Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak
Guided By Voices - Earthquake Glue
The Postal Service - Give UP
The Wrens - Meadowlands
The Delgados - Hate
Fruit Bats - Mouthfuls
Angels Of Light - Everything Is Good Here/Please Come Home
The Decemberists - Her Majesty the Decemberists
Pernice Brothers - Yours. Mine & Ours
The Shins - Chutes to Narrow

That's a nice album to have if you're a D Plan fan, but I don't think it's anything great.
Here's my preliminary top ten:
1. The Wrens -- Meadowlands
2. The Decemberists -- Her Majesty, The Decemberists
3. Idlewild -- The Remote Part
4. The Shins -- Chutes Too Narrow
5. Black Keys -- Thickfreakness
6. The White Stripes -- Elephant
7. Joe Strummer -- Streetcore
8. The Libertines -- Up The Bracket
9. BRMC -- Take Them On, On Your Own
10. The Mars Volta -- Deloused in the Comatorium
I haven't heard the full Death Cab album yet, nor The Deadly Snakes or Broken Social Scene albums. So, this list may change if I find that any of those albums turn out to be as good as many people seem to think.

Coming from someone who listens to garbage like Third Eye Blind and Orgy, that diatribe was wasted.

I'm not sure it will make my top ten (I have to think about that list, a lot), but it's a great album!

Reportedly, Rhett only sucks if you are a large African-American football player.

The Woxy list actually is a pretty piss poor list when considering their playlist, I rarely listen but I did not think they played Evanesence and Audioslave. I own an alarming amount of them, less then half, but still too many.
-
I like the KEXP listener list, as well as the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Poll. Unfortunately, the security NAZI's at my work have blocked KEXP, though I can get most other radio stations.

I bet you are pretty close to having half.... you must own at least 35.
Still three or four baddies (plus Zwan and all american rejects) that they rarely played in amongst a list of pretty great albums. I bet its better than pitchforks list.
-
FYI
I was listening on Sunday when WOXY counted the top 97 albums down and they explained how they came up with them.
total airplay. Meaning every time they played a song on one of those albums, it got a point and so the album with the most songs getting airplay was generally higher on the list. They played like 6 different songs from Elephant at one time or another. whereas others may have been better albums, the songs just didnt get as much airplay

They played it a lot at the beginning of the year.
Their playlist has improved immensely as the year has progressed. I find myself switching to KEXP a lot less.
I own 33 of the albums. But several of them are 2002 albums that made the WOXY list because they still got lots of airplay in 2003.
-
I own 39 of them, the best 39 in my opinon. :D
Actually a couple of them are pretty bad, I am not saying names though. *says Radiohead under his breath*
-
i actually only own 21 of them. but i dont buy very many Cds. theres more i would buy if i didnt get sick of poeple playing them at work :)

Originally posted by sonickteam2:

Sonick, I own 21 as well...there's a lot of shit on there.
Anyhow, I bought 42 albums with a date of 2003 (I sorted them via my iTunes, so it's truly based on year of release -- I have Idlewild and Postal Service, for instance, as 2002]).
Here's my top eleven (in the best order I can estimate):
The Wrens, The Meadowlands (Ltd. Edition)
White Stripes, Elephant
Guided By Voices, Earthquake Glue
Fountains Of Wayne, Welcome Interstate Managers
The Sounds, Living in America
Scout, This Soft Life
The Shins, Chutes Too Narrow
The Long Winters, When I Pretend To Fall
The High Strung, These Are Good Times
Decemberists, Her Majesty The Decemberists
Honorable Mentions (not in order):
The Tyde, Twice
Pernice Brothers, Yours, Mine & Ours
Guster, Keep It Together
Dressy Bessy, Dressy Bessy
Death Cab, For Cutie Transatlanticism
Buzzcocks, Buzzcocks
New Pornographers, Electric Version
The Notwist, Neon Golden
-
Have to agree with Pollard...although I own 16 of the records on the WOXY list, it's pretty lame all round. Evanescence? What???
-
In no particular order...
The Coral - Magic And Medicine
The Bandits - And They Walked Away
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands
I Am Kloot - I Am Kloot
Rain Band - Rain Band
White Stripes - Elephant

Not mine. That station gets on my fucking nerves! Has nothing to do with the music, it's all the very irritating talk and commercials, otherwise, I'd listen. I usually listen to 3wk.com and sometimes various other stations. I never, ever listen to WOXY.
Just a start off the top of my head....
I Am Kloot - Life In A Day
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands
The Rain Band - The Rain Band
The High Dials - A New Devotion
South - With The Tides
Electro Amp Cynic - The 8 Album
Trespassers William - Different Stars
The Wrens - The Meadowlands
Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People

That would make sense if he likes the same music, wouldn't it?
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.

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.
-
It's official...the best record I've heard this year is the Shins. Great, great stuff.

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.

There's a trend here... Last it was Brendan Benson on tops this year it's The Mood Elevator.

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 thought it was just ok. I played it when I initially bought it, but not since.

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.

Listening to this for the first time right now, I like it so far, especially Romantic Comedy, but I don't think it is as good as Postal Service or that similar, IMHO.
