Seeing as there is a film of the year, and I', not to clued up on such things, I think it only right that there should be one for music too. So, in no particular order, what are you pop picker's favourite albums of the year? Here's my top 5(ish); NOR AFF!

> Interpol - Antics
> Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street
> The Killers - Hot Fuss
> Brian Wilson - Smile!
> Morrissey - You Are the Quarry

(and yes i did also like Keane and Franz Ferdinand, but someone else will bag them so there's no point duplicating things is there...)

The Killers' album was absolute genius! Best album i've bought in a good while!

Also particularly good last year were Embrace's Out Of Nothing and Jimmy Eat World's Futures.

I'd say

The Killers - Hot Fuss
Jimmy Eat World - Futures
Embrace - Out Of Nothing
Keane - Hopes and Fears
Linkin Park / Jay-Z - Collision Course (not usually my thing but thought this album was good)

snow patrol - final straw
manics - lifeblood
the killers - hot fuss
beastie boys - to the five boroughs

My mistake.

I'm a late developer, only got it in the past few months.

I loved the Killers album too, but an even better one in the same vein was the Radio 4 album. My top five would be:

The Music - Welcome to the North
Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land
Laeto - Zwoa
Radio 4 - Stealing of a Nation
Hope of the States - The Lost Riots

Keane- Hopes and Fears
KT Tunstall- Eye to the Telescope.
Embrace- Out of Nothing

Green Day - American Idiot
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane

Since I can't believe it's not been named by anyone yet

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand

by **ram39** on Fri Dec 31, 2004 2:49 pm

The Prodigy - Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned

Because despite being quite good it was definitly over-rated. Same goes for Keane. I liked them both but I can't see what all the media fuss was all about.

Nightwish: Once

Definitely their best album to date!

by **sparkler** on Fri Dec 31, 2004 7:10 pm

Green Day 'American Idiot' and Franz Ferdinand 'Franz Ferdinand' top my list, and i know they broke up years ago, but ben folds five have been in my cd player all year. they rock!

by **Haunted** on Fri Dec 31, 2004 7:30 pm

Rammstein - Reise, reise

anyone notice a developing pattern here? does anyone who doesn't listen to indie music have an opinion? i liked

Avril Lavigne "Under My Skin"
Maroon 5 "Songs About Jane"
Scissor Sisters "Scissor Sisters"
Britney Spears "Greatest Hits"
Natasha Bedingfield "Unwritten"

by **Superstar** on Fri Dec 31, 2004 9:42 pm

I would go for The Killers, Kasabian, KT Tunstall, Libertines and The Verve singles and Jeff Buckley Grace re-release,for the bonus "new" tracks on both.

Anyone got any albums they're looking forward to this year? I'm not sure who has albums coming out...

by **morn_69** on Fri Dec 31, 2004 10:11 pm

Keane- Hopes and Fears
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane
Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters
Britney Spears - Greatest Hits
Lucie Silvas - Breathe In
All are great Albums

My vote goes to:

Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters (definitely my most listened to album this year)
Green Day - American Idiot
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane

and I'd also like to give a nod to Pet Shop Boys - Pop Art, which, while it was released last year, is definitely the album I wanted most this year.

not only "indie" albums count (i.e. scissor sisters, brian wilson or maroon 5 are not indie), so i reccomend a hearty does of stabbing yourself in the eyes with indie pencils! I definitely agree that natasha bedingfields album is unwritten, I know it is terribly bad, but i dont think even mcgonnagal could come up with something that bad on purpose.
