If you're like me or a good portion of the FN staff (we have a staff, kinda), 15 years represents roughly 50% of your life. And given that there are likely a lot of significant memories in the span of 50% of your life, there's a lot there that we're very nostalgic about, especially in the music world.

NME, the British music outlet that keeps us posted on how Peter Hook is going to hunt his former New Order bandmates down in a cabin, is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its website with a comprehensive look at what it considers to be the best 150 songs of the past decade and a half. It's understandably heavy on British artists (which I'm cool with), and if you haven't already guessed what came in first, there's a giant clue staring you in the face at the top of this post.

Check the full article out over here with videos and thoughts on each song, along with a full-on list below if you're more of a skimmer. They also made a Spotify playlist out of it all. What do you think of their choices?
