20. Jamie T – Kings & Queens (2009)
Eine kleine Neuentdeckung für mich und je häufiger ich die Platte höre, desto mehr „Künstler“ scheinen sich darauf zu vereinen, doch es ist wohl der Stil der Platte. Hört sich der eine Track nach Arctic Monkeys an, so beginnt der nächste mit einem Einspieler vom Chanson und auf einmal klingt derselbe Track nach The Doors. Ein Xylophon klingt auch super in Verbindung mit rockigen Gitarren und dazu Mike Skinner-ähnlicher Sprechgesang, der ab du zu in klaren Gesang mündet. Absolut hörenswert.

19. Tender Forever – Wider (2007)
Vielleicht am ehesten zu vergleichen mit Imogen Heap, aber um Breiten einfacher. Die größte Ähnlichkeit ist der Pop in seiner reinsten Form. Bei solchen Platten fällt mir immer auf, wie sehr ich Pop mag und ich schäme mich nicht, es so zu sagen.

18. The Weepies – Say I Am You (2006)
Schon die Bandgeschichte ist so zuckersüß, dass man Karies bekommt und die Musik steht dem in Nichts nach. Oft verwendet als Soundtrack in Scrubs und ähnlichen Serien. Zum Träumen schön und für fast jede Lebenslage geeignet.

17. Friska Viljor – Tour de Hearts (2008)
Diese Platte der Schweden sollte man auch besitzen. Gut zum Tanzen, Saufgelage abhalten allein oder mit Freunden! Auf dem zweiten Album sind meiner Meinung nach mehr Kracher zu finden UND mein absolutes Lieblingslied!

16. Wir sind Helden – Von Hier An Blind (2005)
Ein Feuerwerk an Wortspielen. Keiner kann so gut mit der Sprache umgehen, wie die Frontfrau der Helden und das auch noch auf Deutsch! Großartig!

15. La Vela Puerca – A Contraluz (2005)
Dieses Album muss man besitzen, weil kaum ein anderes so viel gute Laune beschert und einfach nur Spaß macht! Sin Palabras ist man dann nach dem Tanzen, weil man nichts mehr sagen kann und in jedem Fall ist es Llenos de magia.

14. The Mars Volta – De-Loused in the Comatorium (2003)
Wildes Gitarrengefrickel, zauberhafte Stimme! Mars Volta sind der Salvador Dalí der Musikwelt. Dieses Album macht das Rennen, weil es den Track, mit dem Mars Volta mich rumgekriegt haben, enthält.

13. Peter Fox – Stadtaffe (2008)
So wie man heutzutage von den Top-Alben der 80er spricht, wird man in 30 Jahren von den Top-Alben unserer Zeit sprechen und dann wird dieser Name nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Es ist ja auch an Genialität kaum zu toppen Dancehall mit symphonielastigen Streichern zu kreuzen. Vorher noch nie da gewesen. Einmal was riskiert und sofort gewonnen. Eine Perle der Musikgeschichte möchte ich behaupten.

12. Opeth – Damnation (2003)
Den reinsten Metal werde ich wohl nie für mich entdecken. Aber dieses „Masterpiece“ von Åkerfeldt findet so häufig Anwendung in meinem CD-Player, sodass sie in diesem Ranking nicht fehlen darf.

11. Incubus – The Morning View (2001)
Nach Nirvana, die irgendwie ständig vertreten waren, wann immer ich Musik hörte, zwischen Backstreet Boys und Whitney Houston, war es diese Platte, die mich endgültig zu Bands gitarrenlastiger Musik führte.

10. destophobia – ex sententia - a journey through thorough thoughts (2006)
Vielleicht weil man sich mit den Inhalten der Texte dieser Platte gut identifizieren kann, fühlt man sich ihr näher. Orientierungslosigkeit nach dem Schulabschluss, Zukunftszweifel, Umbrüche im Freundeskreis und wo ist dieser Gott, wenn man ihn braucht? Es ist ja auch nicht so, als wären die vier Destophobisten die Pioniere beim Aufgreifen dieser Themen. Umso beachtlicher, dass die musikalische Umsetzung einen unvergleichbar hohen Wiedererkennungswert hat. Ganz zu schweigen von der Kreativität, die die Jungs bei Live-Auftritten an den Tag legen.

