Hey, Stone.

My list is bigger than your list... sing it. My list is bigger than your list... sing it. And we're all going straight to hell. He, he, he, he, just kidding.

How could I have forgotten the Punk-rock opera of Green Day's "American Idiot" -- one of my faves of 2004. Doh.

[Slosh]

All of mine have been mentioned already except Rogue Wave - Out Of The Shadow which is fantastic. Highly recommended if you like the Shins (and I mean it )
Also Earlimart - Treble & Tremble which is currently in my top three and may even snag the number one spot.

Oh, I also have CD-Rs of Jim White - Drill A Hole In That Substrate And Tell Me What You See (which I will be purchasing ASAP) and Chris Whitley - War Crime Blues and that's pretty good as well but is too much like Dirt Floor and/or Weed so I feel no pressing need for a legit copy (hey, I wouldn't have bought it anyway so no sale lost).

And . . . . Davey's not kidding about that Pinback album. I'm sure it's not for everyone here but it is for many, no doubt.

NP: Rogue Wave - Out Of The Shadow

[nobody]

Forgot one that I really like and that I'm listening to right now...Old Crow Medicine Show...

Also forgot to mention the Necromantix and the Horrorpops.

May have forgotten more. Damn, I spent way too much this year. Gonna have to cut down...or start making more money.

What's really scary to me is there are still things I'd like to hear but haven't.

Funny, this board has really gotten me excited about new music coming out again. I used to love new stuff, but had kinda settled on turning up maybe one or two new groups a year at most, and just spinning old favorites or older music I just never picked up the first time around. Or grabbing new releases by old standbys.
