It hasn't been a great year for albums IMO. But:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
Eminem - The Eminem Show


Musiq's 'Juslisen' is not bad, 'Sea Change' by Beck is cool but takes a while to get into.

Can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Wilco...Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Bruce Springsteen...The Rising
Coldplay...Rush of Blood to the Head

1.The Colored Section--Donnie
2.Cookie--MeShell Ndegeocello
3.Juslisen--Musiq
4.In Search of--NERD
5.Acoustic Soul--India.Arie (my fave from 2001)

"Ultimate Manilow" Barry Manilow Hands down.the Comeback of the Year

hmmm ...

pearl jam: riot act
dj shadow: the private press
coldplay: a rush of blood to the head
gus gus: attention
tori amos: scarlet's walk
sleater kinney: one beat
joan osborne: how sweet it is
jurassic 5: power in numbers
the chemical brothers: come with us
beth orton: daybreaker
superdrag: last call for vitriol

um, that's all.

Since it's been a weak year here's my top picks :
Bowie - Heathen
Beck - Sea Change
David Garza - Overdub

How did Fhunkin and DavidEye manage to have a post before the thread started???

Bloody hell..I'm going insane!

Anyway, I dig Norah Jones "Come away with me" and Meshell's "Cookie".

...and ONA Live!
