Top 10 Albums of 2003

[sonickteam2]

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

  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.

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.    
 
 Actually a couple of them are pretty bad, I am not saying names though. *says Radiohead under his breath*

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

[walkman]

Have to agree with Pollard...although I own 16 of the records on the WOXY list, it's pretty lame all round.  Evanescence?  What???

[Yank]

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
 Le Neon - Luss
 Lomax - A Symbol Of Modern Living
 Colder - Again
 Oceansize - Effloresce
 
 and bubbling under...
 
 Shack - Here's Tom With The Weather
 Puressence - Planet Hopeless
 Tim Burgess - I Believe
 British Sea Power - The Decline Of

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

Is that the excuse he gave you when he turned you down?

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
 
 (to be continued...)

You must listen to the same radio station and read the same music magazines as a number of other people on here.

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.
