We decided to do something a little different this year for our 'Best of' roundup. Instead of a master list compiled of submissions from our contributors and writers, we wanted to give our writers a chance to pick their own Top 5 list of the best of the year in music. Over the next three weeks we will be unveiling our writers' picks for the best of 2004.

Every day we will be posting a new Top 5 list from one of our writers, selected at random. At the conclusion we will reveal the master list. We also want to let you take part and will be accepting nominations for a readers' choice list.

Joey Grace's Top 5 of 2004.

1. Le Tigre- This Island (samples / buy cd | review)

2. Bjork- Medulla (samples / buy cd)

3. Interpol- Antics (samples / buy cd)

4. TV on the Radio- Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (samples / buy cd)

5. Saul Williams- Saul Williams (samples / buy cd)

Check back tomorrow when another member of the antiMusic staff checks in with their top 5 list.

Wait! Be sure to submit your nominations for the Readers' Choice list.
