My Top 10 Albums of 2005 - With links to selected tracks

10. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (Is This Love?) - Probably should've gone to Iron and Wine, but that's an EP so I'm OK with this. Good, catchy abstract pop. It's different from normal but still accessible.

I nominate gay hipster crap for genre of the year.

Seriously, I'm a huge pop fan. I like catchy music and I've linked to some of the catchiest music of the year in the thread.

Good stuff there, although I'm mixed about S-Kinney, gets annoying fast I find. You like Sufjan so you might like one of my picks for the year, kind of similiar, more like B&S....Sons and Daughters new album The Repulsion Box and especially their release from last year Love the Cup.

I need to get it. DCW was one of my favorites of the past few years.

Everyone seems to have different favorite songs off Twin Cinema.

I think the title track is the best rocker on there -- just intense and catchy and awesome. But the best song on the album is "The Bleeding Heart Show," not just for the way it builds into that sensational "Hey la, hey la" chorus that dominates the third act, but also for the SIIIICK! drum fills that start to pile on top of one another for the final minute. It's the best percussion work from any band this year.

Yeah, the biggest reason Twin Cinema is the best NP album is the vastly improved drums.
