Top 10 of 2004
number 10: Maps of the Night Sky "twilighters ep"
Maps of the Night Sky, out of the town of Tdot, they rocked me to my very core, and some how coerced this cd into my life as opposed to another round of the drink.
number 9: JELLO BIAFRA & THE MELVINS "Never Breathe What You Can't See"
So you want loud? and punk? and you want it done right? if so.. this is the cd for you, if i have to tell you who either jello or the melvins are, then how have you even come to be my friend?
number 8:Auf Der Maur "Auf Der Maur"
The First rocked out bassest on this list that i had the blessing to listen too in a long while, and it made my year go by just that much faster, pick it up, and enjoy
number 7: The Sadies "Favorite Colours"
So, your into alt-country, eh? give this a good spin, and if your not then you really need to hear this album.
number 6: Mike Watt "the secondmen's middle stand"
Mike Watt, this man can jam, and does. need i say more? no.
number 5: John Frusciante "Shadows Collide with People"
John recaptures his adventursome spirit that held me captive on "Smile From the Streets You Hold" but keeps the vibe and good graces to make this album even more listenable then the last.
number 4: Elliott Smith "from a basement on a hill"
There is nothing I could tell you that you shouldn't already know.
number 3: Eugene Kelly "Man Alive"
Eugene, please come to Canada, its not that cold.. in the summer
number 2: Wilco "a ghost is born"
Sometimes i wonder why we even call these guys indie rock. .
number 1a: Nirvana "With the Lights Out"
Nothing on here but great lo-fi copies of stuff that you would to have loved to have heard finished, and some you did, and you did. Not for you arverage fan i 'spose
number 1b: Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered
With disk 1 being covers done by everyones favorite indie rock hero's, disk two is the origionals, and they shine like nothing has before.
number 1c: Joey Cape/Tony Sly "Acoustic"
best album all year hands down. thats it.

1a: does not classify as a Long Play album, but does well deserve to be on this list
1b: does not classify as a Long Play album by a single artist, but again does well deserve to be on this list
1c: is a long play album.
