The songs of 2001

Listen to the sounds of 2001 here

This year, we’ve looked at the way music changes over time.
We’ve gone to the first year of each decade – starting with the swinging big bands of 1941. In 51, we were on the cusp of rock and roll, which vanished, for a time, in 1961.
We immersed ourselves in the musical highs of 1971, rode the new wave of 81, went clubbing to the music of 91.

And so, we come to our last stop – 2001, when yes, music had changed, but not as much as the way we got it. It was the year of the iPod.
