Welcome to the 2005 edition of "The Current's 15 Years in 15 Days."

Each weekday for the next three weeks, the 9:30 Coffee Break will ask you to share your favorite songs from the past 15 years, Jade and Mary Lucia will play back some of their favorite session tracks from each year, and at 6 pm Mark Wheat will air the Top 15 songs of each year, sourced from the Top 89s.

Keep your eyes and ears out for special programming on air and online as we inch closer to our 15th Anniversary Party at First Avenue on Jan. 18 featuring Black Pumas, The Bad Man, Seratones, MaLLY, and 26 Bats!.
