My Top 10 Albums of 2005 - With links to selected tracks
Here are (more or less) my top 10 albums of the year, with a link to download one of the best/shortest/most accesible song off the album. This is not a thread to namedrop obscure indie artists but a thread to try and recommend some music. Everyone is encouraged to join, as long as the album is from 2005. This isn't just for me to give you music, though, but for me to get some as well.
I left out Sufjan, NIN, The White Stripes, and Bloc Party because I think everyone's heard those by now, but go ahead and link songs to them if you feel like - as long as it's from 2005 and you list the artist and album first. I'll seriously download any song posted as long as it meets the previous criteria. 1. Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die (Maybe You Can Owe Me) - An amazing a beautiful pop song. 2. Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust (Slow Down Gandhi) - A political rap song, Sage Francis shows his mastery of the English language. 3. The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema (Use It) - Kickass pop/rock song from an indie supergroup. 4. M.I.A. - Arular (Bingo) - great production on this song sung by a sri-lanka-via-london vocalist. MORE TO COME AS I UPLOAD THEM |

5. Sleater-Kinney - The Woods (Wilderness) - probably the hardest band I listen to on a regular basis, which is ironic because they're a 3-piece female band. still catchy as all hell.
