Supposedly cultural ramblings attempted to be given some semblance of order by being listed in tens with two exceptions: 1) If they are in multiples of ten 2) Not numerical lists at all

Trotter's Top 400 of the Noughties - Part 3 (151-200)
So in this 'bite-size' edition we have: the hotpants that changed the world, three tunes from the best
front-woman in music at the mo, the opening track from the album that set Coldplay on a U2-sized trajectory, the sadly-deceased R&B star that Beyoncé owes her career to, a one-armed scissor, proof that when Madonna line-dances she does so on her own, a cheerful little ditty to spousal abuse, *that* Dandy Warhols track, Daft Punk and the band that name-checks them, hilarity in the Radiohead studio, Biffy channelling vintage Sisters of Mercy, the best key change of the decade from Neil Hannon, a very hard button to button and some of the finest lyrics from a startlingly talented young Sheffield upstart and his pals...

Trotter's Top 400 of the Noughties - Part 2 (201-300)
So here's a second 100 for the Noughties, and although some may not think you're ready for this jelly,it features a lovely song that will always remind me of a certain SipidiSloss wedding now, two former Mouseketeers, a stuntdriving squirrel, Bob Hoskins, the last decent thing New Order did (and the first band to call themselves The Killers), the misogynistic track that obviously wooed Beyoncé, an ode to pre-nup, eating seeds as a past-time activity, the first appearances on this list of defining bands of the '00s Kings of Leon, The Strokes, White Stripes, Arcade Fire), 3:08 minutes of pure joyous pop, as well as the under-rated (The Duke Spirit, Mystery Jets, The Stills) and the over-rated (Razorlight, The Kooks, Ting Tings) and the voice of her generation.
