In a year filled with topsy turvy ups and downs in this crazy, mixed-up world of ours, I liked some albums. Here they are, in no particular order (by which I mean strictly regimented from 1 to 10). Feel free to click on the fancy-dancy hyperlinks to read my high-falootin' thoughts on my choices. You'll notice that Kansas' Point Of Know Return album does not appear on this list. It finished a close 11th, even though it was released in 1977.
1. Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
2. Ed Harcourt - From Every Sphere
3. Randy Newman – The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1
4. Radiohead – Hail To The Thief
5. Matthew Shipp - Equlilibrium
6. The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
8. Andrew Bird - Weather Systems
