10 best albums of 2005

Post by bovine »

What are your 10 favorite albums of 2005? They could be in order or not. Mine are in order, as best I could...it was tough though!

1. The Bad Plus – Suspicious Activity?
2. Our Lady Peace – Healthy In Paranoid Times
3. Fiona Apple – Extraordinary Machine
4. The Duhks – The Duhks
5. Laura Veirs – Year Of Meteors
6. Ben Folds – Songs For Silverman
7. Jamie Cullum – Catching Tales
8. Dave Matthews Band – Stand Up
9. Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth
10. Tori Amos – The Beekeeper

I don't think there's any other CDs coming out this year that I'm really waiting for, but I guess this could get updated in the next month...I doubt it though!

Brutus is an honorable man
It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

But Brutus is an honorable man...

Do they have to be albums FROM 2005 or just albums that we loved IN 2005?

Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

1. Our Lady Peace - Healthy In Paranoid Times
2. Staind - Chapter V
3. 30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie
4. Theory Of A Deadman - Gasoline
5. Coldplay - X&Y


I only bought 5 new albums this year... so it's hard to slap any more on there.. lol.. unlike most people, I was really disappointed with X&Y.. A Rush Of Blood To The Head was amazing imo.. but X&Y didn't have that same .. something.. to it.. Gasoline's ok, nothing special.. A Beautiful Lie's really good.. it was actually a tough call between Chapter V & Healthy In Paranoid Times for my #1 cd from this year... but I'll give it to HIPT

I will have to say that OLP and Kanye West will be on my list...."Late Registration" is arguably one of the best albums released this year.

Well, if Jamie Foxx got his album out before the new year..... :lol:
