I think that, also, Pelican's The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw gets my vote.

In addition to The Decemberists "Picaresque" & Sufjan Stevens "Illinois" which have already been mentioned:

Feist - Let It Die;

Brazilian Girls - Brazilian Girls.

Holy tamale.  I shouldn't be able to feel that kind of affection for refracting plastic.

Picaresque was quite a mild effort, it might scrape the lower reaches of my best of 2005...

V/A - By the Roots You Shall Know the Fruits -a massively zoned bone throne

a crime to have released so few (*but still available):
Ai Aso - Umeromonoizen

All the recent Finn stuff, though my Finnish lineage makes me a bit biased.

Speaking of which, I'd best go read the Kalevala...

It was a hell of a lot better then the new 'Babyshambles' album...

Care to explain exactly why you bought that?

I can't believe no one has mentioned Spoon's Gimme Fiction -- one of the best albums I've ever heard.

I'd nominate Funeral and Blinking Lights as well  -- plus, unlike many of my musical peers, I really liked 'Get Behind Me Satan' too. Yeah, the album really could have used more polish but it's still one of the catchiest albums I've heard this year.

Funeral was last year; it topped like every "best of" list.

Gimme Fiction, though - good call. This has been a pretty good year for tunes.

Actually, I thought that was the only remarkable thing about the album - the fact that it was not overproduced. I like albums with no production. If it sounds raw, it's good. And this album at least tried to emulate that sound.

And The Holy Shroud are getting better every time I listen to them. This might just end up as the best album of the year on my list.
But then again, I have also yet to listen The Locust's new album as well, so we'll see...

I didn't like Gimme Fiction as much as Spoon's other stuff. Girls Can Tell is undoubtedly their best work.

And I still think that Pixel Revolt by John Vanderslice is the album of the year.

Right now it's "Illinois", but each time I listen to the BSS album, I love it more and more.
And I'm not going to say anything until the new Fiery Furnaces album comes out. Plus, I've gotta listen to the new Jimmy Buffet.
So, the verdict is still out!

Also, Ryan Adams-Cold Roses, and Bright Eyes-Digital Ash for a Digital Urn should both be on the list. So should John Prine-Fair and Square.

Man, Clor? I thought it was single heavy the front end and then petered into really boring at the end. Like they sort of gave up on being interesting.

Boy Least Likely To is definitely good, but I can't see myself listening to it in 5 years.

Ah Clor have some great tracks in the second half, Making You All Mine and Dangerzone being the best.

And to be honest I can't really see myself listening to any albums from 2005 all that regularly in 10 years.

Although I forgot to mention 13 & God's album as one of the best, not as good as some people will lead you to believe, but still a good record.

I should probably mention that if the question was best album I found out about this year rather than best album that actually came out this year my vote would go to the Picard Song (well, single, not album).  Only four years behind the curve on that one.

I'm casting my two cents in for

7 Seconds'-Take it Back, Take it On, Take it Over
A Wilhelm Scream-Ruiner
the Suicide File-Some Mistakes You Never Stop Paying For
Paint it Black-Paradise
Darkest Hour-Undoing Ruin
the Letters Organize-Dead Rythym Machine
Snuff-Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other
Modern Life is War-Witness
Motion City Soundtrack-Commit This to Memory

as for reissues:
Bedouin Soundclash-Sounding a Moasic
Screeching Weasel-My Brain Hurts
Rise Against-the Unraveling

Additionally, I think I can fairly shoo in the Bouncing Souls live CD that has yet to come out in that list, but technically, I can't.

But really, live Bouncing Souls? There isn't more of a lock than that.

I'm gonna have to put in a vote for Digital Ash. I completely forgot that that was this year. I can't remember February or March at all, so I also forgot about Beck's Guero album. I still listen to that a couple times a week.

Also, Four Tet's Everything Ecstatic came out this year and, though I haven't heard most of it, I liked his previous stuff and reckon it might well be up there.

Given that I can't be arsed to search through your entire oh-so-hip list, I would estimate a good seventy to eighty percent of it to be reviewed on Pitchfork, and almost the entirety of the rest can be found at Tinymixtapes. Oh so indie. Maybe four or five out of the whole list aren't at either. Maybe more, I can't be bothered to go through the whole thing, as the mere fact that you have fetishistically listed every release by any band with the remotest shred of indie cred this year, obviously out of a seething, crawling fear of anyone possibly thinking you are less hip than they are, rather than any remotely sensible shortlisting of your favourite releases, is I think a fact more telling than any comment I could care to make.

Yes, I listen to bands because they are indie, it's not because I really enjoy the music. No, that would be stupid. The way I do things is when I hear an album I like this year I simply put it down in a list I have for when people ask me to recommend them something, I won't be hard pressed to look for something I think they'd like. I don't need your approval for any of my posts or for the music I listen to, seeing as how you have a tendency to listen to some horrible, horrible shit. I was merely replying to the topic in question. Whether they're on Pitchfork or any other online publication doesn't negate the fact that I actually enjoyed each and every album I mentioned.

If I were you, I'd buy the CD's on amazon. Since they're so unheard of, copies of their older CD's go for like, $1. Seriously. I think Will might be more since it's newer, but I saw a copy of Bang, The Earth Is Round on amazon for 35 cents once.

I'm kind of sad to see that nobody has mentioned 'Love Kraft' by Super Furry Animals,  who are on of the best and most consistant bands to have come out of the UK in the past 10 years. It's just a brilliant indie-pop album, with so many details in the background of the music, taht even after weeks of listening to it, I'm still picking new things out in the music. Superb album, and definitely my favourite of the year so far. Shockingly, though, this isn't even their best album either.

The other four in my top 5 at the moment are:

Animal Collective  -  Feels
The New Pornographers  -  Twin Cinema
British Sea Power  -  Open Season
Sigur Ros  -  Takk
