Best Rock Album - 2003?

[guntlove]

This is a CROWDED field... and with all love and respect to The Bully, there are a few glaring omissions, imho.

Of the options presented... its hard for me to decide between Fever to tell, Room on Fire, and Elephant. Hail to the thief was also a doozy.

But the Rapture record that year, Echos, was a fucking banger.... and House of jealous lovers is simply one of the best songs of that, or any other decade. Nuff said on that.

My Morning Jacket's album, It Still Moves, is fucking amazing... and any 2003 list is incomplete without it.

Also, Shutes Too Narrow, while not as spectacular as the first Shins record, was still a wingdinger.

gunt.

Wanted to include MMJ and the Shins, couldn't find room.

Not sure I've ever been blessed to listen to the Rapture.

I'll check them out.

They're not everyone's cup of tea, @dnc. They made that sort of electro-dance-punk stuff... it can be a bit screamy and severe for some folks, but I loved it for whatever reason. Anyhooo, these *poles are great.... good chit, amigo.

gunt.
