1. brand new (
the devil and god are raging inside me) - they make the top of the list because after an unquestionably long hiatus, just when i thought i would finally be happy, they bring back that angst and passion that'll have me down throughout the next year.
2. sufjan stevens (
come on! feel the illinoise!) - simply because he made for the trippiest show in my life ever, both in and out of chemically altered states.
3. outkast (
idlwyld) - the roommate will have to take credit for this one here. the marching band beats hooked me from the start.
4. jack's mannequin (
everything in transit) - the fact that this album ever even came out should mean that there's a god looking out. this gives me my long-needed something corporate fix, without the questionable josh partington influence.
5. the working title (
about face) - it makes me want to fly. and then maybe cry a little bit. but the flying, definitely.
6. the fray (
how to save a life) - it didn't leave my repeat list for two months. go
grey's anatomy.
7. the last kiss soundtrack - just as beautiful as last year's garden state soundtrack. a little less nostalgic, that much more heartwrenching. still haven't seen the movie, but that's how good this compilation is. don't miss joshua radin and rachel yamagata.
8. teddy geiger (
underage thinking) - what can i say? i'm a sucker for sappy love songs. but more importantly because this album is linked to one brilliant yet canceled show of the year,
love monkey.
9. gnarls barkley (
st. elsewhere) - who else this year made a creepy laugh both imitatable and popular??
10. cobra starship (
when the city sleeps, we rule the streets) - midtown boy is back! holla at your boy! way to milk the guest vocals and corporate sponsorship for aaaall it's worth.
