replication...
because i have no original ideas, i decided to be a copy-cat and do what aerospace did...
...so here's my official
top 10+ albums of 2004, according to steal_rothko.
10 Rufus Wainwright - Want Two
9 Lali Puna - Faking the Books
8 Medeski, Martin & Wood - End of the World Party
7 David Byrne - Grown Backwards
6 Animal Collective - Sung Tongs / Panda Bear - Young Prayer
5 The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike
4 Bjork - Medulla
3 The Bad Plus - Give
2 M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
1 Adem - Homesongs
and runner-ups, although ordered arbitrarily... or are they? i don't know.
11 Wilco - A Ghost is Born
12 The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
13 Squarepusher - Ultravisitor
14 Lambchop - Aw C'mon/No You C'mon
15 Brad Mehldau - Anything Goes
16 The Cure - Eponymous
17 Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
18 William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops
19 Air - Talkie Walkie
20 The Walkmen - Bows & Arrows
and records that got me all excited, then made me sad (with justifications).
Interpol - Antics - i thought it got boring too fast, and i still think they're kind of a rip-off.
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News - i liked the moon & antarctica album a lot better. so i listened to it instead of this album.
Brian Wilson - Smile - i gave it a chance because of pet sounds, and then i thought it sucked. i think it got thrown out the window of my car, if i remember correctly.
PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her - did i like her before? now i don't know why, and i feel stupid.
Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere - i don't understand all the hype, and can't make it through the whole cd.
The Arcade Fire - Funeral - i really, really liked it, and then totally forgot about it and gave the cd away.
Franz Ferdinand - Eponymous - i gave this cd away today, as a matter of fact, to somebody who liked it, because i think it gets obnoxious.
The Killers - Hot Fuss - after a few songs, i can't bring myself to listen to the rest of it anymore.
and finally, records that i sincerely can't decide on whether i like or not, but have been listening to anyway.
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt (viva la swedish!)
Elliott Smith - From a Basement on a Hill
Futureheads - Futureheads
Menomena - I Am the Fun Blame Monster
amen.
