2004 music poll – results! - Manchester Online

TWO singers from two legendary Manchester acts were picked out as the winners of ManchesterOnline's 2004 music poll by hundreds of our users - Morrissey and Mark Owen.
 
Former Smiths singer Morrissey capped a knockout year by winning our album of the year poll for his comeback effort You Are The Quarry. Moz edged out competition from former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown’s latest LP Solarized and decks’n’ double bass duo Fingathing’s Big Red Nebula Band.

Album of the year poll results

AFTER seven years out of the limelight, Morrissey returned in 2004 with two stunning hometown shows, four top ten singles and an almost universally-acclaimed seventh solo album.

So it’s little surprise that the former Smiths frontman topped ManchesterOnline’s album of the year poll with You Are The Quarry, which received four times more votes than its nearest challengers.

The full top ten was as follows:

1 MORRISSEY – YOU ARE THE QUARRY
2 Ian Brown – Solarized
3 Fingathing – Big Red Nebula Band
4 The Charlatans – Up At The Lake
5 Badly Drawn Boy – One Plus One Is One
6 Hilton – Not Afraid To Be Happy
7 Stephen Fretwell – Magpie
8 The Fall – Interim
9 The Earlies – These Were The Earlies
10 Moco – Out To Go

Single of the year poll results

Morrissey, who bagged our album of the year award, came third in the singles poll with Irish Blood English Heart, but most of the top ten was made up of brand new acts.

The full top ten was as follows:

1 MARK OWEN – MAKIN’ OUT
2 Jack Cooper – Turn The Light Off
3 Morrissey – Irish Blood English Heart
4 Fingathing – Walk In Space
5 Nine Black Alps – Cosmopolitan
6 Jim Noir – Eanie Meanie
7 Loose Canon – What Comes Next?
8 Various - High Voltage EP
9 Hilton – Killing A Girl
10 Ian Brown – Keep What Ya Got

        I cant believe that, Ian Brown is so under-rated! I think he is great, and a collaboration with Noel Gallagher too, brilliant!

        Fingathing – Big Red Nebula Band is an excellent album I'd reccomend it to anyone. Solarized is pretty good but his previous three albums are better. haven't got a clue how Morrissey managed to win this.
