Top 10 Albums of 2004 (so far)

[NaiLed]

Edit: Rooney- Rooney

there's a band called Rooney? :down:

[Stabwound]

Ill Bill - What's Wrong With Bill?
Necro - The Pre-Fix For Death
Nightwish - Once
Annihilator - All For You
Cradle Of Filth - Nymphetamine
Augury - Concealed
Decapitated - The Negation
Exodus - Tempo of the Damned
Vehemence - Helping the World to See

I dunno, I just listed the first 9-10 that came to mind. Probably not my ABSOLUTE best list but I guess they're up there since I thought of those first.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

No particular order...

Madvillain - Madvillainy
Non Phixion - The Green CD
Pedro the Lion - Achilles Heel
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic
Jolie Holland - Escondida
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Gomez - Split the Difference
Deerhoof - Milk Man
De La Soul - The Grind Date
Gift of Gab - Fouth Dimensional Rocketships Going Up

[Sleepy Weasel]

I thought a ghost is born was underrated. It's not as good as YHF but it's still easily in my top 5.

Modest Mouse, interpol, kanye west, and franz ferdinand would probably round out my list.

[dchao]

Sum 41 - Chuck

P.S: Zeus, thanks for telling us you're alive.

[Pearl Jam]

Edit: Rooney- Rooney

I am so sick of Maroon 5 and their wimpy songs. I feel like murdering the radio.

You realize this is a big (yet hilarious) contradiction...right? Rooney's album has 12 songs. 11 of them are love songs, then one is a song making fun of pop stars when Rooney is pretty poppy themselves. SO YOU SEE?!? NOT ONLY HAVE YOU CONTRADICTED YOURSELF, ROONEY CONTRADICTS THEMSELVES AS WELL ASE;LDKJ346098ASDF;OIJ

For the record, I like Rooney despite their wussy ways.

[eehh]

lars frederiksen - viking (all songs)
slipknot - vol 3 (the subliminal verses)
kittie - until the end (half good, half crap)

[Pearl Jam]

Oh yeah, I forgot about this part. These aren't ranked:

1. The Thrills - Let's battle bohemia
2. The Mars Volta - De-loused in the comatorium
3. The Hives - Tyrannasaurus Hives
4. The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
5. Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon
6. Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand (like zeus, I am also burnt out on this)
7. The Foreign Exchange - Connected (ambient dutch dj and an american mc..pretty cool)
8. Gomez - Split the difference
9. The Killers - Hot Fuss
10. The Distillers - Coral Fang
11. Amon Tobin - Out from outwhere

Ok so I have 11. DO SOMETHIN

[DoTheFandango]

Songs about Jane came out in 2002
