Re: Best Albums of 2005 - Recommendations
Oddly I would agree with most of this list...even though I hate music critics...maybe the Hole is greater than than the Some.
Lost And Safe by The Books is not so great...quirky noises ... somewhat annoying... They forgot: White Stripes --Get Behind Me Satan Dungen-- Ta det lugnt and some hiphop that has been discussed recently. And of course the Tender & Vulnerable !!i! |

The list should also include: The Mouse and the Mask by DangerDoom You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having by Atmosphere You Could Have It So Much Better by Franz Ferdinand The Weight is a Gift by Nada Surf Broken Social Scene by Broken Social Scene Albums that are decent, although not best of the year material: Weapons of Mass Destruction by Xzibit In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson The B.Coming by Beanie Siegel Black Mountain by Black Mountain Silent Alarm by Bloc Party Guero by Beck Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes The Documentary by The Game Still lots of other albums I should grab to catch up.

2. Illinois by Sufjan Stevens 16. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes [/ QUOTE ] Even though Lifted is better, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is pretty darn good too. Illinois = 2nd best album of the 21st century. |

(I'm not arguing with you, my Illinois jocking is apparent, I've never felt the way I do about any whole album like I did that one) |

Re: Best Albums of 2005 - Recommendations
Never heard of Sufjan Stevens. 50 albums for 50 states? That is unbelievably ambitious and awesome. I love Dylan & Springsteen, so if his work is similar to that type of songwriting, I will check it out. Can anybody confirm?

I thought as much...I was mainly referring to the "storytelling" aspects of the lyrics. I will check out and post a TR.

Re: Best Albums of 2005 - Recommendations
My two favorite albums this year are
Ray Lamontagne - Trouble and Ben Taylor - Another Run around the Sun But I haven't heard anything from that list so I am guessing I am not listing to right genres for the board. (Ben Taylor is James Taylor's son) |
