Re: Best Albums of 2005 - Recommendations
I am currently listening to "Antony and the Johnstons - I am a bird now". It won the Mercury award. I like it a lot.

Re: Best Albums of 2005 - Recommendations
I'm on board with the albums by The New Pornographers, Spoon, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
I don't enjoy Surfjan Stevens as much as I think I'm supposed to. Am I the only one? |

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! |

Re: Best Albums of 2005 - Recommendations
I think because You Forgot It In People was so amazing, I was a little letdown by their most recent album. But it's still really good. I don't know all the albums on the list (hence the post), but still too bad Broken Social Scene's latest didn't make the cut.
I like The Go! Team's "Thunder Lightning Strike" off this list - it's a retro (incorporates 70s cop show theme song type melodies, and old school hip hop beats), sometimes unique sound, cool instrumentation too. I heard they're great in concert (gonna see them this week). |
