Alright, not a very eventful day. I've been listening and thinking about music a lot as usual and figured I'd try to throw down a list of my top five/ten/twenty/whatever albums of 2005. Oh, listerine is almost amazing [the searing flesh means it's working]
Hopefully this won't take too long...
Alright, I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm going to go w/ ten [and some late entries] b/c five is too tough and twenty is a bit too easy and doesn't take any balls. I think it's going to come down to which ones I have spent enough time with because I've just heard about a lot of great albums in other year end lists. In other words, this could easily change a few weeks down the line as I get more into some of the most recent stuff [it's been a long year]. One more thing, there are many different ways to approach year end lists. I am going to approach this one as 'the ten albums of 2005 that I would want if I could only have ten' so I'm going for quality as well as diversity.
- top [ eleven ] -
Antony & the Johnsons - i am a bird now
Bloc Party - silent alarm
the Go! Team - thunder lightning strike
the Hold Steady - separation sunday
Hot Hot Heat - elevator
Kanye West - late registration
My Morning Jacket - z

Ryan Adams - cold roses
Spoon - gimme fiction
Sufjan Stevens - illinois
