Here's my Top 20 list........man, I say this every year, but it's
true---they are tough, tough to do. At least for me because 1. I'm a
musical pantheist and swallow up a lot of different types of music so it's
just hard to PICK and 2. I listen to thousands of albums in a year so I'm
always missing something or over-looking an important release. And kicking
myself later. This one skews in the more pop directions of things. Not
listing Not Lame releases to yield more objectivity to the list, but this
year I did do a short separate list of Not Lame releases, which is always
incredibly hard needlesstosay.
So here goes:
1. Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt
2. Jeff Finlin - Epinonymous
3. A C Newman - The Slow Wonder
4. Braden Blake -- A Year In Pajamas
5. Mission of Burma -- ONoffON
6. Soundtrack of Our Lives - Origin I
7. The Pillbugs - Happy Birthday
8. Infinite Monopoly - Product Zero One
9. The Secret Machines - Now Here is Nowhere
10. Pinback - Summer In Abbadon
11. DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
12. Seth Swirsky - Instant Pleasure
13. Creighton Doane - Learning More & More About Less & Less
14. King Radio - You Are the Sick Passenger
15. Knockout Pills - 1+1= Ate
16. The Black Mollys - Overnight Disgrace
17. Eugene Edwards - My Favorite Revolution
18. Adam Marsland - You Don't Know Me
19. TimeWellSpent - TimeWellSpent
20. The Frauds - s/t

2. Michael Carpenter - Rolling Ball

One dig, sorry ---- Most Overated/Disappointing Album(only because
everyone fawned and gave this 4/5 stars and I swear...i heard nothing but
the sound of junkies falling apart and not a single hook to bite into.
Sad.):
The Libertines - s/t
