Sadly, I have yet to be truly wowed by anything this year so far! Most of the stuff I'm listening to are either best of collections from my favorite artists and FLEETWOOD MAC baby!

Here are mine...

1-10,000 Maniacs-'Campfire Songs' (Best of)
2-Prince-'Musicology'
3-Courtney Love-'America's Sweetheart'
4-Jackson Browne-'Very Best of Jackson Browne'
5-All 3 FLEETWOOD MAC reissues 'Tusk','Fleetwood Mac','Rumours'

wow 2004 has been a bad year for music so far... i really can't think of anything right now apart from Musicology that i've played alot, except for compilations like the Jackson Browne and Hall & Oates releases.

So far...

1) Stevie Salas - The Soulblasters Of The UniverseTake A Listen Here

2) Tesla - Into The Now

3) Prince - Musicology

4) Jack Blades - Jack Blades

5) Hanson - Underneath

Any list that doesn't include Aerosmith's 'Honkin On Bobo', is seriously missing something!

Oh I love writing lists ..

Shopping lists... thing to do lists .. this list .. the list goes on

1. Musicology
2. George - Patience
3. Stevie - Time 2 Love (if it ever sees the light of day)
4. Meatloaf - Couldnt Have Said It Better
5. TTD - Angels and Vampires (see stevie)

John Frusciante's Shadows Collide With People
Fantomas' Delirium Cordia
Prince's Musicology (Time will tell if this one stays on the list.....)

That's all for the list so far this year, we'll see how things shape up. Curious about that new Wilco, Sdldawn, you've actually heard it? It's not out yet.....

And yes, my list doesn't include Aerosmith's Honking On Bobo, and no, my list ain't missing a thing for it!



Stormbringer

The Cure's "Join the Dots"
Weezer's Deluxe Edition of their first album
Courtney Love's "America's Sweetheart"
Prince's "Musicology"
...and, um....a tie between the new NERD and the new Blondie...

1. Van Hunt - Van Hunt
2. N.E.R.D. - Fly or Die
3. Prince - Musicology

...

That's it.

I haven't bought many 2004 releases, but here's my list...

1. Van Hunt - Van Hunt
2. Air - Talkie Walkie
3. Dani Siciliano - Likes...
4. Alpha - Stargazing (Speical Edition)
5. Kanye West - College Dropout

I must be broken, the only 2 I can think of right now are Air-Talkie Walkie and P's Musicology

I can only think of four in no particular order....

Kylie's Body Language
Prince's Musicology
Van Hunt self titled
George Michael's Patience

I believe that's it so far. I've enjoyed bits and pieces of "Damita Jo" but it's just not good enough to deserve a place in a top five list. Same with Usher, except even worse- 2 good songs and a lot of below average filler. The new Aerosmith was a huge disappointment, imo. I couldn't bring myself to purchase it, I thought it was garbage.

The second half of the year looks promising, and there's a slight chance that Lenny Kravitz' new one in May might be decent.

I need more time.....thanks....

too soon to tell folks. let's give it more time. some honorable mentions include norah jones, prince, ani difranco & courtney love. i will get back to you on this.

1. Kanye West - College Dropout **** preach that brutha!

2. Prince - Musicology *** not his best but nice and strong effort

3. Damita Jo - Janet *** highly under-rated and dissed on and stands above All 4 U

4. NERD - Fly or Die ***1/2 nice record but not as catchy as In Search Of

5. Usher - Confessions ** (only cuz there arent really any mo new albums i heard other than those and Carl Thomas, but im sure usher will be replaced quickly, cuz while it started off good..it got lost in the middle).

Mu - Afro Finger And Gel
Nellie McKay - Get Away From Me
Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters
Books - The Lemon Of Pink
Cee-Lo - Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul Machine
