    Great album. Listened to it a lot in the cab of a John Deer tractor when I was working on an organic farm in Virginia. Those all day hay mowing/baling runs were boring ass days. Almost as fun as stacking cans for a living.
    FML

    Good album. Myxamatosis is one of my favorite songs, but there are better Radiohead albums. OK Computer and In Rainbows are better.

    This is true. Shows the greatness of Radiohead.

    I forgot that Death Cab For Cutie's Transatlanticism was this year. Still would take Muse.
    2005 will be a different story with Plans.

    It was on the original list of 15, I thought for sure starting out that it would make the cut.

    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.
