    still too early to tell... thus far I am really liking the new Queens of the Stone Age and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "Howl."
    The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.

    wow, some great albums listed

    I really like the Jack Johnson disc...he is amazing

    also, Interpol was pretty good
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    but their good album was released 3 years ago.

    Also the okkervil river album is good, but I don't think it is consistent enough to rank as a top album.

    here's my nominations
    Oasis - Don't Believe the truth
    BRMC - Howl (even better after seeing them live)
    Foos - In Your Honor Disc one!

    probably gonna get ripped for Oasis but that's their best in years.

    worst:
    Colplay -XandY
    Foos - In Your Honor Disc 2
