I seem to switch my musical tastes every month, but from all the crap that I listened to (from techno to Hillary Duff) this is what I found to be the best albums that I discovered this year (some albums are old but just new to me). Funny thing is that if you were to ask me how many of these CDs I actually payed for I don’t think I really paid for a cingle one (I feel guilty).
Songs that I listened to over 100 times:
- Five For Fighting 100 years
- Blood Hound Gang Bad Touch (Let’s do it like…)
- Counting Crows Accidentally in Love
- Vanessa Carlton White Houses (very ashamed of liking it)
Bands that I liked before turning big this year:
- O-Zone (German)
- TV on the Radio (NYC)
- Scissor Sisters (UK)
- Keane (UK)
- Silbermound (Germany)
Simply the best of 2004. Ironically the stuff I listened too also reflected my mood so I decided to put it in chronological order too.
