top 20 records of 2005
Kai:
Shit, Creme, was Suspended Animation released this year? For some odd reason I thought it was a 2004 thing. Now I have to revise my lists.
Der Golem:
I really haven't been keeping up with new releases this year. And for the most part the stuff I did keep up with sucked. (Fuck you Soad).
However Ghost Reveries, Takk... and Suspended Animation all kick vast amounts of ass.
MilkmanDan:
Vitalic > Isolee > Poker Flats Vol 4 > *. Some of the Indie stuff is pretty good if I'm feeling a bit boring. Never heard of Yob, The Juan MacLean, The Hold Steady or Clor. Had this been some sort of competition, I guess I would have done OK.
Storm Rider:

That's why Liquid Tension Experiment happened.

Actually, the John Petrucci solo album Suspended Animation was released earlier this year, and it's about as close to a third LTE album as we're ever going to get (Portnoy has already said that there will be no reunion). There's no Rudess keyboard madness on it, but Portnoy does all the drumming and LaRue is pretty much on par with Levin in terms of bassage.

That you've never heard of The Juan Maclean surprises me a bit. Personally, I think that the Juan Maclean debut blew LCD Soundsystem's out of the water, particularly since he didn't succumb to the generic DFA sound.
Oh and this was a competition, didn't you know? You take your list and score it against the one recently posted at Pitchfork, to see how truly "indie" you are. Bonus points if you score someone that Pitchfork wouldn't dream of even on an all night pabst bender. Supermega bonus points if your number one matches theirs, because you're just that cool.
:P
