Album of 2005

[Soper]

Mine would be 'II' by a Canadian band called Cursed, althought a notable mentions go to ''The Documentary'' by The Game, and ''Be'' by Common.

I voted for Funeral by Arcade Fire to stop some of that other rubbish winning the poll. My actual favourite album was 'sigur ros - takk' which isn't on it but should be, it's quality.

Well why didn't you vote for "other" then :confused: ;)

I don't want 'other' to win, cos some of the 'other' is rubbish aswell (i'm just waitin on someone to mention JB), so I voted for one I like & expressed my opinion in a post.:p

[SligoBrewer]

Razorlight 's Up All night is a top class album but even better is the special edtion with Somewhere Else.

To Die For

turned out to be my summer album. Was so looking forward to Elec Picnic to see him but the fcuker never turned up!

[Babysis]

Got to be Gypsy Punks by Gogol Bordello; Ukrainian punk music, superb stuff.


I agree, cracking album. Took your advice from our mini pub crawl and bought it. :D

[ccfcman]

Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
Bloc Party -Silent Alarm
Kasabian - Kasabian

All released 2004

Gorillaz are nothing more than blur b-song lyrics with some guy who appears now and then to rap. I blame William Orbit, he caused this irrepairable damage when he produced 13 for blur.


ha ha how old are you , your starting to sound like an old man complaining about the music now adays

i say thank god he has gone away from there pop songs they released in there early albums

feel good inc has one of the best bass lines all year and the guys appearing every now and then as you put it are de la soul !!!!!!!!!! these are top top rappers that have been brought in to rap on this album

[Marked Man]

Amon Tobin: Chaos Theory
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: B sides and Rarities.

Of those listed in the poll, Damien Dempsey's would be the only one I'd listen to.

[Reality Bites]

Arcade Fire - The Funeral

[finlma]

Amon Tobin: Chaos Theory


I have all the old Amon Tobin records - great stuff. One of the better Ninja Tunes artists. I must get my hands on Chaos Theory.

[Marked Man]

You won't be disappointed; it's a cracker.

[finlma]

Another good album that I don't think has been mentioned is the Mercury Prize winner Antony & The Johnson's - I Am A Bird.
His voice is very different and it's an album that you'll either love or hate, personally I thought it was ok :D

[Marked Man]

Long after everyone's stopped paying attention to this thread, two others:

Kinski: Alpine Static (which I only heard this week)
Monolake: Polygon Cities (German minimalist/ambient techno-type stuff)

[tetsujin1979]

Found The Music's "Welcome To The North" in my CD collection yesterday, forgot all about - top album

[pete]

Hard-FI - Stars of CCTC is the best album of 2005 IMHO.

Only discovered that now. Great album.

Forgot about that one myself, must dig it out and give it a listen. Would agree its a real Top album especially the song "Breakin"
