Notes: None of the above will make my top ten this year. Lots of them, in fact, are apparently not even FROM this year, as they either date back to 2002 or date back to 2004. (Who can keep track anymore?) The one most likely to make my 2004 top ten is probably the Living Things album, followed by the Mekons, bizarrely enough. Or maybe Chromeo, who knows. But my very favorite CD of all above is probably the first disc of the Marseilles best-of; disc two is a lot worse.
