I was more commenting on how eerily similiar some peoples lists are…that they all must listen to the same radio stations/read the same propaganda.

Oh wait, were you implying he(she?) likes those bands *because* he reads certain magazines? I think that's the cart before the horse.

I can't imagine why you directed that comment at chokedamp. Only three of the titles on his (her?) top 10 appear on anybody else's top 10.
You, on the other hand, have six albums in your top 10 that appear on the top 10 lists of others.
I guess you must listen to the same radio station and read the same music magazines as a number of other people on here.
It's hard to believe that anybody ever gave a moron like you a job working with statistics.

Meant to reply before, are you going to Ted Leo, if so, do you want copies of these two?

1 - Neil Young - Greendale.
I will think about the other 9 albums, but to me, this one is by far the best album of the year.

Didn't make Ted Leo – was out of town.
I'll be at AmAnSet tonight. If you're going to be there, I'll gladly swap you a copy of Global A Go-Go for a copy of DCFC. I picked up a copy of Broken Social Scene already. thanks.

Looks like I may not make it tonight, will have to wait until next time. Which will probably be in January some time I guess.

Gathered up the approxmently 30 Records/EPs that I physically own and were released this year. This includes compliation and reissues. I'm not going to include the stuff acquired via Emusic or other sources which would expand my list a bit (i.e. The Carlsonics, New Phonographers, Pernice Brothers, Teenage Fanclub, Dirtbombs, etc). Like GGW there are seveal records I haven't heard yet which would expand the list further (i.e Myracle Brah, BRMC, ) I'm always back filling so my list of 2003 releases will probably look different next year.
So here is the list of Continued Favorties from 2003, it goes to 11!
1. The Mood Elevator - Married Alive
2. De Novo Dahl - EP
3. Idlewild - The Remote Part
4. Splitsville - Incorporated
5. Delagdos -Hate
6. Supergrass -
7. The High Strung
8. The Bamboo Kids
9. Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Mangers
10. D4- 6Twenty
11. White Stripes - Elephant

Far better than the previous one in my opinion.

I've been enjoying the album you gave me, and I've heard a cut from the new album getting some play on WOXY, albeit only on the "new music" segments, not the regular airplay.

Does everyone really love that Postal Service record? I think it's one of the more average things I own. I've given it a few more listens seeing how it's on many lists but it's not taking hold.

I really do, I started playing it while stuck at home working in the big snow storm last winter, it struck a chord with me then and I have loved it since.

That Postal Service CD is among the best in a long, long time.

I'm with you Grotty. I find it listenable, but not remarkable. In terms of synth driven pop, I found the Stars album to be more satisfying.

something about the guys voice works really well with the synths. Probably because it is so sickly sweet and smooth.
I think the album is great. Definitely one of the best things I have heard all year.

I really don't like his voice that much, but it works very well with his Death Cab songwriting sometimes, like on the Photo Album.
I understand why people like Postal Service so much, it's kind of different from most other indie stuff. Although I like the album, if I'm going to listen to Gibbard's voice, I prefer DCFC.

I dont think I bought that many records this year. But of the ones I did, I liked these:
Ween - Quebec
The Drive-By Truckers record
Roots - Phrenology
Tomahawk - Mit Gas
Jurassic 5 - Newest record
The live Clutch record, whatever thats called
I bought the new Janes Addiction record but barely got passed the first few songs. Maybe its OK. And I dont know if the newest QOTSA record came out this year or last, but that was good.
