Seeing as though you're a Zep fan, I guess you're an expert on effing horrible pretentious crap.

Here are some of my favorite albums of 2005:

Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock and Roll - funny, catchy pop rock

Sleater-Kinney - The Woods - Grrl Rock

Sleater-Kinney is pretty cool, although they could improve by changing up their tone a bit. It's like listening to Pennywise.

Your comment about Art Brut makes clear that the point has been totally lost on you.

I can't stop listening to this CD and it keeps getting better and better.

The Listening Post on Accuradio.com is great for new stuff and you can skip the crap you don't like. Current play list includes Sufjan, My Morning Jacket, New Pornographers, Wolf Parade, Son Volt, Nickel Creek, and Coheed and Cambria, all decent. Unfortunately they also have a couple of tracks from the new McCartney and Stones album, but luckily you can just skip them. I highly recommend this channel for new but accessible stuff.

thanks for all the replies guys. in response to some of the suggestions, I've already downloaded some Iron & Wine, I forget what it sounds like though so I'll have to listen again, and Belle & Sebastian, which I enjoy.

what do yall think of elliot smith?

[kagame]

can someone explain iron and wine to me?

why death cab, postal service, AND iron and wine?

it just seems so excessive

btw ARCADE FIRE ARCADE FIRE ARCADE FIRE IS AWESOME

Your post seems to indicate you think Ben Gibbard is a part of iron and wine. he is not. that is sam beam's work, and it is amazing - especially his last two releases (our endless numbered days and woman king)
