A
couple of months overdue, here at last is our 'much
anticipated' Top 20 albums list for 2004. We have a few more
things yet to say about last year's releases (I wish to point
out how absolutely fucking awful the second Icarus Line album
was, for example), but for now this should at least offer
some indication of how utterly confused our collective taste
is. Feel free, as always, to hurl bananas at us. Tom.
No.20 Scissor
Sisters - Scissor Sisters
Ever
the maverick iconoclasts, we kick off our best albums
of 2004 with Scissor Sisters’ debut, which
has done incredibly well in all of these end-of-year
list things, and which moreover everyone in the world
now owns a copy of, including Oliver Letwin and your
mum. Nevertheless, it’s worth reiterating what
a spiffing album this is, and how gratifying the
Scissor Sisters’ mainstream success has been.
Far from the one-hit wonder “Comfortably Numb” could
have turned out to be, virtually every song here
could make the Top Ten (which is presumably what
the record label are betting on in releasing every
track as a single). MB
