I could go on but it would take pages, 2004 kinda sucked.
I'm not sure if I liked or hated The Arcade Fire's "Funeral" so i've decided not to put it anywhere.
Elliott Smith's "From a Basement on a Hill"... I feel if he was around to put the record out, it would have been a lot better, but seems like a hodgepodge of tracks, but some of them are great.
