Top Ten Time.

December 21, 2002 | 0 Comments

So 2002 is coming to a close and I figured it would be fun to go back and figure out what my favorite 10 albums that came out this year were. It was a tough task, but lots of fun. It’d be cool if all y’all posted your favs or made a comment on mine.

Anyway - here is what I came up with:

10. Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
9. Boxcar Racer - Boxcar Racer
8. Nappy Roots - Watermelon, Chicken and Grits
7. Foo Fighters- One By One
6. The White Stripes - Red Blood Cells
5. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
4. New Found Glory - Sticks and Stones
3. N.E.R.D. - In Search Of
2. Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
1. Mr. Lif - I Phantom

It’s strange becuase those don’t really represent what I listen to every day, so I decided to do a shuffle with iTunes and see what came up, I started out with 10 songs and ended up with 30. Here they are:

30. Long Beach Dub All-Stars - Sunny Hours (a good start…)
29. Gza - Did Ya Say That?

23. Ice Cube - You Can Do It (there we go)
22. Eve - Who’s That Girl (I’m dancin’ now y’all)
21. Massive Attack - Safe From Harm (Oh yeah - I was lookin’ back…)
