No, not top two of the year. Top two bands that I don't understand why everybody drools over when they really sound very average to me.

Could it be we just have different tastes in music? :roll:

Just tell us who your top 2 are so far this year, so we can mock you too.

I bought this after reading a lot of praise here, but I just didn't like it that much. I'll have to revisit that album.

So far, Go-Betweens and Crooked Fingers for me, but I haven't been smacked upside the head by anything I've heard this year yet. Spoon and Andrew Bird are pretty close. Others like Low and The National I like a lot but not enough to trumpet them as being amazing or anything.
