Not sure what Spotify non-users will be able to do with this, if anything, but here's a playlist I made back in December. Fully expecting every other end-of-decade list to ignore everything I enjoyed over the last 10 years, I put together a 100-track list charting my own, sort of, musical journey through the decade.

As interesting as Spotify's own end-of-year wrap-up can be, for me it's always wildly divergent from what I've actually spent the year listening to, so for the past couple, I've been making my own playlists. If someone issued an official soundtrack to my 2019 (and they should) this would be the tracklist.
