Hmmm, as i've said before 2004 was a great year for me discovering acts that i didn't just like, but loved which is why there are 6 debut albums on the list. I remember absolutely adoring Agnethas covers album and Deborahs broadway album and still play songs from them to this date. I thought the Killers were amazing and Somebody Told Me & All These Things I've Done were two of my top songs of the year. Scissor Sisters just seemed so crazy and in love with their music that it was contagious. Keane appealed to the piano player in me and William Young appealed to the gay in me ;) Your Game was my favourite song of 2004. But it was Maroon 5 that got me obsessed. I must have played that album a thousand times, the lyrics were so filthy and sensual in parts and Adam made a fine frontman. I really look forward to what a lot of these acts are doing next and hope to God they don't balls it up like Keane (I say this having only heard 2 songs from their sophomore set so i may change my mind!!)

Comments? (Coming soon - 2005!)
