I can't put them in order, but here's my favorites, or at least what I listened to most, from this year:

Michelle Branch - Hotel Paper
Revis - Places for Breathing
Third Eye Blind - Out of the Vein
Pete Yorn - Day I Forgot
Deftones - Deftones
Cold - Year of the Spider
Feeder - Comfort in Sound
Live - Birds of Pray
Nine Days - So Happily Unsatisfied (not officially release yet)
The Starting Line - Make Yourself at Home EP
Story of the Year - Page Avenue
The Streets - Original Pirate Material
Socialburn - Where You Are


Biggest letdowns for me:

Fuel - Natural Selection
Coldplay - Rush of Blood to the Head (the singles were good, but as a whole... definitely not as listenable as Parachutes)
Eve 6 - It's All in Your Head (none of the fun that Horrorscope had)
Finger Eleven - Finger Eleven
Something Corporate - North (with the exception of Space, it sounds like one 40-minute long song)

JOHN MAYER- HEAVIER THINGS


yup

i'm terribly sorry sir, but you seem to have misquoted me.
jackass.

in respect to what was said by the person above me.. i agree, lol. if anything that just further proves the point that because things sell a lot doesn't mean it's good.
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

Oh shit, I forgot Moneen came out this year. They're near the top of my list. Ahh, it's so good, I can't believe I lost it.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

There was no point to be proven when I made a simple fact. Like the album or not, it outsold a good chuck of the mentioned albums conbined.
