I defined singles as tracks that were released to radio and MTV outlets, not just any songs. As for my albums of the year for 2002, I haven't heard all of nor bought Venetian Snares' Higgins album, and his Winter In The Belly Of A Snake has been backordered for weeks now. So they may be worthy of the list, I don't know. A lot of other good stuff came out this year like Múm, Req, and Astrobotnia, but I bought so many albums that they didn't make it to the last 20. The N*E*R*D album was technically released in 2002 but they had it on their web site for all of 2001, so... |

curious what you base this on. best production, diversity in sound, overall appeal, undergroundness just curious, it's funny to see Eminem and Squarepusher on the same list :) |

Interesting year wasnt it chaps? |

i base it on everything, so it's just overall how much i like it.. a lot of great stuff didn't make it to the top 20, not cos it's inferior but cos i don't feel as compelled to listen to it as much (or for the most serious artists i don't think their album was as up to par as the other "artistic statements" on the list) anyway, it's all subjective, i just made a topic out of it cos a few people asked me specifically for my picks and i told them to wait |

hey, at least your honest about the subjective nature of your list, and that you consider music that spans a large selection of genres. |

ive been interested in cinematic orchastra since i read the review in grooves, i am still not sure what kind of music it is, what would you define it as tits? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahah i had a good laugh at titsworth's singles list. although i gotta give you credit for the 'nas' track, do like that one. what about... Ambulance 7" on Planet mu ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't heard it, who did ambulance? anyway, pretty paltry list of singles i know, but it wasn't exactly a great year for mainstream music. i didn't care much for the stuff you brits listened to this year either (as defined by the NME, the bastion of british culture - OBVIOUSLY! ;). machine: it's hard to define it cos it does sound like a jazz band from the past, yet it's mostly one guy and the production techniques and equipment are of today. it's a nice contrast. i'd definitely put this album in more of a jazz category than anything electronic. have you heard any of it yet? every track is great, but my favorites are probably "every day" and "all things to all men." |

yeah..those were the ones i was doubtful about.. the silver mt zion i listed actually came out in 2000.. so i was way off on that one.. it doesnt help that they dont have the copyright date in the liner notes |

2002 was not my cup of tea... I saw just a few albums I loved on the list. Then when I looked at your 2001 list... all kinds of great shit. Excluding Gorillaz, of course. :-) |

I think 2002 music was big-time suckage |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
good list, there is some stuff I haven't heard on there and will now have to check out I would include Weezer - Maladroit and Foo Fighters - One by One (just got this one, it's awesome) |
||||||||

|

its truth that 2001 was better than 2002... but 2001 will be remembered as a great year, one of the bests |
