Welcome to Part 10 of the Noughtie series. This is the fifth Mixtape, celebrating the year of 2004 in rock and metal. 2004 was, in my opinion anyway, a big turning point for the decade. Emo was starting to rise. It wasn't quite here officially yet, but it the roots were sown by now. Here are the Mixtape rules as usual.

A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!

Without further delay, let's look at my favourite songs from 2004!

1. The Unnamed Feeling - Metallica
2. Y'All Want a Single - KoRn
3. Hotride - The Prodigy
4. Roses - OutKast
5. She Wants to Move - N.E.R.D.
6. Mosh - Eminem
7. Mass Destruction - Faithless
