The only album off hand that I've bought from 2003 was Lamb of God's "As the Palaces burn." It was decent.

[Ilya]

Hope was fantabulous.

[aussie]

Radiohead's album "Hail to the Theif" was pretty good.

[Mr. Peanuts]

nothing much really happened for my taste of music so i havent bought any albums this year at all. just single past songs.

[aussie]

Radiohead's album "Hail to the Theif" was pretty good.
So was Silverchair's "Diorama"
I don't know what else is out there.. I didn't buy anythign else.

Not really the same thing, since these didn't really come out this year, but I discovered them for myself this year, so it's my list for 2003. Not necessarily in order...

Sage Francis - Personal Journals (I don't think Hope measured up_
Non-Prophets - Hope (no personal journals, but sage is still the man)
El-P - Fantastic Damage
Dr. Dooom - forget what its called, but I like it even better than dr. octo
Typical Cats - Don't know the name, maybe they only have one (thanks conc)
Modest mouse - long drive... (probably the only thing on my list that actually came out this year) they can do no wrong
Themselves - No music (thanks tric)
Funcrusher plus - Company Flow (el-p is a great man)
aesop rock - Float
Blackalicious - NIA
Dilated Peoples - the platform (not the most lyrically gifted, but straightforward hip hop and babu rips it like a fucking animal)

I pretty much discovered hip hop this year. There was always a few things that I liked, mostly where hip hop overlapped with other genres, but I never thought of myself as someone who listened to "rap". It turns out there's a lot that I like, I just didn't know about it yet.

Beez, if you haven't checked him out yet, I highly recommend the MF Doom albums by King Geedorah (him producing) and Viktor Vaughn (him rapping)...

edit: and Mr. Lif - I, Phantom

[ZeUs!!]

My biggest discovery of 2003 was ska-punk, or more importantly the Mad Caddies. A band that hasn't sold out, doesn't spike their hair up and go skateboarding and are really talented to the extent that they play more than 3 chords. Really good band

[Facetious]

You'd probably like Link 80's first album, Zeus.

edit: and definitely check out Catch-22's album Keasbey Nights. a ska-punk classic in my mind

[ZeUs!!]

On it!

[eehh]

Turbonegro - Scandinavian Leather

[Jerome Scuggs]

Thursday.

[Exotic]

my favorties

Thursday- war all the time
Coheed and Cambria - in keeping secrets of silent earth: 3
Brand New - Deja Entedu
Dashboard Confessional - a mark a mission a brand a scar

[papist]

never even heard of any of those bands or albums.
