The past decade has been an interesting one. At its dawn, I was a 14-year-old teenager struggling with the throes of queer adolescence at a school with Christian in its actual title. By its close, I was a young adult struggling to balance the demands of a stress-laden professional career with the longing for something deeper and purer. The space between those struggles was filled with some of the best music I've ever heard and this countdown seeks to celebrate that. At 400 pieces long, it will be the biggest celebration I've hosted, but that's what these songs really are - threads of the tapestry of a decade filled with growth, scented by monumental friendships and unforgettable adventures, embellished by challenges and unexpected (and untimely) hurdles, all interwoven with a stubborn, endless sense of hope that every fork in the road, flat tire, detour, and random reroute would ultimately lead me to the only destination that ever really mattered - peace.
I can tie each of these songs to a memory so they're all, to varying extents, special to me. I'm really excited to share the very brightest of the decade's musical highlights, with my ever-polarising taste as trusty barometer. I've finally settled on my #1 so you are all formally invited to the party, which is slated to kick off...whenever I get around to doing so.
In the interim, take your best guess in the poll.
