My ten favourite indie albums of 2004!

If you look at a list of all the great albums that came out in 2004 it’s absolutely stacked. Getting it down to 10 was tough! 2004 really was peak indie!

What do you think about my list? What did I miss? What’s your favourite album from that golden year? Can it really be 20 years ago? 😱

Regina’s song with the strokes is probably one of the most underrated songs of the era

I was thinking The Cribs debut album wouldn’t be on the top 10 because it’s really underrated, but I’m very surprised being top 1 and also very happy because is one of my favorite albums of all time.

The debut is definitely not their best, but man you just can not deny the Jarman brothers' charm on their debut.
