Album of the year - Nominations

[Unorthodox Yank]

Consider me unlazy enough.

Well, as this year is winding down...i figure it's time to go ahead ans start the nominations process.

We have over a month to figure out how this is actually going to work out...but for now everyone can just post what they feel, and we (meaning...I) will jsut sift throught the junk later. OR just re-post it. Whatev.

Try not to make more than 3 nominations

In any case...my 3:

Electrelane - The Power Out
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic In The Attic
Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

have at it.

[X X I]

Mos Def - The New Danger
De La Soul - The Grind Date

[obie]

2nd on Satanic Panic.

Others:
Franz Ferdinand /obvious
Killers -- Hot Fuss
Wilco -- A Ghost Is Born -- even though every music critic on the planet is their bitch, it's still great.
Secret Machines -- Now Here Is Nowhere

Whoops, that's five. Oh well.

There are some things I've bought recently that I haven't listened to yet (Ted Leo, The Dears) and things that have been Gmailed to me that I haven't even sampled (Elliott Smith, The Arcade Fire, Ambulance Ltd) and things that I will eventually buy but just haven't (Clinic, Luna, Brian Wilson's Smile). But I'll get around to all of those before the end of the year, I'm sure.

A Ghost is Born - Wilco

Of course, it's the only non-Latin album I bought this year.

[hangthadj]

In no order

The Streets - A grand don't come for free
Trashcan Sinatras - weightlifting
Finn Brothers - everyone is here
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Elefant - Sunlight makes me paranoid (though that may be more sentimental than anything else)

[bmurphyfl]

Since Of Montreal's album has already been nominated and seconded, I'll add:

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Ambulance Ltd - self-titled
Old Crow Medicine Show - O.C.M.S.

[YanksFC]

Ambulance Ltd. - LP
The Cardigans - Long Gone Before Daylight
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
The Hong Kong - Rock The Faces (technically a 2003 release but I didn't discover it until this year).
Graham Coxon - Happiness in Magazines

Honorable mention to Trashcan Sinatra's "Weightlifting."

[Mad_Bishop]

second on the Arcade Fire, probably my #1 right now

2. Interpol - Antics
3. Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill

[Father Ted]

I'll reserve judgement until I hear U2's new album which is coming out on the 23rd.

[ThrashBoy]

The Cardigans - Long Gone Before Daylight

Came out in the middle of 2003.

My nominations:
Wax Poetic - Nublu Sessions
Mastodon - Remission
Enrique Bunbury - El Viaje a Ninguna Parte

[B1]

The Streets- A Grand Don't Come For Free (my favorite this year by far)
K-oS- A Joyful Rebellion


I would have also said Basement Jaxx- Kish Kash but I just looked up the release date and saw that it was October 2003. I thought it was early 2004. Oh well.

I'll reserve judgement until I hear U2's new album which is coming out on the 23rd.It's not all that great, sadly.
