2002 was a good year. So many great albums. Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot barely beat out the competition, but I'd like to bring attention to some really amazing albums that almost edged it out:
The Second Stage Turbine Blade -- Coheed and Cambria
Didn't It Rain? -- Songs: Ohia
In Search Of... -- N.E.R.D.
Blazing Arrow -- Blackalicious
The Big Come Up -- The Black Keys
Box Car Racer -- Box Car Racer
The Eminem Show -- Eminem
Heathen -- David Bowie
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots -- The Flaming Lips
The Rising -- Bruce Springsteen
Lifted -- Bright Eyes
Wiretap Scars -- Sparta
Turn On the Bright Lights -- Interpol
Lord Willin' -- Clipse
One Beat -- Sleater-Kinney
Sea Change -- Beck
The Lost Tapes -- Nas
You Forgot It In People -- Broken Social Scene
Phrenology -- the Roots
Quality -- Talib Kweli
Yeah, making a decision here made my head hurt, so I'm not gonna write anything about Wilco's amazing Yanee Hotel Foxtrot -- just know that it's really, really amazing, and I like it slightly better than some of those albums up there. Crazy.
Key Tracks: "Jesus, Etc.", "Ashes of American Flag", "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart", "Pot Kettle Black"
Next Week: 2003
Hint: untitled.
