Today marks the 10th anniversary of the great Blackout of 2003 that sent much of eastern Canada and the U.S into darkness for days.

In commemoration of the notorious blackout, we've compiled a video gallery playlist of the best power outage-themed songs from David Bowie's "Blackout" and Arcade Fire's "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" to Death Cab's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" and Black Key's "When The Lights Go Out."

And the best part is you can play this trip down (an unlit) memory lane without worrying about running out of batteries!
