73 P Bass Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 What was your favorite album of 2004? After a careful reminiscence of the past 365 days, I'd have to say Prince "Musicology" spent the most time in my CD player (not only that, but I actually listened to it the most). So my favorite was Prince "Musicology". "Start listening to music!". -Jeremy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikmag Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Sonic Youth's sonic nurse is my choice for this year. The song writing is really solid and with the exception of one of the songs, i love 'em all. Kim's voice still kind of annoys me sometimes though, but she has some cool bass lines. We distort. You abide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basses_arent_fish Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 The soundtrack to 'O Brother Where Art Thou' - it was playing in a vintage furniture shop I was looking in, I went straight to the music store beside it and bought it. Best impulse purchase ever. It's not from 2004... but it was my favourite this year. SWR Amps: Amplify your furniture! Errr.... future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohhhhh6 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Album that came out THIS YEAR or like, whenever? My favorite album was probably Radiohead' Hail to the Thief, though it didn't stay in my cd player as much. I think was from last year, so that was kinda recent... right?

Mike Bear Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Swallow The Sun -"The Morning Never Came" Heavy, melodic, moody, metal, doom, death. mmm good production. Finnish metal. Gotta love it. The first time in many years where I've listened to an album that came out that particular year most.

tatudbassman Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I just re-discovered U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind". Over the past few days (and after being a U2 fan for years), just now have I come to love this CD. It's just seems melodic,uncensored,simple,open etc...somewhat like the band...their self.

davebrownbass Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Would have to be Allison Krauss and Union Station "Live." Not exactly a 2004 release, but I spent a lot of time with it. I have also given 4 double CD sets and 3 DVD sets to friends and family. Spread the word. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread.

Rick Hoffman Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Megadeth's "The System Has Failed" Only Cd I've bought in years. True to old school heavy metal. I was very surprised when I heard this, every song is a good song and not filler material around 2 or 3 good hits. Sounds like this album should have been released 10 years ago! It really is a good buy if you like metal or hard rock. I've been spending some time on the songs "Back in the Day" and "Kick the Chair"...

Steve Lawson Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Julie Lee - Stillhouse Road. Fantastic nu-country/bluegrass album that features the mighty Dave Pomeroy on bass, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill on harmonies and Colin Linden and Rob Ickes on dobro... a magical record.

groovyjazzyfunky Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Modest Mouse's "Good New For People Who Love Bad News." Hated it at first, didn't "get it" for a long time, but it's really grown on me. Also CAKE's "Pressure Chief." And Prince's "Musicology." And I'm a huge U2 fan, but I think the new album has been way over-hyped. It's good, but it sounds much like the last album to my ears, not the "raw" back-to-roots album that critics and the band themselves are saying it is. It just sounds like same old, same old U2, or maybe even U2 trying too hard to sound like U2. All your bass are belong to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice you are a "Kindred Spirit" on her site! yeah, I played bass for Julie on a UK tour a couple of years ago, and we hang out whenever she's in the UK or I'm in Nashville - if you get a chance to see her live, jump at it - one of the most compelling singer/songwriters I've ever seen. Man, playing on stage with someone you want to just sit and listen to is tricky sometimes! Steve www.stevelawson.net StevieLand - go on, you know you want to!

bc_dup1 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Probably my favourite album released and heard in 2004 was Kanye West's "College Dropout". There early signs it could be replaced as my "Best of 2004" by Enrico Rava's "Easy Living" only acquire a few days ago. If DJ Mix/compilations are allowed, St Etienne's "The Trip" is another contender. Best "old" album I heard for the first time in 2004 was probably John Coltrane's "Ole". I've been surprised at how much I've enjoyed this given that it's one of his less regarded albums. I liked it more than many of his classic stuff. Other contenders include Joe Lovano's "Rush Hour" and William Parker's "Mass For The Healing of The World", both sublime in their very different ways. It was also the year I really got into Crossings/Mwandishi/Sextant period Herbie Hancock, patchy but intermittently great and always interesting.

Danzilla Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Definitely would have to say my favorite is Marillion's latest, "Marbles". It's prog, it's pop, it's plain ol' rock. Runner up: Caedmon's Call: "Share The Well" Bassist Jeff Miller finally seems to be finding his own voice; I thought on the last few albums his playing was, well, uninspired/ing; now I take notice of what he's doing. Honorable mention: I just got Neal Morse's "One" so I haven't had a chance to absorb it, but Randy George plays nice & tasty.

Cup_dup1 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Last buy of the year? Jaco Pastorious, debut album. I only listened to it today for the first time, it's great! I think it's miles better than Weather Report's "heavy Weather". Earthier, not as elevator and twee. I can't believe some of you folk can play Portriat Of Tracy Grizzly Bears Don't Fear Anyone.
