Best Albums of 2004

[Tref]

I only bought four new CDs all year ... and I still haven't fully listened to two of them (Elliot Smith and The Hang Ups) but I love the new album by Brian Wilson, SMiLE.

Yes. Brian Wilson presents Smile.

Jem - Finally Woken

Joss Stone - Mind, Body & Soul

Even though they were last year I listened to the Love Actually soundtrack and Ludacris - Chicken and Beer quite a bit.

I've heard such good things about Wilson's album from my friend Mike, who knows more about the Beach Boys than anyone should know, or force their friends to listen to, since they (meaning me) don't really know anything about them other than I like a lot of their music.

Shocker....

Howie Day.....Collide is the most perfect song evah.
Pink Martini....I love Hang On, Little Tomato!
Sarah McLachlan.....the concert CD/DVD is my new mainstay.
U2....best album in eons from them.


I didn't buy a lot of CD's this year. I listened to a lot of older stuff in 2004. In 2005, I'll get around to listening to the 2004 stuff.

MW--I loooove Jet. They have a BIG sound....almost Beatles big, definitely kicking Oasis's ass. I heard the full CD last month and my friend is burning hers for me.

edit: DOH! Los Lonely Boys! I bought the CD for myself for Thanksgiving... They opened for Howie Day in December and I fell in love with them. They have some range!

I got to see him open for Tori in Tampa last time I hit WDW. If you get the change, GO!

Jet~Get Born
The Killers~Hot Fuss
311~ Greatest Hits
Spiderman2 Soundtrack
Los Lonely Boys
Maroon 5~Songs About Jane
Thornley~ Come Again
Green Day~American Idiot
Velvet Revolver~ Contraband

Each of these cd's is one of my favorites. Ooh, how cool. I just realized, out of the 9 artists, I went to shows for 6 of them! Cool!

The Killers
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Tom Waites
Franz Ferdinand
Pink Martini
Kings of Convenience

Edited to add:

Garden State (soundtrack)

Oh, fie, edit function?

I meant to add Green Day's, as well, 'cause it's maybe the best overall album I've heard in a long, long time.

I should add:

Scissor Sisters
Paris Combo
