Quite simply one of the coolest and most delicious pop albums for at least a decade. Four albums in Morcheeba have reached a definite career high. |
2. Coldplay: A Rush Of Blood To The Head
 |
No matter how
hard they try, all the copyists fade when the true masters of melancholic rock music open
their soundscapes to the world. I thought I'd lost interest in the genre. I was wrong. More info |
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers: By The
Way
 |
Like Morcheeba, here's a band who've made their best album ever. It took RHCP a long time to realise that it's okay to make a whole album with the great tunes they've always had a couple of on their previous albums. |
4. Gabin: Gabin
 |
French artist Gabin delivers a unique and quite brilliant mix of lounge, chillout, pop and jazz. This is an album that will fit many occasions, from cocktail parties to late night relaxation. |
5. The Goo Goo Dolls: Gutterflower
 |
This album just overflows with melodic guitar anthems and is a clear proof that there is hope yet for music balancing between alternative rock and traditional American mainstream rock. |
6. Kent: Vapen & Ammunition
 |
Yet another Swedish album high on the album list. This is just an incredibly well-produced and melodically great-sounding rock album from Scandinavia's finest. |
7. Del Amitri: Can You Do Me Good?
 |
Del
Amitri no longer sell which can turn out to be a problem for them. Musically, they are as
strong as ever with an album that really reveals itself after a few spins. About Del Amitri |
8. Saint Etienne:
Finisterre
 |
Saint Etienne are back at what they do best: clever dance pop with an impeccable talent for songs that last and last. |
9. Sheryl Crow: C'mon C'mon
 |
On her fourth
album, Crow is sounding very light with a clear focus on a more accessible production.
There may be less edge than earlier but her songwriting is still top notch. About Sheryl Crow |
10. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: BRMC
 |
Noisy and
dirty rock from San Francisco. The brilliant thing here is that it's all done with
superior melodies to control the many layers of sound.

Eminem: Eminem Show
Bryan Ferry: Frantic
David Gray: A New Day At Midnight
