By Madvillain (Abstract Hip Hop, Jazz Rap, Experimental Hip Hop)



2. Franz Ferdinand
By Franz Ferdinand (Indie Rock, Post-Punk Revival)



3. American Idiot

4. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

Nice list.
You seem to really like power metal, so I'll leave some mandatory pm albums from 2004.

Jag Panzer - Casting the Stones
Hibria - Defying the Rules
Manticora - 8 Deadly Sins
Persuader - Evolution Purgatory
Iron Savior - Battering Ram
Domine - Emperor of the Black Runes

Nice list, yah power metal is my favorite genera maybe next to Symphonic metal, I think I cloud have done a top 20 power metal albums of 2004 if I wanted, for me the 00's ware the golden age of Power metal.
