This past year was not a great one for music. Sure, it was the year that "indie" became a marketing classification, but there were many dissapointments, like underwhelming efforts from Wilco, Old 97s, !!! and Interpol and the continued dominance of mall-punk in both boy-band and pop tart forms (really, is there anyone who would disagree that Good Charoltte are just N'Sync in eyeliner? Well, that and Good Charlotte are fat.)
That said, there were some gems this year and so, for no one's consideration, here's my picks for the best albums of 2004.
10)Stars- Set Yourself on Fire
9) Kasabian-s/t
8) Camera Obscura-Underacheivers Please Try Harder
7) Bloc Party- s/t (EP)
6) Felix da Housecat-Devon Dazzle and the Neon Fever
5) Le Tigre-This Island
4) The Futureheads- s/t
3) The Streets-A Grand Don't Come For Free
2) The Organ-Grab That Gun
1) Franz Ferdinand-s/t
