No, the Army are still going strong, they played the Temple Bar Music Centre on December 3rd, Fecking great show. They are celebrating 25 years on the road. They have played over in Dublin & Cork the last four/five years around Christmas time.

Also check out Justin Sullivan�s solo cd Navigating By The Stars, a great chill-out album

Razorlight- Up All Night

A classic album with each and every song top class. Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned already.

Also thought Goralliaz Demon Days was very Good

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.

I only listened to one, and it's a top class one:

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - Siberia

what more can one want?

surprised that noone has mentioned system of a downs album released earlier this year hypnotise(i think) therir new album is top drawer as well!

**De Town** · 24/12/2005, 1:21 PM

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

**ollie** · 25/12/2005, 11:37 AM

haven't heard many albums but the coldplay album is my favourite of what i have heard.

**superfrank** · 26/12/2005, 4:22 PM

Of the albums up there, Arcade Fire is the best one and I've only had it a month!!

**Pat O' Banton** · 31/12/2005, 1:36 PM

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

Surely no-one can seriously nominate; Hard fi, the Kasier Chiefs or Razorlight as even being good albums never mind one of the best albums of the year, if any of them were playing in my back garden i'd buy a gun.

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.

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.
