Date: February 5, 2010
Theme: Best of 2000s
On Air: Frank

Wow, has it been 10 years already, yes I remember doing my best of the 1990s radio show way back when. Who would have thought then that my next best of the decade recap would be on an internet only podcast distributed on something called the internet created on a magical box called a laptop.

I decided to be uninspired in the order of the show as all I did was play my top singles of the decade from 1 to 15 and then my top albums of the decade from 15 to 1. If you want to see the complete list of my top 50 singles and top 23 albums at the Fireball XL5 Facebook page. (which I think is accessible even if you aren't on Facebook)

See a graphical representation of my 20 of the decade here:
