On the morning of Dec. 30 I'm doing my 'Best Songs of 2004' on "It's Go Time!" which is my weekly radio show, 10-11 a.m. on CFUV 101.9 FM.

Tune in if you can.

In the meantime, I'd like to hear about your best songs from this year so I can compile a few radio shows in the coming weeks with some of your picks.

So have at it, best songs of 2004?

seems like a long time ago (last year even), but the rat by the walkmen IS the best song of the year.

After that it all comes down to personal opinion.

other highlights for me were

The arcade fire - rebellion (lies)
tv on the radio - ambulance
the beta band - liquid bird
muse - butterflies and hurricanes
ratatat - desert eagle
m83 - run into flowers
the black keys - stack shot billy
modest mouse - float on
K-OS - crabuckit
the secret machines - nowhere again
xiu xiu - clowne towne

... I guess this was only supposed to be the single best song of the year, whatever. (I'm gonna make a mix cd)

and oh ya ...and you will know us by the trail of dead - will you smile again (even though it's not due out till next year) - Sat, 18 Dec 2004 11:16am

Some great picks...

I'd post mine but then that would ruin the surprise of my radio show on Dec. 30. Tune in to "It's Go Time!" between 10-11 a.m. on Thurs. the 30th on 101.9 FM for my top 15 or so songs of the year.

Keep those song picks coming. I will be putting together some radio shows in coming weeks including some of your favorites (my show is mainly hard, fast, loud, so my choices will reflective of that).
