Hookers I was thinking the exact same thing when I looked at those lists. There were a few similar to mine, with albums I thought were good albums like Elliott Smith and Sonic Nurse, but there was one major difference. They all seemed to also feature Modest Mouse, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand and occasionally The Hives and The Thrills. I didn't get it either. Sounded more like a music magazine list, but that must be what people like, otherwise these bands wouldn't be so popular.
I also had Beasties on my list I think, but it was pretty far down as it wasn't that great an album compared to previous.

people can make up their own minds about whats good- they can also decide themselves who they want to like. bands like blink 182 and GC are continuously built up in the media- yet they dont seem too popular on this website.

And, interpol's cd was overrated, not any better than Turn off the bright lights. and, franz- please. That 'take me out' song will probably be their bread and butter for the rest of their lives. And, the hives- i have no comment, because i never liked them or listen to them closely. Couple of others that werent that great were the Thrills album (just listen to it), the new Cure, and the beastie boys (highly overrated).
it may just be personal taste? a bit far fetched of course..but it could be.

Mind you having said that most peoples lists are the same , one thing I have noticed is nobody has said the Kings Of Leon album.Which surprises me given all the hype around it.

Mind you it`s not all that great , It might just squeeze into my top 30 if I could be bothered to make a list of 30.

i really like KOL. i dunno, their just different to everything else around at the moment. they've got the whole hillbilly sleaze rock thing going on and unlike most stupid acts around at the moment they care more about the music than what they look like.

I agree completly.

[QUOTE=Sweet Jane]You get called various things because you reply to threads and yet rarely answer any topics, i.e, im interested to know what your faveourite albums of 2004 are?[QUOTE]

I don't want to come off as an advocate for Urban Hatemonger here but he did list his top 100 songs in the rock forum. So while you may not know his top X albums for 2004, but you have an idea of what he's about.

Urban Hat€monger ? 01-22-2005 03:44 PM
I did post them though

That's a pretty old post of mine you have quoted there. And yeah, he did post them.
