your 2002 best?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Ok boys and girls, 2002 is a thing of the past, so tell us, what music as made you happy and giddy this last year? Give us your top ten best albums or artists or stuff you simply enjoyed.

Tom Waits - Alice; Blood Money - Probably my favourite 2002 albums, i love this man and i love these albums and if you don't you're not my friend
Peter Murphy - Dust - Well, i liked it a lot, quiet, experimental, just nice
Beth Gibbons (and Rustin Man) - Out of Season - I like this a LOT more than Portishead, but then again, that's just me, i'm weird like that
Add N to X - Loud Like Nature - Didn't know them, interesting stuff
Raison D'être - Lost Fragments - One of my all time favourite projects, it's a Cold Meat Industry band (project), i love this stuff, and you should too, or else satan will come and smack you on your ass
Perry Blake - Not on my favourite albums list per se, but a new guy that i got to know this year and liked it
Nature and Organisation - Beauty Reeps the Blood of Solitude - Not a 2002 album, it's from 1994 actually, but one of my best aquisitions this year, simply beautiful beautiful music. It is the project of Michael Cashmore who often works with David Tibet (Current 93)
Blood Axis/LJDLP - Absinthe - Two bands, interesting stuff, i enjoyed it
Backworld - Another new band i got to know this last year, very very nice music, folk, acoustic and... satanic... Yeap, wonderful

Stuff that i simply couldn't get enough of last year: The Sisters, Nick Cave, Current 93, Tom Waits, Peter Murphy, Fields of the Nephilim, Ordo Equilibrio, Raison D'être, Bryan Ferry, Dulce Pontes, Amália Rodrigues, Madredeus, Jay Jay Johanson, Joy Division, The Pogues, Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, Edith piaf, Ali Akbar Khan, Ravi Shankar, Future Sound of London, Banco de Gaia, Rammstein, Death In June, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Tom Jobim, Astor Piazolla, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Loreena Mckennitt, Enigma, Stoa, Estampie, Alan Stivell, Ataraxia, Dead Can Dance, Backworld, Blood Axis, various african drumming/ritualistic stuff, various celtic stuff like The Chieftains, Dolores Keane, Capercaillie, etc., Monks of The Abbey of Notre Dame and various other gregorian chanting, Hildegard Von Bingen, Bach, Schubert, Mozart, Ludwig Van, Chopin, Scarlatti, Jordi Savall, Wagner, Sarasate, Albinoni, Vivaldi, Saint-Saens, Debussy, Scriabin, Schuman, blah blah blah, etc...

Stuff that i couldn't understand what all the hype was about: Interpol, Badly Drawn Boy and Queens of the Stone Age

Ok, now that i've dazzled you all with my pedantic knowledge, it's your turn, i've shown you mine, you show me yours, c'mon, you know you wanna...