9. Clueso – Gute Musik (2004)
Ein Album, das einen dazu anhält auch mal das zu tun, was man will und nicht das was man muss. Die Samples, die die Texte untermauern laden zum chillen ein.

8. Cotisuelto Smrz – Inside Out Part II: Inside (2004)
Eine Platte, die es wie kaum eine andere geschafft hat, mich in ihren Bann zu ziehen. Dieser junge Mann hat meiner Meinung nach alle Mal das Potential sich in die Reihe der großen Singer – Songwriter einzugliedern. Hier wird Musik nicht nur gemacht, sondern auch gelebt.

7. Coldplay – Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (2008)
Britpop in seiner reinsten Form. Eine Platte, die dazu einlädt, das Leben zu feiern. Und ich lade dazu ein diese Band zu feiern.

6. Damien Rice – O (2003)
Wenn es einzelne Tracks eines Albums immer wieder schaffen einem einen Schauer über den Rücken laufen zu lassen und dabei die einzelnen Tracks auch noch ein Ganzes ergeben, dann muss es sich schon um einen unvergleichlich guten Geniestreich handeln.

5. dredg – Catch Without Arms (2005)
Lange Zeit war der Vorgänger El Cielo mein Favorit, welches viel experimenteller ist. Doch nach dem ersten Konzert hatten die Tracks dieses Albums einen größeren Eindruck hinterlassen und somit macht die Popkomponente in Fusion mit dem Experimentellen das Rennen.

4. Kettcar – Von Spatzen und Tauben, Dächern und Händen (2005)
Gymnasiumlyrik oder Pseudo hin und her – es scheint wohl schwieriger zu sein Gedankengut in gute deutsche Liedtexte zu verpacken, aber dieser Band gelingt es ohne weiteres ohne in eine der oben genannten Kategorien gesteckt zu werden. 10 gelungene Songs, von denen jeder einen Film vor dem imaginären Auge ablaufen lässt.

3. Imogen Heap – Speak for Yourself(2005)
Die menschlichen Ohren mögen nun mal eingängige Melodien bzw. Harmonien – und meine ganz besonders und ziemlich oft. Und weil diese Lady es schafft einen nicht nur einmal, sondern immer wieder aufs Neue zu faszinieren und das mit dem reinsten Pop (!), verdient sie für ihr Schaffen diesen hohen Platz.

2. John Frusciante – The Will to Death (2004)
Singer – Songwriter sind wohl die andere Schwäche, die ich neben Pop habe. Und obwohl dieses Album das einzige ist, das ich intensiv angehört habe (weil ich mich einfach noch nicht solange mit seinem Schaffen beschäftige), so gilt er für mich doch als König des Singer – Songwritings. Die Songs „The Mirror“ und der Titeltrack des Albums machen deutlich, warum das so ist.

1. Sigur Rós – () (2002)
Traumhaft schöne Musik aus Island. Und obwohl dieses Album einem Konzept zugrunde liegt, ist es mein absoluter Favorit, sowohl der Isländer als auch der Dekade. Dieses Album zeigt auf, was Sigur Rós tatsächlich zu Sigur Rós macht – keine andere Band schafft es so gut und so vielfältig verschiedenste Stimmungen in Melodien abzubilden! Anspieltipp ist hier der letzte Track der Platte: bisher konnte kein anderer Track dieses Meisterwerk der Fusion zwischen Emotionen und musikalischer Umsetzung übertreffen!

I'm bored, and this list should get an update.

The Maccabees
Colour It In

blink-182
It was 5th grade, and I can't remember where we were, but I remember being in the car with my cousin who is two years older than me.
