Purple Pills 20 for 20

Purple_Pills · December 2020

Wow, this was tough. In this golden age of music accessibility I spend most of my music listening time on YouTube streaming full albums from the past. For this list I tried my best to avoid stuff posted in previous 20-20 lists, so it ended up rap heavy. Enjoy?

Youngbloodz - “Damn” (2003)

Three 6 Mafia - “Stay High”

Clean version (“Stay Fly”) is good too.

50 Cent - “In Da Club” (2003)

Dr. Dre makes just about anything good.

Iron Maiden - “When the Wild Wind Blows” (2010)

It is rare a band makes an epic song like this so late in their career.

Justin Timberlake - “Rock Your Body” (2002)

Released in 2002, but it was massively played summer 2003, my most fun ever and this song takes me back. Pharrell wanted to give this to Michael Jackson who declined, his loss.
