BEST AND WORST OF 2004**
Top 5 Albums of 2004:
05) The killers - Hot Fuss
04) garden state soundtrack
03) something corporate - north
02) I can make a mess like nobody's business
01) Midtown - forget what you know
Yeah, midtown was crazy this year. Plus meeting gabe and talking to him was awesome and he's so humble. I don't understand why they aren't bigger than they are. ICMAMLNB....amazing. SoCo...i dunno what i'd do w/o it. Andrew is probably the best lyricist ever. the garden state soundtrack, although it has many artists, counts as one of the best because it was the perfect mood setter for every scene and just really captured that movie and his character and all. plus it's just some really great songs, even if u don't like the movie, you probably have to like this CD. The killers, i must lie, i don't have this CD...yet. But they are more than just a one hit wonder band thats for sure. Actually #5 is a tie w/ TBS....i tried and tried not to fall into the TBS scene but i dunno that cd is way too darn catchy to ignore. :(
** The Worst 5 Albums of 2004: **
05) New Found Glory - Catalyst
04) Willaim Hung - inspiration or something
03) Good Charlotte – The Chronicles of Life and Death
02) ashley simpson - autobiography
01) Lindsay Lohan - speak
NFG was really disappointing. I thought it was gonna be great despite the nasaly vocals of "all downhill..." but unfortuanely it didn't do anything for me. they really did go all downhill :( haha pun. ok william hung was funny for like a month...then he came out w/ the cd...and although some of it was funny it was the worst publicity stunt ever. G/C. I just feel bad for these guys.
Ashley. True i probably know all the words to her songs but they are the worst songs i think i've ever heard. You make me wanna lala????? And linday...plz don't speak...and stop ur whining about the rumors about ur boobs. britney did and look at her. so shut up and enjoy ur las vegas wedding.

Biggest Sellouts: **
01) Good Charlotte??? they're on Bop magazine. come on.
** Most Overrated: **
03) Switchfoot
02) T moblie side kick
01) Coheed and Cambria
switchfoot is not good live. the side kick is huge (sorry alyssa haha...i still love you tho) and coheed....with the exception of two songs...nothing else good. and ppl need a better reason than "they're nothing like i've ever heard" as to why they like them.
** Best (Catchiest Song) Single: **
03) beating hearts baby - head automatica
02) houston calls - exit emergency
01) hello goodbye - call n return
You can't not dance to these songs
** Worst Single: **
03) eminem - mosh
02) new found glory - it's all downhill from here
01) Good Charlotte – I Just Wanna Live
what is mosh trying to prove, really? NFG is trying to make my ears bleed, and G/C needs to stop trying to please their 14 year old fans
** Best Songs of 2004:**
05) I can make a mess like nobody's business - so i finally decided to give myself a reason
04) Socratic - funeral masses for william jennings
03) Killers - mr. brightside

05) Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
04) Lemony Snicket's A series of Unfortuanate Events
03) Dodgeball
02) Napoleon Dynamite
01) Garden State
unfortunate events was clever. white castle, dodgeball, and ESPECIALLY napoleon were all hilarious. Garden State was thoughtful and really well made for an amateur like zach braff. Hopefully he can keep it up tho.
** Worst Movies of 2004 (that I saw): **
04) Anchorman
03) Big Fish
02) The Princess Diaries 2
01) Mean Girls
Ok anchorman wasn't that bad...but if u took out all the cameo's, it woulda sucked. Big Fish...if i saw it again i might like it, but i wasn't a fan the first time. PD2...ok ur thinking...did u THINK it was gonna be good? and i did have some high hopes, cuz the first one, although a a kid movie, was still entertaining...but the sequel sucked more than ever. No good looking guys to oogle. And i had to listen to Raven sing....and her ugly best friend didn't hep either. MEAN GIRLS i don't care what you say about how funny tina fey is. I like her. But this movie was dumb. Kids getting hit by a bus every two seconds was dumb....and i don't need to see why i hate girls in a movie. thanks.
