Bimmy PM'd me the other day and brought up something I'd never thought of before; the Top 50 CD's of 2004 feature I did for Nocturnal Storms (and is linked to in my sig) can no longer be viewed since Cal made Nocturnal Storms a private board and closed the place down. So, since I don't really have the list anywhere else and some people might be bored enough to read the whole thing, I've decided to copy and paste it into my blog.

For some bizarre reason, though, when I posted the top ten, it cut off the top four. I tried editing it, but it still continued not posting the top four. I tried making a new entry for the top five, and it turned up blank. I don't know if there's some code in there it just can't understand, or what, so I'll just have to post the names of the top four:

4. The Washdown, "Yes To Everything"
3. Aloha, "Here Comes Everyone"
2. The Mae Shi, "Terrorbird"
1. Rogue Wave, "Out of the Shadows"

Beyond that, when I was looking at the list I thought just how different the list would be if I made it now. I mean, I'm still pretty happy with the list, but like any year, the best records of the year I found after the year was over. The list should DEFINETELY include entries from the likes of Jason Andersen, Turf Talk, Champion, The Cribs, and others. My number one pick would probably now be either Shy Child's "One With the Sun" (which was on the original list, and should have been number one ... it's easily still my most listened to purchase of that year) or Champion's "Promises Kept" (a record than ANYONE who is even REMOTELY interested in hardcore must own).

Also, I just want to note that my upcoming (only 4 months away!) Best CD's of 2005 list will probably be posted in this blog, since there aren't really any great all-genre encompassing music forums left to post it in anymore, and we might also see a Top 25 Rap albums of 2005 and maybe even a Top 10 Emo Ablums of 2005. Oh, and even though I haven't posted anything new in like 2 months, the MP3 Blog part of this blog isn't dead! Expect updates soon.
