Best of pre-2004 in 2005
lastclearchance:
I'm not quite ready to rank this year's music but I am interested in seeing what people discovered this year that isn't new. I suppose this is mostly because, while my current tastes were certainly developing in 2004, they really blossomed this year. I excluded 2004 and 2005 releases, as well as those purchased as a result of liking a 2004 or 2005 record and then buying earlier records (e.g. Sufjan Stevens' Michigan).
1. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
2. The Avalanches - Since I Left You
3. Beulah - Handsome Western States
4. The New Pornographers - Electric Version
5. The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee
6. The Long Winters - When I Pretend to Fall
7. Desaparecidos - Read Music/Speak Spanish
8. Mclusky - Mclusky Do Dallas
9. The Wrens - The Meadowlands
10. The Books - The Lemon of Pink
So what (other than new music) have you all discovered this year?
Sideways:
Music I discovered this year that isn't new:
Modest Mouse: The Moon & Antarctica
Come to think of it, that's it. I don't usually listen to new things... a habit I'm trying to break.
KharBevNor:
Much better topic for me this year. One album per artist only, my top 10 discoveries this year are:
1: Sol Invictus - The Death of the West
2: Agalloch - Pale Folkore
3: Sabbat - History of a Time to Come
4: Wyrd - Huldrafolk
5: Current 93 - Cats Drunk on Copper
6: Xasthur/Nortt - Split
7: Stormtroopers of Death - Bigger Than the Devil
8: Blackmore's Night - Shadow Of The Moon
9: Treblinka - Crawling in Vomits
10: Anne Clark - RSVP
I might play with the order possibly, but it looks right.
ASturge:
hmmm
The New Pornographers
Boards of Canada
Viva Voce

Khar... since you're into metal, I have a recommendation for you - in case you don't already know about them.
Outrage.
They're a Japanese metal band that sound like - basically - what Metallica /should/ have sounded like. Think back to Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, etc... and imagine Metallica splitting in two. One band becomes...umm... Japanese, and continues to perfect their current craft. The other loses a basist, puts out one more decent album, then sells out.
