albums of 2001

[Mossopp]

I see someone has posted a topic on the best singles of the year, but what about the best albums? Here's what I think, in no particular order -

'Gorillaz' - Gorillaz
'Beautiful Garbage' - Garbage
'Hybrid Theory' - Linkin Park
'Height of Callousness' - Spineshank
'Bleed American' - Jimmy Eat World

Nice topic, Mossopp.
I'll just narrow it down to the ones I bought this year, that may of come out in 2000 as well as 2001, of course. Mind you, I bought over 30 cd's(I'm not kidding) since June, so here's
My top 5:
"Parachutes" Coldplay
"Is This It?" The Strokes
"Just Enough Education to Perform" Sterophonics
"Hybrid Theory" Linkin Park
"The Invisible Band" Travis

I did indeed buy the Gorillaz album, and sadly, it did not make my top five. I think Damon Albarn is brilliant, but I'd rather listen to Blur's "Best of".

Well, I really love Gorillaz. I think I've mentioned to you before that I don't particularly like Blur anymore. I loved their earlier stuff but, in my opinion, they really lost it after their self-titled album. '13' was pretty awful so I stopped caring about them after that. Have you ever heard any of Graham Coxon's (he's the guitarist) solo stuff? I liked the song he sang on 'Blur' called 'You're So Great' so I went out and bought one of his solo efforts.....and it was awful!!!
Completely changing the subject - I bought the Grand Theft Audio album, 'Blame Everyone', today. It's pretty good. Their gutarist used to be in 3 Colours Red before they split up. They were cool - did you ever listen to them?

LOL- she said your favorites, not every album you own!

I have to agree with Cokies and put Sterophonics- JEEP on here...it's great! Anyway, my favorite album I bought this year is probably Dexter Freebish- A life of Saturdays. I realllly like it, it's good....I dunno, I didn't buy that many cds this year, mostly because I fixed my burner during the summer (I had lots of time on my hands, could you tell?!) and I got DSL, so I could download songs easier.

Yep, you have mentioned that you don't particualrly care for Blur anymore, and I know where you're coming from. While I do enjoy the self-titled album, and to a lesser extent, '13', they did seem to lose what made them great. But hey, all great bands do.

3 Colours Red! I remember them. Their song "Beautiful Day" defines 8th grade for me(that's when the song came out). I bought the album way back then, but now it's in storage and I haven't listened to it in ages. I do like it though.
