Best and worst album you bought in 2004

The best album I got would be Neil Young's Greendale.
Worst album was VHS or Beta's "Night on Fire". I liked their music when saw them at the Blackcat but the album is really awful.

That Beastie Boys cd got old really quick. The new Clutch record kicked ass.

Worst - Beautiful South, Headnodders.
Best - Beautiful South, Headnodders.
I have really come to like the album, although I thought it was awful at first. I think I was disapointed it was just an album of covers, because Paul Heaton is one hell of a songwriter in his own right. But once I got past that it's a great album. A bit like Billy Bragg and that Mermaid avenue shit, although that was still shit after I had gotten over the fact they weren't his original songs.
Someone bought me Keane (not Roy) and I like that also.

Best: Toss up between Wilco "Ghost is Born" and Arcade Fire "Funeral"
Worst: British Sea Power. The first two songs are great (which were all I listened to in the store) and the rest of the album is unlistenable.

Assuming "bought" isn't a relative term:
Best: Bugge Wesseltoft - Film Ing
Worst: none - I actually listen to music before I buy it.
Assuming "bought" is a relative term meaning "acquired":
Best: The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Worst: The Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere

Actually I dont think Ted Leo was the best, but the gomez album might well have been the worst. I like all there other albums too. Notice how one of the songs is a complete rip-off of a clash song…..

Mine was actually combining those albums with shows I saw by them this year. I though Ted was great and the show made me enjoy the album more. I went to gomez and was bored out of my gourd.

ouch … that BSP disc took me a few listens to get into (i assume you're talking about their LP), but i really love it now … their live show is second to none … WW1 army drummer? tons of acid? hanging from the pipes at black cat? … awesome ….

I didn't buy anything particuarly godawful, but I was pretty disappointed with Firey Furnaces. Just didn't catch on.

I couldn't disagree more.
Blemish was a tremendous step forward for Sylvian. He managed to make music that was dramatically different from his previous efforts without losing his identity. And the results were phenomenal.

Best: Franz Ferdinand (self-titled)
Worst: The Darkness- 'Permission to land'
The Darkness was sooo overhyped! I think it had more to do with the lead singer raiding Steve Tyler's 80's wardrobe than anything else. Okay, 'I believe in a thing called love' was pretty cool but the rest of the album sucked!

Best - Rammstein "Reise Reise"
Worst - not sure might be some dissapointing ones but if I bought it I generally found something in it I liked. I don't buy things I hate either :)
