That's a good one too.  But really I only like the first five tracks.

I'm with you on the Kylie album, although, beyond the singles, the Annie disc didn't do anything for me.  
 
 Still, I wanted to hate this, but I'll be damned if it isn't a fairly fun album:

Why did you want to hate this? [/b]

I could not stand everything I had heard from them before this album. Corin's voice irritated the hell out of me, but I decided to give this record a chance to see what all the fuss was about, and because I'm a Dave Friddmann fan. Her voice still bothers me sometimes, but damn - this album RAWKS!

The Libertines.  Dang they are catchy in a Television Personalities way, but the coking of Katie Moss is just so wrong.

 and Arctic Monkeys for me, too.  I can't deal with over-hyped artists.
