〈年終回顧系列一〉
首先看到的是時代雜誌、洛杉磯時報和SPIN的年度名單，今年幾乎全部全壘打上榜的是Outkast和The White Stripes的專輯，而值得注意的是，時代今年的評選目前在網路上只有一份名單，而專輯說明中也特別提出其中最佳的曲目；洛杉磯時報除了「Real big deals」專文介紹由Robert Hilburn選的十大外，今年還一口氣將18位音樂陪審團做了有系統的計分方式，依照每個評審從首輪最愛的作品給予最高分，然後依次遞減，加總統計出最佳十大；而SPIN我們僅從40強中列取十大，以下條列三個媒體的年度名單，就不多加說明。附上照片選擇的是The Raveonettes的沙龍照，音樂影帶The Great Love Sound可以在下列看到。
