Specifically, I’m trying to put together a playlist for an RPG set in 2010. The local DJ in the game is famous / notorious for playing tunes that are considered challenging of the establishment / rebellious / ‘too suggestive’ for the local kids (The area in play is a very conservative small south-western town). Problem is, after I set that up, I kinda realized I don’t know what that sort-of music would be in that era. Anyone got a wayback machine I could borrow?

Thanks in advance!

I was in high school/college in that time frame. I went through the Billboard 100 lists for the year and pulled out a bunch of songs that I remembered hearing a lot and that I remembered parents and teachers not liking.

This list is in no way meant to be exhaustive.
