| 2002 was all about DC Sessions free concert series in Washington DC where I got to see Splender, Lloyd Dobler Effect, and Maroon 5 for the first time. Atmosphere at The Black Cat for my birthday with friends from college was fun. Mighty Mighty Boss Tones at the 9:30 Club was legendary too. |

| 2002 TOP 10 ALBUMS |
| |
| |
 | Scott and Brian's first album together. One of the best rock albums ever! Not a bad song anywhere. Amazing.
|
|
| |
 | So lucky to have seen The Music live. What an amazing band they were! Too High might be my favorite track on their debut.
|
|
| |
 | Probably a pretty good time for Bjork to release a Greatest Hits album. Her follow ups haven't been as good unfortunately.
|
|
| |
 | I've listened to this album so much. It's that amazing!!
|
|
| |
 | I really wish Jack would tour North America some day so I could see him. He's awesome and this is a really great album. I first heard Snowflakes, The Cure remix, on late night radio in my car once, and loved it! The rest was history.
|
|
| |
 | Extreme Ways and We Are All Made Of Stars are my favorites on this album. Moby is great!
|
|
| |
 | Saves The Day and Vampires are my favorites on this album. Always a fan of Slug and Atmosphere.
|
|
| |
 | Always a huge fan of Laura and Kemopetrol. Makes me want to visit Finland!
|
|
| |
 | I first saw Adam and Maroon 5 at a free show in the middle of DC around this time and checked out the album before She Will Be Loved got huge. Will always be a great album. Too bad the others that followed weren't as great.
|
|
| |
 | The best album by Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds To Mars. Every song is amazing.
|
|
| |
| 2002 HONORABLE MENTIONS |
| |
| |
 | Much respect to DJ Shadow for always keeping things interesting but this album fell a bit short. Six Days is a great track, though!
|
|
| |
 | Dope Nose and Keep Fishin are my favorites on this album.
|
|
| |
 | Friends and family, what more could anyone want?
|
|
| |
 | Headstrong was everywhere in 2002.
|
|
| |
 | Travis Barker's other band. Diamond And Guns was really popular upon its release.
|
|
| |
 | Saw them on tour with Breaking Benjamin once around this time and thought they were a little too much like Nickelback, but liked them enough to pick up this album and the ones after this too. Not bad!
|
|
| |
 | I first heard of The Streets in a Tower Records store in DC and really liked them so I picked it up then and there. Bought every album since. The first is the best, but they've come out with some good contenders after too. Cool that Mike Skinner is friends with Rob Harvey of The Music. Has It Come To This and Let's Push Things Forward are my favorites.
|
|
| |
 | I'm just Happier This Way listening to Splender, all these years later. Then and now. But, Anyway…
|
|
| |
 | A rather fun trio of hip hop party ladies. Nothing wrong with that!
|
|
| |
 | I could have seen them once but decided not to. A straight-up rock album is always a good thing though.
|
|
| |
 | Do You Call My Name, Rectifier, Fallen Rock Zone are all great songs but my favorite is Walking And Thinking. That song always gets me.
|
|
| |
 | The supergroup of Rage Against The Machine and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell. It ended up being just OK in my opinion, but better than anything else they did as a follow-up.
|
|
| |
 | I'm a huge fan of this album and the song Days Go By (and its video) is great too. I also like the Pink Floyd cuts thrown in there too.
|
|
| |
 | Upon its release, the song By The Way sounded like more than one song in a bunch of different parts, but still came together as one.
|
|
| |
 | Lounge music at its finest. Let's Do It Together!
|
|
| |
 | Let Go is such a great song.
