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" !!

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.

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!

Re: Album of 2004
 

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.

Re: Album of 2004
 

Keane - Hopes and Fears or Joss Stone

Re: Album of 2004
