KillSwitch Engage- The End Of Heartache

Nightwish- Once

My Chemical Romance- Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

The Killers- Hot Fuss

Arcade Fire- Funeral

Green Day- American Idiot

The Used- In Love And Death

Leaves' Eyes- Lovelorn

American Idiot - Green Day

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance

Hot Fuss - The Killers

 

 

and that's literally all I got. U2 don't deserve a top five spot for a couple decent songs on an album of mediocrity.

Have you heard The Used's In Love And Death? They were close friends with MCR at the time, and it was written in the aftermath of frontman Bert Mcracken losing his fiance in death. It's a schizophrenic, genius pop/emo album that is soft and sweet one moment, and deranged and violent the next. An unpredictable, emotional and memorable album. I'd vote it over MCR any day.

I have not!

 

But I suppose I shall sooner than later now, although I've not been on my emo in a few months really.

Many thanks to The Cupcake Warrior for starting these threads of the 2000's.

 

It has been great fun taking a focused look at the music of those years.

 

Each top 5 album associated with each particular year have special meaning to me.

 

Not too far back of a journey on memory lane, but a wonderful look back all the same.

 

Thank you for that kind sir.

In no particular order again:

 

 

1: Bring Me the Head of Gordon Sumner -- Admiral James T. Switzerland's best rocker

2: The Empire Strikes First -- Bad Religion It's always about the lyrics

3: Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots -- Self-titled Munly's stories reveal a beautiful ugly

4: Uh Huh Her -- P.J. Harvey As always, if she makes an album it's here

5: Soviet Kitsch -- Regina Spektor Another poetic pianist like Tori, but with more winks

I unforgivably neglected the magnificent Dirty South by the Drive By Truckers. Drop Regina, she made better albums later. Also, Slim Cessna's Auto Club put out the excellent Bloudy Tenent Truth Peace, but since I think their live album of pretty much the same songs a year later was far superior, I didn't include it. Then for the 2005 list I decided a live album shouldn't count. Oh well. They'll get on for Cipher in 2008.
