I randomly had this idea this morning, so I thought, 'Hey, why not?' So here's the dizzle. I'm putting up a whack-load of different categories, kind of like an awards show, and I need you guys to PM me or post your thoughts on which song/artist/band/album is the best or worst [insert category here] of 2004. After say, two weeks or so of voting, I'll take the top three suggestions, and you can vote for the best and worst. Sound good? Alright, here they are. Categories may be subject to change, and just copy and paste the code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHASE ONE VOTING IS OVER Here are the nominees for the Best and Worst of 2004!

Here they are! Best Mash-Up: This one was rather easy, and in fact, I removed the category before getting the final votes. Linkin Park and Jay-Z's Collision Course album stole this award thanks to your lack of imagination and knowledge of mash-up albums! Go you! Worst Screamo Album: My Chemical Romance is probably screaming Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge against the person who voted for them. I suggest you run. Worst Instrumental Album: Has anyone even heard of this album? In any case, the Sensation White 2004 album snagged this award with only one vote. Worst Mash-Up Album: Wow. Just. Wow. You guys had an equal lack of imagination for this one, too, 'cause it looks like Linkin Park and Jay-Z's Collision Course stole this one, too. With that said.. PHASE TWO VOTING BEGINS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think that covers it. Just a few notes though before you start plugging your opinions. The Hybrid Category: This was made for artists who have successfully taken two or more genres and blended them into musical bliss. The Instrumental Category: This is, well, for instrumental albums, but is also open to genres like techno, trance, etc. The Single of the Year Category: I am not limiting this category to singles from albums released in '04. If a song from an album in 2003 was released as a single this year (Breaking the Habit, for example), then it's fair game. The Breakthrough Artist Category: Yeah, I can see this category being mixed up with Best New Artist, but for this poll, let's make it for that band/artist who has had the most success this year. Most Controversial Category: Casey brought this up, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to mention what's up with the artists.
Best New Artist: Breaking Benjamin Rerelease: Nirvana - "With the Lights Out" Hip-Hop/Rap Album: Snoop Dogg - "Rhythm & Ganksta" R&B Album: Alicia Keys - "Diary of Alicia Keys" Pop Album: ...Something by Britney Spears...

Breakthrough Artist: Slipknot/Green Day Most Annoying Song That You Wish You Could Cut Up Into Little Peices: Lil' Jon - "Get Low" Most Contraversial Artist: Eminem ------- All done. Sorry, but I didn't understand some of the genres, and I just couldn't think of ones for others. As far as the Worst category, I wouldn't know, since I aim not to buy bad albums.
Best New Artist: Breaking Benjamin Rerelease: Hip-Hop/Rap Album: Collision Course R&B Album Pop Album: Emo Album: The Used - In Love & Death Screamo Album: Gothic Rock Album: Indie Album: Punk Rock Album: Sum 41 - Chuck / Green Day - American Idiot Hard Rock Album: Chevelle - This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) Instrumental Album: Apocalytpica - Apocalyptica Metal Album: Megadeth - The System has Failed Acoustic Album: Hybrid Album: Mash-Up Album: Collision Course Album of the Year: Chevelle - This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) Single of the Year: Chevelle - Vitamin R (Leading Us Along) Worst New Artist: Lindsay Lohan Rerelease: Hip-Hop/Rap Album: Nelly - Suit / Sweat R&B Album Pop Album: Emo Album: Screamo Album: Gothic Rock Album: Indie Album: Punk Rock Album: Simple Plan - Still Not Getting Any Hard Rock Album: Evanescence - Anywhere But Home Instrumental Album: Metal Album: Acoustic Album: Hybrid Album: Mash-Up Album: Collision Course Album of the Year: Nelly - Suit / Sweat Single of the Year: Hilary / Haylie Duff - Lips are sealed Misc.
