Man, looking at everybody's lists really reminds me how far behind I am on
2003 releases. Well, I'll get to 'em someday.
In previous years of posting my faves to Audities, I purposely filtered out
the "non-Audities" type of music. Not this time. What follows is a
straight-ahead representation of new stuff I liked the most in 2003,
"insanely great pop" or not.
Hey, Mike B. -- I figure The Deal's GOODBYE SEPTEMBER didn't qualify as a
2003 release, because it had some tracks from 1987's BRAVE NEW WORLD,
but if I'm wrong, slip it into the # 4 position and push everybody else down
one slot. (Sorry, Trolleyvox.*)
