Wederom geen al te best jaar. Moeilijk om de nummer één te kiezen. Marbles heeft vele fantastische momenten, maar - zoals Casartelli ook al schreef - toch ook een relatief zwakke tweede schijf. K.A. is dan wel weer over de gehele linie sterk, dus die moest het dan maar worden.

19. Indukti - S.U.S.A.R.
20. John Frusciante - The Will to Death

De gedoodverfde nummer 1 had ik net op 20. Maar Arcade Fires betere werk moet nog komen. Morrissey heeft mijn lijst niet gehaald - in een minder jaar was dat wellicht anders geweest.

Na een paar teleurstellende prestaties had ik Morrissey ditmaal maar op nummer 8 voorspeld, wat dus toch wel rijkelijk laag was. Nummers 2 en 1 wel correct, maar daar onderscheid je je dan ook niet meer echt mee. Keane (7) en Wilco (9) had ik ten onrechte in de voorspelling opgenomen.

't Was wel weer een wat sterker jaar dus, waar ik nog een hoop 3½*-platen buiten de top-20 heb moeten laten. Welke top-20? Nou, deze natuurlijk:

01 [5] Marillion - Marbles
02 [----] Paatos - Kallocain
03 [----] Proto~Kaw - Before Became After

15 [----] Fates Warning - FWX
16 [----] Matthew Parmenter - Astray
17 [----] Guapo - Five Suns
18 [----] R.E.M. - Around the Sun

Blonde Redhead over het rode hoofd gezien

Ai, die valt er nu net buiten

Een weekend zonder zaaf is een weekend niet geleefd
Eigenlijk net een schoonmoeder

Wen er maar aan

scherp

De briljante debuutplaten van Keane en The Killers worden toch een tikkeltje ondergewaardeerd. Had die eenvoudig de top zien halen.
