50

Considering it's December and all, I guess it's the time where loads of productions are making lists of the top albums and songs of the year. Well, here's my go at the albums (songs to come later.) I'm guessing no other albums of great significance are going to be released from this week so this is my final list! Let's face it, if I had looked at this list last year, I would have been very surprised that some alright bands have bought out fantastic albums, such as Kings Of Leon and The Streets. It's such a shame that the album I was most looking forward to is in the mid-20's, and was altogether disappointing. The Futureheads came back from a poor second album, and Get Cape is still brilliant. And hey, even a comedy album made it in there! But it was so very close between the top 2 in the end.

"some alright bands have bought out fantastic albums" - take it back, the other Kings of Leon albums are amazing too. I just don't understand why you don't like them - if the rumours come true and they're at the festival I might drag you to the front so you can "witness the fitness", as it were. I'm guessing the album you were disappointed with is Sigur Ros? I'm reading your other list now, prepare yourself for another pointless comment. xx
