Jonny Arson · 01-01-2005 9:14pm

My top three:

3. Razorlight ''Up All Night'' - Absolute raaaawwwwwwks!

2. Franz Ferdinand ''Franz Ferdinand'' - Indie Disco Glory

1. The Libertines ''The Libertines'' - The greatest album to deploy the breakup of a band of all time. It is like a soap opera of music thanks to the deeply personal lyrics of Pete and Carl throwing insults at each other (Can't Stand Me Now) to friendship reconciliations (What Became of The Likely Lads) to Pete's personal problems (Last Post On The Bugle) and to relationship breakups (What Katie Did). No bad tune on it. A must by for any music fan. Tragically we know the end result and the boys from the good old ship of the Albion's voyage has run a ground but hope may carry the Albion upon to the shores to complete it's glorious destiny.

Im_No_Superman · 03-01-2005 1:28pm

1: Snowpatrol - Final Straw

2: The Frames - Burn The Maps

3: Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
