is MIA somebody different from M.I.A - 'cause listing that [censored] on any list would make me mad. You could say "Murs and Slug Present Felt 2" and it would be a better option for both M and F. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I should probably get Felt on there, but I already had Atmosphere on there. And I really liked Fatlip's album. And stop hating on M.I.A. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [ QUOTE ] G-Get Behind Me Satan-The White Stripes [/ QUOTE ] Good album (better than other slight missteps like Beck's Guero or Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have It So Much Better)... I could probably put it at G instead of Go! Team, I suppose. Bump because CMI hasn't posted his list yet, goddamn slacker.

Re: Best albums of 2005, A to Z
Because the US release of Thunder Lightning Strike butchered the awesomeness that is Huddle Formation (still good obv, but not nearly as much so), I'd sub in Gimme Fiction for G and put in Strange Geometry for S. Awesome, awesome album. I'd personally sub in I Am a Bird Now for I (not big on Sufjan) and put in Doves' Some Cities for D too, but just glancing those are the only changes that immediately pop to mind. Oh, and X&Y for X. Can't think of anything quick for U.

Re: WTF SUPER-MAINSTREAM EDITION
A LOT of those are 2004. I've heard 17 of them, and most weren't that great. Of those that were:
American Idiot - 2004. It'd make the list from that year though. Encore - 2004. Too many missteps to make a list, but it some tracks were solid. The Documentary - 2005. I almost put this on instead of The Go! Team. It's solid (and 50's better on this than he is on his own album) In Between Dreams - Reviewed this, and actually liked it a lot. JJ is enjoyable to listen to. That said, the clog at S meant Sufjan took over the I spot, since that was pretty empty. Hot Fuss - 2004. And weren't The Killers considered "indie" until "Mr. Brightside" hit the Top 40 radio? I'm not sure, I didn't follow them too closely. X & Y - Probably could put this on my list in the X spot, although as with U2, not sure it really deserves it. I thought it was a very disappointing effort, and I hear Coldplay has as much as admitted that pressure to put out albums has diluted their work. Lastly, mainstream country sucks more ass than mainstream pop and rock. :-D

Re: Best albums of 2005, A to Z
One More "indie" release to throw into the fray at either the E or B spot is Lou Barlow's Emoh. Really good folky singer- songwriter type stuff. Some of the best work Lou has done in ages, imho.
