Day 974: Top 15 Albums of 2002


Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It in People (Indie Rock)


**********

Chris Isaak - Always Got Tonight (Rockabilly)

I’m totally a closet greaser and once upon a time wore my hair in a pompadour.  There are actually three and a half VERY different Rockabilly albums on my list for 2002!


**********

Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head (Alternative Rock)


**********

Counting Crows - Hard Candy (Alternative Rock)

You know?  I fell in love with Counting Crows when they first broke out in 1993… and I NEVER would have predicted their longevity. 


**********

Eminem - 8 Mile (Soundtrack - Rap)

Say what you want about Eminem… but he’s a talent.  I’m not a huge fan of his… more… shall we say, ‘violent’ themes, but his work on ‘8 Mile’ showed a lot of maturity. 


*********

Frou Frou – Details (Electronic)


**********

Hot Hot Heat - Make Up the Breakroom (Alternative Rock)


**********

Johnny Cash - America IV: The Man Comes Around (County/Rockabilly)


**********

JXL vs. Elvis - A Little Less Conversation (Electronic/Rockabilly)


**********

Moulin Rouge! (Soundtrack)


**********

Sum 41 - Does this look infected? (Post-Punk)


**********

The All-American Rejects - The All American Rejects (Pop Punk)


***********

The Reverend Horton Heat - Lucky 7 (Rockabilly Revival)

The Reverend puts on the BEST shows.  I’ve seen him three times live and each time is better than the last.


**********
                         
They Might Be Giants - No!  (Children’s)

Seriously, life isn’t just good, but GREAT when one of your favorite bands puts out a children’s album that you can share with your kids!  God bless They Might Be Giants!  BTW: on the video, just after the guys announce the name of their next song you can hear a bunch of kids cheer and distinctly hear on kid say, “I know this one!”  Awesome!

Uncle Kracker - No Strangers to Shame (Rap Rock)
