Best Albums of '05
 

Another year in the ****ter, feel free to list your favorite albums of this year,
these would have to be my top 10.

1. I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes
- Sucker for this man, and this is his best effort yet

2. Separation Sunday - The Hold Steady
- Interesting Lyrics, More defined sound than first album

3. The Best Party Ever - The Boy Least likely to
- Perfect 'Blissful" sound, and lyrics to boot

4. Picturasque The Decemberists
- Big fan of these guys and they keep getting better

5. Neil Young - Praire Wind
- What can I say . . it's Neil .. and he kicks ass.

6. Illionoise - Sufjan Stevens
- Very Creative and relatively unique stuff
7. Out of Exile - Audioslave
- I'm a fool for cornelle's voice and morello's guitar, no matter how uninspired the music they put out may seem

8. With Teeth - Nine Inch Nails
- Better sounding and Better lyriically than last effort "the fragile"

9. Get behind me Satan - The White Stripes
- Different Style than old school stripes, still quality music

10.Lullibies to Paraylze - Queens of the Stone Age
- Goood sounding Rock, nothing mindblowing but i dig their sound and the Lyrics at the least aren't cheesy like most ' rock ' bands today

Honorable Mention - Late Registration - Kanye West
- Sorry Mr.West
