you make sense, and appear well-reasoned and perhaps even correct.
HOWEVER:
i present to you this evidence.

here then, are some inclusions on this list:

coldplay
jack johnson
royksopp
chemical brothers at number 12
the killers
goldfrapp
the doves.

the persecu-- ahem, prosecution rests.

Ah, come on, the Goldfrapp album is pretty decent. Mind you, I'm not sure when you'd actually listen to it. It's designed as seduction music, I think, but I doubt whether any actual women would be seduced by it. I guess if a woman wanted to seduce a man, she could put that album on and then it would work pretty well.

My number 2 and number 4 choices were at number 1 and number 3. I struck out on everything else.

I usually like looking at these lists because it gives me a chance to check out a lot of good things that I may missed in the past year. But this year, the list doesn't exicte me as much. Personal preferences, I suppose.

coldplay - yup, pretty average album

jack johnson - fucking great album

royksopp - good, not great, but worthy of inclusion in a top 50

the killers - another fantastic album albeit released in 2004

goldfrapp - excellent album and probably the one madonna wanted to make

the doves - another great album, not in my top 10 for the year but only because there were so many great albums this year

so, what exactly was your evidence..?

the killers - [s]another fantastic album albeit released in 2004[/s] intensely annoying

goldfrapp - excellent album and probably the one madonna wanted to make, on second thought maybe not, because madonna wanted price to make a shamelessly full on disco album, and goldfrapp had a different idea. an idea... that was ultimately as tepid and spotty as the meadonna album.

the doves - [s]another great album, not in my top 10 for the year but only because there were so many great albums this year[/s] yawn-a-thon.

my evidence is that you need an editor
