1. Reality-David Bowie (his best album in 20 years)
2. 0304-Jewel (the only "great" pop album of 2003 IMO. Her fans hate it because it's a sellout, and I understand that, but it's still a great dance/pop album)
3. Say You Will-Fleetwood Mac (not in a league with Rumours or Tusk, but still a fine effort)
4. Welcome Interstate Managers-Fountains Of Wayne (great that they FINALLY scored a hit in 2003, been following them since Radiation Vibe)
5. American Life-Madonna (nowhere as bad as people make it out to be)
6. Permission To Land-The Darkness (a great album that gives glam rock the comeback it's needed)
7. Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook-Bette Midler (I hate standards albums, but Bette made it fun)
8. Meteora-Linkin Park
9. The Movie Album-Barbra Streisand (didn't like it much)
10. One Heart-Celine Dion (her worst album ever, I sold this one a month after I bought it)

those 10 are the only "new" albums I bought that came out in 2003 not counting reissues and compilations. Needless to say, very little current music interests me much.

she has a new album out? I loved her debut from 93 and Bitter, never got around to checking Cookie or the 96 album out. But it seemed like Cookie just came out not too long ago

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Measure Of A Man - Clay Aiken
In The Zone - Britney Spears
Dangerously In Love - Beyonce

All the other ones are from 2002.

Yes Cookie came out in 2002, and there was a quick turnaround for Comfort Woman late 2003.

would somebody who isn't much of a hip hop fan, but admittedly does like everything he's heard from Outkast thus far (Hey Ya, The Way You Move, The Whole World, Miss Jackson, Rosa Parks) like the Outkast cd? I have one of Missy's cd's because I liked the singles, but the entire album had too many guest stars on it that I only liked a few songs, I notice a lot of people who aren't really hip hop fans are loving this album. Would I, considering I do like both singles?

If you're familiar with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, I've thought of Speakerboxx/The Love Below as something somewhat influenced by that. Big Boi's cd is funky, reminiscent of George Clinton's funk stuff, and Andre's cd is left field eclectic, reminiscent of the spacier stuff Clinton did. Plus, Andre is a big Prince fan and you'll hear some of that influence as well. If you've liked everything you've heard from Outkast, you'll like the cd. Plus, Outkast came in at #1 in the Village Voice critics poll.
