Obviously, The Musically Inclined is no major establishment on the receiving end of countless promotional cds, so it would be pretty difficult to compile a list of top albums of the year. So, the spin is "discoveries" meaning these songs weren't necessarily released this year but were discovered this year. Crafty, ain't it?
1. DRIVE AWAY BY MÊLÉE- TMI loves Mêlée and this song is a perfect example of their excellent lyrics and energetic musical stylings.
2. SECRET MEETING BY THE NATIONAL- Paste Magazine's pick for album of the year...told ya they were headed for big things.
3. FINE CHINA BY ANDY DAVIS- This Nashvile artist has got a terrific voice and this song is beautifully piano-driven.
4. TRANQUILIZE BY THE KILLERS- Points for being bizarre yet promising.
5. HEY THERE DELILAH BY PLAIN WHITE Ts- It's got to be the #1 anthem of lovers this year.
6. MASSIVE NIGHTS BY THE HOLD STEADY- More literate lyrics and straight up rock.
7. DETROIT WAVES BY MATT NATHANSON- It's just a great song to listen to/sing with/get stuck on.
8. DON'T LET GO BY PACHA MASSIVE- The very definition of the term "groove."
9. THE WAY I ARE BY TIMBALAND- Surprisingly addictive. Just add strobe light.
10. THE PRETENDER BY FOO FIGHTERS- The first FF song that I've actually liked. That's got to count for something.
