i always have a problem with these big 'name your favorite albums of the year' lists, because i end up discovering albums long after they've come out.

i'm assuming other people have this same problem, so let's list 'em!

so, my favorite albums i discovered this year (that didn't come out this year), in no particular order:

bear claw - find the sun (2004)
q and no u - no kill no beep beep (2000)
karate - pockets (2004)
karate - the bed is in the ocean (1998)
kraftwerk - radio-activity (1975)
deltron 3030 (2000)
drive like jehu - drive like jehu (1991)
yellow magic orchestra - solid state survivor (1979)



hopefully i didn't forget anything, but if i did, i'm sure i'll add it later.

my road map from here does involve The Byrds, CSNY and Buffalo Springfield as well as some of C, S, and Y's other stuff. Unfortunately, that's a hefty branch on a tree filled with even heavier branches.
