* Ben Lee - Awake is the new sleep
* Ben Folds - Songs for silverman
* Trail Of Dead - Worlds apart
* Beezewax - Who to salute (this might have made it to my top 10, but since it's my brother's
band I can't really be very objective about it and I chose to not include it. but it's solid!)

It's been a good year with lots of great shows and records, and I've got a feeling that
next year will be great as well.

01. Beezewax - Who To salute (album)
Great pop album, with a more experimental approach than they've had before. And with good results.
02. Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to paralyze (album)
Not as good as "Songs for the deaf", but a pretty good rock record nonetheless. A worthy sequel.
03. The Posies - Every Kind Of Light (album)
Cool album, although some songs are a litte weak.
04. Coheed And Cambria - Welcome Home (song)
Heavy, raw and big! Great rock song!
05. Trail Of Dead - Worlds Apart (album)
In my opinion one of the best rock bands today. Although a bit too long, it has a great deal of cathcy rock songs. The good songs far outweigh the not so good ones.
06. Hellacopters - Rock'n'roll is dead (album)
Catchy poppy rock from sweden. cool sound.
07. El Caco - The search (album)
Cool heavy rock from norway. One of the best Norwegian rock records of the year.
08. YMCK - Family Music (album)
Nice jazzy nintendo pop
09. J-Kwon - Tipsy (song)
Cathcy hip-hop
10. Kanye West - Gold Digger (song)
Good beats, with a good production
