best albums of 2005

I found myself gravitating towards the indie rock scene in 2005, listening to (or enjoying) far less hip-hop and basically no r&b

Best albums

Silent Alarm by Bloc Party
instantly liked this album, still holds up as one of the year's best


The Bravery by The Bravery
infectious stuff

Other favorites

The Massacre by 50 Cent
people were trying to hate on 50 and the ever expanding g-unit empire, he got a great sophomore album on his hands despite the swollen ego


Never Scared by Chris Rock
you might have to like stand up (or Chris Rock)


X&Y by Coldplay
solid though weaker than last album


The Documentary by Game
1st good album of the year, all the beef gossip aside, this is a tight album with some of the best rap songs put out this year


Hot Fuss (Limited Edition) by Killers
re-issues are lame but the Killers had that good a year (the original Hot Fuss came out in 2004)

Very good


Awesome concert albums (more here)


Older stuff



Update
Jan 2006, I upgraded the Editors album from 3 to 4/5
Feb, got to add Walk The Line OST (great movie help)
March, nice find with Mest and Tom Vek, upgraded Rogue Wave
May, added The Fray, upgraded Editors to full 5/5 werd!
