don't know, this really hasn't been a great year. although the few that have come out have been absolutely amazing:

the faint - wet from birth
morrissey - you are the quarry
green day - american idiot

next year though, it'll be all about the new 'new order' stuff.

Jeeze I didn't buy many albums this year... umm....

Sarah Harmer - All of our names
Matthew Good - White Light Rock and Roll review

ya honestly that's all I purchased this year so I guess those are the best I've heard.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

The Trews - House of Ill Fame (I dunno if this came out in late 2003 but I think it's a 2004 release... great cd anyways.)

I though Mirah's C'mon Miracle was pretty disappointing. I just discovered her this year, but I thought Advisory Committee was a much better record.

Jimmy Eat World - Futures
Autolux - Future Perfect
Straylight Run - Straylight Run
Lovedrug - Pretend You're Alive
Manic Street Preachers - Lifeblood
Ash - Meltdown
The Music - Welcome to the North
Hatherley, Charlotte - Grey Will Fade
Jackson United - Western Ballads
theSTART - Initiaton
Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Please Describe Yourself
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Velvet Revolver - Contraband
Perfect Circle, A - eMOTIVe
Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder
Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill

Honorable mentions:

Arcade Fire - Funeral (I've only listened to it twice. The first time I didn't care for it, but I really liked it the second time. I would expect it to shoot up a number of spaces after a few more listens)
William Shatner - Has Been
Interpol - Antics

And probably some I'm forgetting. It has been a good year for music, but nothing's really astounded me as in years past. 2005 is going to rock my socks though.

I think Green Day might be the only album I found worth buying that came out this year. :neutral:

Regardless, even if there was a ton of other stuff that came out, it'd probably still be at the top of my list. :love: :drool:
