the time anyway. The Big Pink were the hot new thing of the day and Duffy emerged as the big winner at the Brits, we took our entertainment where we could find it. Michael Jackson's death was announced late on the Thursday of Glastonbury, and starved of anyone else to talk to BBC News interviewed White Lies' touring keyboard player about it. Oasis split, properly this time. "Kanye'd" briefly becomes a thing with the unwitting aid of Taylor Swift, though nobody now remembers him doing the same to Justice's video directors at MTV Europe's beanfeast three years earlier. Lady Gaga in her original "mixing up outerwear and underwear" phase broke enormous. Susan Boyle had the world's biggest selling album. Confusing days.
