Album of 2004

Prior to the marketing junket that is the Brit Awards it would be nice to see some real opinions and not the usual back-slapping malarkey....and your favourite album of last year was????
I'll kick off with The Scissor Sisters.{Strange mix of Elton John- like vocals over some seriously camp disco;it's wrong but it works!}

"The Joy Of More Hogwash" by Martin Gordon. Former Radio Stars bass player makes excellent follow up to 2003`s "Baboon In The Basement" !!

there has been a few good compilation ones but as for artists either franz ferdinand or the lost prophets and green days new one isnt bad

Difficult this one but off the top of my head Morrissey - You Are the Quarry and one that's growing on me is Keane - Hopes and Fears but I could change my mind in 5 minutes and pick something else.

a few decent ones on mozzers new one but prefer his old ones , singles has to be the best or rank

Roomful of Blues - "Standing Room Only" Nine Below Zero - "Hats Off" Mike Sanchez - "Women & Cadillacs" Big Heat - 4-track demo Big Town Playboys - "Roll The Dice"...and I bet nobody's heard of any of 'em!

either Green Day's American Idiot - a flawed masterpiece
or
Embrace's Out of Nothing - its an easy listen

Aye the marketers are gr8 at presuming or putting tastes in ppls mouths, mind u with the likes of the Brit awards which is geared to the youth culture n who licks whos arse. To be honest i prefer the ones that have some lasting about them like the likes of Robbie, Kylie, U2 etc i mean is busted gonna last thro this yr ?!?!? probably not n do the we are diversing thing only to disappear

What is it about The Smiths/Morrissey that northerners like so much? I apologise for the generalisation here, but I haven't yet found anyone from the south that likes them, yet 'northerners' seem to love it!

I find them deeply depressing, both the music and the lyrics.

Album of 2004? That would be difficult. A choice between Eminem and Nelly, methinks, although Rewind (from Ministry of Sound) is pretty good too!

For me it would have to be KEANE .......Hopes and Fears......I am well into my fifth decade and my daughter bought me their CD for Christmas and I love it.
Not too keen (no pun intended) on a lot of the modern music.....and I don't care for either the Smiths or Morrissey......heard too much of their dirges when daughter used to live at home.

Keane - Hopes and Fears or Joss Stone
