ahem...who was it that's been preaching The Shins 'round these parts. I'll mail you copies if that's what it takes to get you to check them out (offer good for Virex only, while supplies last).

Kings of Leon wasn't half bad either, I seem to have 13 of the top 50. I've wanted to check out Peaches also, if only for the name of the CD...which evidently is allowed on these forums too.

I take this list with about a boatload of salt. Especially when they list one hit wonders like "Junior Senior", as well as Metallica's "St. Anger" which has only sold about 1.5 million copies in the U.S.

I think it's a shame that they left out Audioslave, in additon to Hatebreed's newest album, which is being heralded as the one of, if not the greatest hardcore albums of all time. Not to mention it debuted No. 30 on Billboards Top 200, and made #1 on their hard charts.

I'd love to visit the colleges and coffee shops they poll kids at for these ridiculous lists.

I don't really want to comment on this list because I've only heard a handful of these albums, so I won't.

'Course, as it always needs to be said with these types of things, high sales don't necessarily equal good, and low sales don't necessarily equal bad.

And Audioslave came out in 2002--that probably explains why it's not on this "best of 2003" list.

Must have been that I didn't get Audioslave until 2003, then.

I just find it hard to belive that more than 1 person would have mentioned a band called "Fannypack", in order to make a list.

Man.

I am SO out of touch.

Out of this list, all I have are:

22.  Metallica  St. Anger
15.  Radiohead  Hail to the Thief

I'm a little disappointed that they left Liz Phair off the list...
I guess I just don't get the kids today.

Or, I spend all my money on SW Action Figures and DVDs and just don't buy CDs anymore.

Yeah, I noticed the exclusion of both the Liz Phair and Zwan albums--both of which came out this year, and that I at least liked a little bit.

However, at best, they were average in quality compared to what those two artists (Phair and Billy Corgan) have done in the past, so that's probably why they weren't on there.

I wonder if WhiteChocolateSpaceEgg (1988) and Machina (2000) made their best-of lists for their respective years. . .

Sweet, Jeff has as many as I do, now I don't feel as bad

RS also has their Top 10 movies in the latest issue (probably on their website too)

1. Mystic River
2. ROTK
3. Lost in Translation
4. Master and Commander
5. Cold Mountain
6. American Splendor
7. Big Fish
8. A Mighty Wind
9. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
10. Angels in America

Sadly, I've only seen A Mighty Wind and want to see almost all of these

Nice on-topic reply, dickwad.  

How about a new "movies" thread?

That was last week.

This week, dickwad.

Next week, either "dickhead" or "assface".

Your preference?
