1. What was the best album released in 2004?
The Scorpions' Unbreakable
2. What was the best single released in 2004?

Bernie Barlow, who sings backup for The Moody Blues is also damned good as a solo artist. You can purchase her Golden CD on her website. You really should check it out. It's fantastic!

Terri Clark's Girls Lie Too. Not only is it a great song, but the video featuring an immitation Captain Jack Sparrow is positively hilarious.
5. What was the best concert you attended this year?
The Moody Blues in Atlantic City on June 19, 2004.
