Kubrick didn’t suggest our best-of list was on the Pan Am shuttle, but he didn’t not suggest it. So that works for me.
Like all lists from 2000 thru 2003, this list was re-created based on the release date of the music. We likely listened to these albums at the time but it’s not 100% borne of the year itself.
