Best Of 2004
in the spirit of the year of the chimp drawing to a close, here's the first annual instalment of the chimpomatic best albums of the year poll, an extensively researched, highly scientific endeavour…
Chimpomatic's Albums Of 2004
Black Sabbath: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
as a tribute to ozzy's recent bravery
Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
one of those albums you can come back to year after year and still hear something new; this year, it's the production and lyrics that's doing it
The Cure: The Cure
Had almost given up on these guys. Produced by the guy that produces Korn etc… (sketchy data - this might not be an official chart show fact)
UPDATE: Fact verified. He also produced At The Drive In.
TV On The Radio: Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
didn't quite live up to the black cocteau twins hype, but still cool to hear someone doing something new
Dani Siciliano: Likes…
insider trading maybe, but this is just awesome
Mara Carlyle: The Lovely
ditto.
GBV: Human Amusements At Hourly Rates
the best of the best ofs since decade. sorts out the patchiness.
Led Zeppelin: Houses Of The Holy
some of the best getting ready to go out rock ever
My Morning Jacket: It Still Moves
thanks to ian c for making us persevere with this one…
Cat Stevens: Mona Bone Jakon
one of those albums you come back to and realise it's even better than you remember.
Bob Dylan: Desire
with some live bob sightings fitted in this year thanks to dr b, this has been a constant in 2004. just edging out love and theft; sugar baby's got to be one of the best things he's ever done... (ie, it makes it into the dylan alltime top 100)
Tindersticks: Donkeys 92-97
anyone that does a good Pavement cover is alright in our book
Hall & Oates: The Very Best Of
great drum machines, surprising to find how many are etched in your brain
John Martyn: Solid Air
one of those classics you must buy that we finally got round to buying.
