Alrighty folks.
It’s not like any of you give a shit.
But why not?
So. Drum roll please. The Wonderbread top albums of the 2004. This is looking at an album beginning to end, as a cohesive item.
1. Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
2. Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse
3. Together We’re Heavy - The Polyphonic Spree
4. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - U2
5. Trouble - Ray Lamontagne
6. Genius Loves Company - Ray Charles
7. The Ditty Bops - The Ditty Bops
8. Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters
9. Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets - Gary Jules
10. Alphabetical - Phoenix
Ok, I cheated a tiny bit. “Snakeoil” was recorded awhile ago, and put out maybe in 2002, but that was being sold out of Gary Jules trunk at his few and tiny gigs. (I am an owner of one o those. There is actually different artwork, and surprisingly, I like the old better.) The album was picked up and distributed in March of this year after his cover of the Tears for Fears song “Mad World” was used in the film Donnie Darko.
I also want to point something out here…
“Franz Ferdinand,” “Trouble,” “The Ditty Bops,” ”Scissor Sisters,” and “Snakeoil” are all debut albums. That’s half of the list.
And now... I give you the wonderful top 15 songs of ’04.
1. Float On - Modest Mouse
Killer chorus with great lyrics
2. Vertigo - U2
great song made all the much better by a sweet video
3. Take Your Mama - Scissor Sisters
some awesome guitar licks
4. Trouble - Ray Lamontagne
next great singer songwriter; this is his title track
5. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
already a hit, speaks for itself
6. Ooh La La - The Ditty Bops
great blend of sounds
7. Another White Dash - Butterfly Boucher
great song to play loud in the car
8. The Rules - Ben Kweller
interesting combination of loud guitars and melodic singing
9. Walkie Talkie Man - Steriogram
just a lot of fun
10. Take Me Out - Scissor Sisters
yes, a cover of the Franz Ferdinand song, this counts for the list right?
11. What’cha Know About - Donavon Frankenreiter
great guitar hooks
12. dtla - Gary Jules
irresistible chorus
13. Mosh - Eminem
no denying the quality of the song, but just great message, provocative video
14. David - Nellie McKay
interesting vocal patterns
15. Changes - Butterfly Boucher featuring David Bowie
yes, her featuring him on his song; great from the Shrek soundtrack
