[Crimson_Curse]

[lou<>phillips]

[manican sex]

trophy scars should of beat out the blood brothers.

[TheWordsmith]

portugal. the man at #1, right on

[losethegirl]

I give you enormous props for putting One Tree Hill as your show of the year. My roomate at college yells at me for watching it, and I'm a girl. But whatever, that show is frickin addicting and has amazing music.

New ASL and Blood Brothers were both pehnomenal.

Oh and your picture makes me laugh.

[aminorthreat55]

That Spark is a Diamond EP is some sweet shit.

[melvicious]

mad props for gasoline heart

[James Johnson]

great list

[dillonzach86]

Very nice to see the Gasoline Heart love. That record went really overlooked by a lot of people.

[meeotch]

Glad to see someone else is enjoying Suck Out The Poison as much as I am.

[Romancebled]

i'm loving the list. i would probably agree with yours the most compared to every other staff list.

[Jon Foucart]

thanks for the comments guys. feel free to drop your lists in here as well. i would'nt mind reading yours.

[12:46AM]

why does thursday have the best song of the year, yet isn't on your top list?

[Jon Foucart]

why does thursday have the best song of the year, yet isn't on your top list?
cause one song isnt a full album? i love the song. i hate the album as a whole though.

[lushintransit]

I love this list, I agree with everything except that you were dissapointed by two of what, imo, were the best albums of the year (Copeland & Umbrellas)

thanks man. i realyl dont know what it is, but i cant get into their latest efforts. the previous though will always be some of my favorites.

[jacnrh]

Yeah, I was a little surprised to see Copeland on the list you put them on.
It took me a lil to get into it, but now Im hooked!

Great list overall; i couldn't agree more with most of it.
