    Josh Rouse

    For an album that I listened to the most I am going to go for

    Josh Rouse with Nashville for 2005 and then Ryan Adams and the Cardinals with Cold Roses.

    Think the singles were re-released after they flopped the first time round. Not sure how 'Rockstar' got stellar this year, but they've just re-released the third single of 2005's album. In 2008. Very strange.

    X&Y worryingly in the running to take the best album of 2005. It's far from Coldplay's best album. If it takes it ahead of Gorillaz, there's no hope in this world. We cannot let this happen.

    i'll be happy if a late surge for Bloc Party takes it either. But please, for the love of God, don't make Coldplay win this. For the record, I don't mind Coldplay so much. 'A Rush of Blood' was a great album, and 'Viva la Vida' and 'Parachutes' good efforts. 'X&Y' marked the decline.

    ABC for 2005.

    Anyone but Coldplay.

    Decline is a bit of a harsh word, Pauro.

    I think X+Y was their only dip below excellence, to be fair.

    Just thought X+Y was a major disappointment compared to the progression made from Parachutes to A Rush of Blood.. It's pretty much Coldplay by numbers, and although I don't dislike the band, just think it'd be a travesty if they win this poll.

    Another 'bubbling under' vote for Foo Fighters 'In Your Honour', one of their better efforts.

    I agree that X+Y is not their best effort and it doesn't deserve to win the poll. That said, I think they've bounced back with a great effort in "Viva la Vida".

    Hands down its Gorillaz. One of my fav albums of all time.
