no no not at all.
some of those i just haven't bothered to listen to yet (broadcast & constantines most of all) others i just didn't dig that much after i listened to them a lot, and others I have never heard of period.
I am going to post my list in blocks of 25 starting tomorrow maybe.

Haha I had to do that in Big Cheese but because it's Big Cheese indie is highly frowned upon so I had to edit it somewhat.
1. AIDEN - Nightmare Anatomy (Victory)
2. JOHNNY PANIC - The Violent Dazzling (Concept)
3. FALL OUT BOY - From Under The Cork Tree (Mercury)
4. THE USED - In Love & Death (Maverick)
5. DRESDEN DOLLS - Dresden Dolls (Roadrunner)
6. BULLET UNION - Ruins Domino (Jealous)
7. THE GLITTERATI - The Glitterati (Atlantic)
8. TEST ICICLES - For Screening Purposes Only (Domino)
9. THEAUDITION 'Controversy Loves Company' (Victory)
10.MAXIMO PARK 'A Certain Trigger' (Warp)

I just put Big Cheese into google and it came up with: "The UK's premier punk, metal n'skate, harcore lifestyle magazine."
They need to add (plus Jen with a corset addiction, amazing hair and a hello kitty phone). Hardcore indeed.
I dont mind The Glitterati and Test Icicles off your list - I havent heard anything other than the singles by the rest. Are Maximo Park not particularly indie in the eyes of Big Cheesy people then? x

Yeah they are, everyone hates them put I pulled a "at least let me have Maximo at 10 if you won't let me have Patrick Wolf" style strop hahaha. It's quite funny when you go on the website at http://www.bigcheesemagazine.com then go to "about us", it's the staff profile page and I stick out like a sore thumb!

ah but the album art alone makes it worthy of a place :D
It's usually about half of the bands you mention. My musical knowledge has been in decline ever since I left uni :(

urmmm
more adventurous came out in like august 04!
and there is no way you can have axxess and ace... If you're gonna do that you might aswell put them all down because they are better than your life.

dear tom browne,

please dont pick faults with my list.

Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
Audio CD (January 31, 2005)
Number of Discs:1
Label: Brute/Beaute

axxess and ace is the only thing they've put out this year. you cant say it's not a good album!! the only cd of theirs that's better than this is the lioness and that was like five years ago so no chance.

I'm going to have to disagree with We Are Scientists. I mean, I love the first songs I heard i.e. Nobody Move, This Scene Is Dead, The Great Escape, but most of the album isn't nearly half as good as them. Eh, I don't know. I agree with the vast majority of the list though.

Hmm I dont know about them. Nobody who's commented on this entry realises that this isnt the final thing haha - there's too many to choose from.
I think the singles from With Love and Squalor alone are better than alot of whole albums this year.
Are you going to The Strokes? xx
