it offends me that they are not higher.

 

Chris' hometown acts FTW.

.::Number SEVEN::.

.:: Little Jackie :: The Stoop

 

.::Highlights :: ALL! except One Love & I Liked You Better Before; FAVE - Black Barbie

 

 

::. My second fave obsession of the year, I'm glad i found this band. Although the lead singer sings horribly live (heehee) I adore the studio album Little Jackie recorded

.::Number SIX::.

.:: CSS :: Donkey

 

.::Highlights :: ALL! except I Fly & Air Painter; fave - Rat Is Dead (Rage)

 

 

::. Not long ago this summer i wrote in my signature something like "Donkey - album of the year" even though i haven't heard it that time yet. In the end i was right - as CSS' previous self-titled album "Cansei De Ser Sexy" - "Donkey" is absolutely fabtastic. The band didn't change their style and it's a good sign.

.::Number FIVE::.

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/KINGSLEON08.JPG

 

.:: Kings Of Leon :: Only By The Night

 

.::Highlights :: Use Somebody, Sex On Fire, Crawl (fave), Closer, Revelry, Be Somebody

 

 

::. I got into KoL properly only after i heard this album and Sex On Fire song. In my opinion the band changed something in their style, the music became catchier, the lyrics are smarter now. I'm not the one who followed their carreer and i don't know how this album differs from their e.g. first studio album but what i know now for sure is that i love the band

.::Number FOUR::.

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/BLPRERELCD.JPG

 

.:: Bloc Party :: Intimacy

 

.::Highlights :: Ares, Mercury, Talons (fave), Biko, Signs, Trojan Horse

 

 

::. I heard the band at first only in late 2007 and got into them only after Mercury has been released. 3 weeks at number one for this single at my chart and 9 weeks foir the second single - Talons which has equalled the record and became the second in the list of songs that have had most weeks at number one. The current list is now as follows:

1. Evanescence - Bring Me To Life; 9 weeks at No.1

2. Bloc Party - Talons; 9 n-c weeks at No.1

3. Britney Spears - Toxic; 8 weeks at No.1

4. Evanescence - My Immortal; 8 n-c weeks at No.1

 

Overally, I wish i heard about the band in the day Silent Alarm came out.

GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY.

 

 

Johnjo's favourite.

.:: Laura Marling :: Alas I Cannot Swim

 

.::Highlights :: ALL! FAVE - Captain And Hourglass

 

 

::. 10 weeks at number one surely don't guarantee anything lol but i really love this album. 18 (or so) year old girl writes such amazing songs, that was like shock to me. Alas I Cannot Swim really attracts by its simplicity, intelligence, grace and mature. ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2008

Laura Marling :wub:

You are so predictable Chris, I knew you'd say that long before i compiled my YE album chart :kink:
