Entertainment Weekly's 27 Albums [They]'re Most Thankful For
Since we all starting linking up around the office on i-Tunes, music, music evaluation, and other things relating to music have been "in the air."
So, I thought you-all would benefit from this list, published in the current edition of Entertainment Weekly. Each album has some commentary attached to it, but I am not going to take the time to type all of that out. Spec will have the edition at his desk at the start of next week, so you can read the full info by borrowing it from him at that time.
1. GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE BAD NEWS, Modest Mouse
2. AMERICAN IDIOT, Green Day
3. BOWS + ARROWS, The Walkmen
4. A GRAND DON'T COME FOR FREE, The Streets
5. HOT FUSS,The Killers
6. NOW HERE IS NOWHERE, The Secret Machines
7. MEDULLA, Bjork
8. FRANZ FERDINAND, Franz Ferdinand

I top the list of lame, because I can't even NAME 30 albums that came out in 2004, let alone rank them. In fact, I would be hard-pressed to come up with 10.
Lame. Old and lame.
