Let's see, I don't think I can actually come up w/ a good list. I don't really remember what was released this year other than Hot Fuss. Hmmm ... think about this I shall.

Good list, if I were to compile one mine would be somewhat similar to that (but of course it would include a certain band ...).

I'll EVENTUALLLLLY come back w/ a list, I PROMISE!!!

EDIT: I'm somewhat ready to compile a half decent list. There's NO way of knowing exactly how many times I spun any of these so they are in no particular order (other than the one at #1, that one by FAR kicked everyone's assss this year).

My list of most played albums of 2004:

10. Morrissey - The Best Of
09. stellastarr* - self titled
08. Steel Train - FYMD
07. Starlight Mints - Built On Squares
06. The Sounds - Living In America
05. Ima Robot - self titled
04. The Vines - Winning Days
03. Phantom Planet - self titled
02. Franz Ferdinand - self titled
01. The Killers - Hot Fuss

I knew you would get on my case about it being #7. haha.

EDIT: Nice list Meli. Nice indeed.

which is why I'm not answering this, lol

That70sGirl

Don't feel bad. I had to do research online as to when release dates were for albums I've been listening to a lot of this year. And then went through my LJ to see what music I listed and ask a few people what they always heard me listening to. haha. It wasn't an easy task for me either...

RiverSylphide

i don't think i've bought 10 albums in the last year, maybe even the last two or three... alas.

interpol: antics and betchadupa: aiming for your head have been the best i've bought/heard this year though.

BMarston

I haven't really bought that many albums since this past summer. From the fall of 2003 to the summer of 2004. I bought more cds than I've ever bought within a year LOL. Then again, that might've been because I have a longer commute to school now, and there's nothing good on the radio.

The End Has No Jen

1. The Killers - Hot Fuss
2. The Futureheads - self titled
3. Ash - Meltdown
4. The Libertines - self titled
5. Franz Ferdinand
6. Razorlight - Up All Night
7. Kings Of Leon - aha shake heartbreak ( I don't even like KOL but their new album is tremendoso)
8. The Zutons - Who Killed The Zutons
9. Interpol - Antics (OMG my friend Cherb met INTERPOL last week and was on their tourbus with them the lucky cow!!!!)
10. The Hives - Tyranosaurus Hives

OK so my fave album of 04 is the killers.... then the others kind of lose order. i bought so much music this year!! haha. 04 was goooood for music!

That70sGirl
