It's been a year since the last time a poll of favorite albums was taken, I just got this reminder with a few possibilities. KenB writes:
I just wanted to comment about some other Brit Pop / English bands that have new CD's: Echobelly - People Are Expensive Teenage Fanclub - Howdy Travis - The Invisible Band Cranes - Future Songs Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Live Album Lush - Ciao! (Best Of) The Ocean Blue - Davy Jones' Locker Stereophonics - Just Enough Education To Perform I wanted to mention them to you because some of these bands (like Moz) don't have major label record deals anymore or they are having problems getting US releases. Just in case anyone might be interested!!!

incidentally, don't you think that the song, "sleeping hitler" (b-side off of "bellyache ep") sounds a kind of like "the harsh truth of the camera eye"?
sonya sings (1993): "but it's much too late to be judge. oh how i wish i was blindly, i wish i was blindly, blindly loved."
morrissey sings (1991): "i don't want to be judged anymore, i don't want to be judged. i would sooner be loved. i would sooner be just blindly loved."
some cds i have bought and liked this year:
Momus - "Folktronic" (well "folk me amadeus" is just grooving.)
Deltron 3030 (i saw them on tour and didn't get this until recently, but i've really enjoyed it, unlike the kid koala album or the automator's a better tomorrow cd. they're all OK album, but deltron is the best so far, better than gorillaz!)
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (friendly rock band)
Lucksmiths - "Happy Secret" (i don't have their latest cd, but at the moment, i'm content with this one and "a good kind of nervous")
Belle & Sebastian - "...Sings Jonathan David" (okay okay this song just rocks. the more i listen to this, the better it gets. oh their last album was pretty good too, everyone seems to agree.)
Weezer - Weezer/green album (everyone loves them, no need to explain.)
Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
Gentle Waves - Swansong for You
Lush - Ciao ('spooky' is still the best ;)
Grandaddies - The Sophtware Slump
i'm sure there are a lot more i've forgot, but these are the ones that comes to my mind right now.

I haven't bought too many, but a Top 5: (Score:1)
Exciter by Depeche Mode got a lot of unenthusiastic reviews, but is actually a very fine record...and Dave sounds better than ever...
All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2 has some really good tracks, though I still can't help feeling disappointed with it - something of an artistic retreat after their 1990s experimentation...
Renegades by RATM, also some terrific moments, but not as good as the stuff they wrote themselves...
Parachutes by Coldplay, overplayed on radio, but pretty good (if falling short of excellence)...
As for BDB, Radiohead, Nelly Furtado...liked most of the stuff I've heard from them, but haven't actually heard the whole albums yet. Must investigate. And the Best of Blur's good, if compilations count. Eagerly awaiting the next neworder record.
