Year's Best?

[Dumbledore]

Hey guys! Just wondering what everyone's favorite 2003 musical releases are.
My list is (in no particular order):

The Church - Forget Yourself
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell
Steve Kilbey - Freaky Conclusions
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
David Bowie - Reality
Hot Hot Heat - Make Up the Breakdown
Longwave - The Strangest Things
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - The Secret of Elena's Tomb

Still haven't heard the new Broadcast yet, unfortunately. And I need to get the new Chameleons album. So these are not on my list, though I suspect that they will be.

Here's to hoping that Morrissey's new album will be on everyone's 2004 list!

 

[Almodis]

My badly-in-need-of-an-edit list includes:

Four Tet - Rounds
Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
Vini Reilly - Someone Else's Party
British Sea Power - The Decline Of British Sea Power
M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghosts
Nick Cave - Nocturama
Richard Hawley - Low Edges
Jonny Greenwood - Body Song OST
Autechre - Draft 7.30
Blur - Think Tank (I never thought I'd be including a Blurggh album on one of my best-of lists ...)
Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power
Martina Topley Bird - Quixotic
Black Box Recorder - Passanoia
Massive Attack - 100th Window (no-one else seemed to like this, but I did)
Luke Haines and The Auteurs - Das Capital (not sure this really counts as a new album)
Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts
Lost In Translation OST (just for the Kevin Shields contributions)
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands

Oh, and how could I forget - "Monday At The Hug And Pint" (Arab Strap)

> British Sea Power - The Decline Of British Sea Power

the best record of the millennium so far. Unbelivably good.

> Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power

fantastic

> Massive Attack - 100th Window (no-one else seemed to like this, but I did)

yes - I liked it too. Its more "background music" than the other Massive Attack efforts, but good nonetheless.

> Elbow - Cast Of Thousands

another great album.
