Instead of verbally assaulting the year that was, how about we send it off with some music?
Below is an allocation of my favorite song tracks from albums released in 2003 (and some late late 2002 entries). You're not going to find many as singles, but many albums (listed in brackets) should be easy to hunt down via Amazon or finer music stores worldwide.
