This is a track from the album called 'Hunted by a Freak'.
Notable absentees from the list:
50 Cent - Get Rich of Die Tryin'
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Nocturama
The Ataris - So Long, Astoria
Evanescence - Fallen
Everclear - Slow Motion Daydream
Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts
Madonna - American Life (although this was probably one album too many for Madonna)
The Dandy Warhols - Welcome To The Monkey House
Therapy? - High Anxiety
Fall Out Boy - Take This To Your Grave
Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance
Jet - Get Born
Blink-182 - Blink-182
Hoobastank - The Reason
and I voted for Other with the nod going to Linkin Park - Meteora
went for other - kings of leon. I have started to notice over the last polls that my musical tastes differ greatly from the masses on here!
Some of the bands I've seen mentioned would not be my cup of tea at all. Then again I was the only one who went for Gold in the last poll.
Went for The White Stripes, but should have put other Jack Johnson - on and on. Spent a lot of 2003 swinging in a hammock on Ko Pha Ngang, chilling out to it, great album.
Not sure if I can change my vote now though:o
Other Kings of Leon.
Seize The Day - Damien Dempsey
Ah I don't know. Next year definitely, but then with the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Futureheads and Kaiser Chiefs the following year you also have the start of a bit of a 6-string resurgence with the new 'New Guitar Air'. Not to mention your Arcade Fires, Bloc Partys and Interpols.Quote:

Just on next year though, if you don't include Mylo in the poll I can see Kingdom Hoop, Sideshow Bob-like, feverishly writing out his fiendish revenge. "Disembowel him... no, I don't like that bowel there... GUT him!!!"
Surely Arcade Fire will win 2004. I'll be a bit bold here and predict it will be close in the overall running for the award.

tricky but id say 2005. That said not many classic 2004 albums I can think of. Interpol 'Antics' and Kings of Leon 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' only ones that spring to mind...Quote:

Don't you start :pQuote:

Just looked it up and verified that it was released in Canada in September 2004 so it will be included in next year's poll
I think that's one of the reasons I could never get into the Smashing Pumpkins. Somebody gave me Siamese Dream a while back and I think I was automatically put off by song names like Geek USA, Spaceboy and Silverf uck:rolleyes:Quote:

*checks poll* Damn, didn't win.
Other:
Diamonds on the inside - Ben Harper
Could just as easily gone for "Hail to the thief" - Radiohead
Outkast. Just for hey yeah. 3 minutes better than anything else on the poll
A quick tot shows Kings of Leon with three votes. This is the longest 'Other' has stayed in the running. I thought everyone loved KoL, and it would run a way with it. Seems not.
I predict KoL's two subsequent albums will win their prospective years. Not sure about the new album just yet though. it's a bit too polished.Quote:
