BLENDER's best of 2004

BLENDER has put out there best of 2004 lists and they are...interesting. The album list starts out predictable with Kanye West at #1 followed by Franz Ferdinand and Loretta Lynn. Usher's album is at #4, though, and Ashlee Simpson made their top 50!!

I FInd a Top 100 Songs of 2004...

to be a bit much. While there naturally are more songs than albums, should be a top 50 (like the albums). Something like the Pazz-N-Jop Poll lists singles and albums past 1,000, but it's really just the top 50 or so that's most desirable.

Blender also has "Yeah!" as the No. 1 song of the year.

Well, get used to seeing "Yeah!" at the top of lists. I never really got into it, but not only was it the biggest song of 2004, but it was hailed critically. It will likely end up in the top 3 of 2004 here at AM, if not #1.

I was glad to see "White Houses" make the top 50, but BLENDER like Vanessa. I hope the song can make some other lists.

Meanwhile

This list and the UNCUT list begin the year-end lists for 2004. How can they come out before the year even ends? There are still new albums coming out, some by big-name artists.

Re: BLENDER's best of 2004

How do I get them to review my debut single, the Boogie Back Rap? It's funky hip hop with rap lyrics that actually teaches everyone how to skate backwards.
