Maybe the best year for new music since 1979? Seriously - a lot of very good stuff and an unusual amount of really, really great stuff. I think there's a natural break after #5 on my list - all of those would have been my CD of the year in other years. 1. Green Day 2. Silversun Pickups 3. IAMX 4. Jets Overhead 5. Adam Marsland 6.
