Best Albums of 2002?

knobbles

So what 2002 albums do you want to speak volumes about?
A great year for albums. Here's my essential music:

#1 COLDPLAY
....wasn't mad about the last album nor the first single but bloody nuts about the EVERYTHING else on this.
The best album i've heard this decade.

BRMC
..... class, again nothing to skip

VINES
..... not rated by everyone and i thought my appetite
for that raw rock was behind me but all the songs have the
most simple guitar and perfect melodies. There's a cobain/lennon thing in there

GEMMA HAYES
..... could have been even stronger but
left out some great EP tunes which only leaves it very strong!

DOVES
..... my champs of 2000, and this is a match

TRAIL OF DEAD
...... beautiful noise, an album full of cracking tunes that probably deserves more recommendation than the
rest cause i think most of you missed it. don't, it's a classic

SIGUR ROS
..... it'll never match their live experience but it's
the closest i'll get to soundtrack for heaven

Mundy
Death In Vegas(best intro)
Fischerspooner
Foo Fighters
Damien Rice
Low(check out track2 canada),

4-SIGUR ROS

5- DAMIEN RICE - O

Cherry

Mmm.. I've heard conflicting reports about this being released last year / this year or whether it's even regarded as an album but..

Turin Brakes -- The Optimist

Achille

Turin Brakes was obviously an album, since the full title is "the Optomist Lp" Unfortunately, it was 2001.


anyway, an unbelieveable amount of good albums this year.

Irish...
Damien rice
Mundy
Gemma Hayes
Redneck Manifesto
The Jimmy Cake

crazy foreigners...

Cherry

Ahh crap. Ok then..

Foo Fighters -- One By One. 'Cause I've an obsession going on with Dave Grohl. Mhmm..

Oasis? Argh argh argh..

johnnynolegs

Pearl Jam - Riot Act.

Head and shoulders above many great albums...Foos, QOTSA, Sparta, Trail Of Dead.

my beautiful ( if i do say so myself-which i do) list is as follows

*the frames-breadcrumb trail- it's live, it's brilliant, & i'v listened to it 14million times & i'm still not sick of it
*damien rice-o- it's so so pretty ( i'm too tired to come up with better words, and anyway, it is!!), 1 flaw, no 'the professor'... sniff...
*nirvana-nirvana- u know u hav all the songs except 1 on some cd lying somewhere in your bedroom, but u'v gopt2get it anyway....
*phantom volume 1!!- woo!!!!

I'v not had that much moneys with which to purchase music this past while..... so this is basically every album i'v bought in the last year.... sad, really.....

about sigur ros, could someone enlighten me as to some of his/her/their songs/lyrics, because iv never heard him/her/them, and people keep giving out, and from the sounds of it they're/he's/she's quite the magickal musician/s so inform me!!!!!!

thanks darlings...

there should be more, but i can't think of any. can anyone suggest a good reason for dividing irish releases and foreign releases? it seems a little pointless.

same happened me in hmv, listened to first 2 minutes of album
and had to buy it.

a fine combination of sweet pianos, strings arrangements and of course clanging guitars. Their last album Madonna had a few
great tracks("mistakes & regrets" rocks!) but isn't as good overall as this one.
