Spotlight: 2004

The Athens Olympics.  Dubya defeats Kerry.  The Darkness rocks the world with “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.”  That pretty much sums up the year, right?  I’m sure a few more important things happened, like Grammys being awarded to personal favorites Norah Jones and Ray Charles (Record of the Year – “Here We Go Again”), John Mayer (Song – “Daughters”), Maroon 5 (Best New Artist), and Los Lonely Boys (Best Pop Performance – “Heaven”).  My top songs for the year also included some teen pop gems from Jesse McCartney and LMNT,  Cities’ 97 staples Gavin DeGraw, Five for Fighting, and Keri Noble, and a great tribute to the late Senator Wellstone from Mason Jennings.  Check out my Best of 2004 List and let me know what you think.

Norah Jones – Sunrise

Guster – Careful
