Best of 2005
Red House Painters:
Nice list, Dara. I had forgotten about Oh You're So Silent Jens. I'm loving that album.
Dara:
pat, painters: thanks!
nescience: that's a sexy list you have there. I haven't spent that much time with Noumena yet, I think I wore myself out listening to the sample of Invisible Cities from their website ad infinitum before it came out. I really want to check out Blurred in my Mirror also...
I think you can get the Riow Arai collab. at Amazon.co.jp, in fact there's a deal where you can get it along with 28.
btw, the Daedelus album: rockin. didn't make my top 30, but "Thanatopsis" is one of my favorite songs ever right now. it helps that I am a Hirway fan, but man, that song is so powerful. I've asked to have it played at my funeral. <_<
fathertoasisterofthought:
My top albums are (in an order that will eventually be sorted out and elaborated upon at a later date and posted all over the interweb):
Illinois-Sufjan Stevens
Get Behind Me Satan-The White Stripes
Picaresque-The Decemberists
Twin Cinema-The New Pornographers
Extraordinary Machine (Jon Brion version)-Fiona Apple
Broken Social Scene-Broken Social Scene
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning-Bright Eyes
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah-Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Good songs from pretty good albums:
Plans-Death Cab for Cutie: "Marching Bands of Manhattan", "Summer Skin", "I Will Follow You Into the Dark", "Your Heart Is An Empty Room"
You Could Have It So Much Better-Franz Ferdinand: "Eleanor Put Your Boots On", "Walk Away", "The Fallen", "Do You Want To"
Descended Like Vultures-Rogue Wave: "10:1", "Bird On A Wire", "Are You On My Side"
Guero-Beck: "Earthquake Weather", "Rental Car", "Girl", "Que Onda Guero"
Albums I need a little more time with to declare true bestness: I Am A Bird Now-Antony and the Johnsons, Gimme Fiction-Spoon (I bought this the day it came out and I still can't wrap my head around it completely; maybe I'm digging too deep), Moxie Bravo-The High Strung
Most beautiful, life-assuring, and long-overdue compilation: Push Barman to Open Old Wounds-Belle and Sebastian
iamtheaznman:
My top ten in no particular order:
1. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
2. Bloc Party: Silent Alarm
3. The Boy Least Likely To: The Best Party Ever
4. Art Brut: Bang Bang Rock & Roll!
5. The Aquabats: Charge!!
6. Iron & Wine: Women King
7. Kaiser Chiefs: Employment
8. The Decemberists: Picaresque
9. Wolf Parade: Apologies to the Queen Mary
10. Maximo Park: A Certain Trigger
I think the one album that I really enjoyed that didn't get here was Low: The Great Destroyer. I thought that one was really nice.
surefunk:
my top five:
wolf parade- apologies
why?- elephant eyelash
sufjan- illinois
boy least likely to- best party ever
dylan- no direction home
and i left this out cause it was actually a 2004 release, but it hit me hard this year, so it gets a mention:
destroyer- your blues
