DiS likes to think of Thursday as the day before festivals start or the night most of the best gigs take place in London.

Luckily we’re on hand to jog those memories and help you reminisce about the good times and the couple of sad moments which brought us all back down to Earth with a big bump. This is 2006...»

So here we are, fellow travellers through the last six years of DiS’s favourite sounds: part two of Our 66. Believe you me, this section – which collects together the albums we’ve placed at numbers 44 to 21 – was no easier to assemble than the preceding chapter (click here if you’re yet to look over our selections from 66 to 45).
