We decided to do something a little different
this year for our 'Best of' roundup. Instead of a master list compiled
of submissions from our contributors and writers, we wanted to give our
writers a chance to pick their own Top 5 list of the best of the year in
music. Over the next three weeks we will be unveiling our writers' picks
for the best of 2004.
Every day we will be posting a new Top
5 list from one of our writers, selected at random. At the conclusion we
will reveal the master list. We also want to let you take part and will
be accepting nominations for a readers' choice list.
Adrian Alfonso's Top 5 of 2004.
1. Atreyu - The Curse:
No other album in 2004 has made me bang my head this hard and pump my fist
in the air like a madman. These guys are everything the darkness (the band)
want to be but never will. This album marks the return of ballsy ass rock
with solos. (samples
/ buy cd)
2. Velvet Revolver - Contraband:
HELLS YEAH nothing but kick ass hard rock. No skits, no stopping, just
straight kick ass rock. (samples
/ buy cd | review)
3. Muse - Absolution: As far
as alternative rock goes, this band can kick more ass than most metal groups
out today and still write romantic songs at the same time. (samples
/ buy cd | review)
4. Kanye West- College Dropout:
Hands down the best COMMERCIAL rap album out all year. Every song is different
and he doesnt sing about poppin anything. (samples
/ buy cd)
5. Perfect Circle - Emotive:
Honestly this couldve been better but Maynard still gets his message across.

Check back tomorrow when another member
of the antiMusic staff checks in with their top 5 list.
Wait! Be sure to submit your
nominations for the Readers' Choice list.
