and BBC's...
Albums that mattered in 2005. 2005 was the year the DIY ethic made real headway with Arctic Monkeys and Sway making a big name for themselves - all by themselves. Quality acts like Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Rós, Eels, SFA, The White Stripes, Boards Of Canada, Beck, Four Tet, Roots Manuva and Elbow all returned with good records.
The Magic Numbers' winsome pop made lots of new friends, while Gorillaz made a plain fantastic pop album with producer du jour, Danger Mouse, who also teamed up with our fave rapper MF Doom for, you guessed it, Dangerdoom. Meanwhile Kanye West confirmed his position at the top of the hip-pop tree.
Of the Mercury Prize nominees, we really liked Maximo Park, the most versatile of the angular guitar bunch, and Bloc Party’s album has something classic about it. MIA’s art-school electro also has its moments (courtesy of producer power from Diplo and Yes Productions), and KT Tunstall proved you can be talented, grounded and mainstream all at once. As for Antony & The Johnsons - no one else sounds like that, and for good reason. Why don't we like the Kaiser Chiefs? Or Pete Doherty for that matter? Answers on a post below.
Twas another bumper year for singer/songwriters: Jose Gonzalez, Willy Mason and King Creosote all did good. Bright Eyes also impressed with two good albums at the same time, but somehow he didn't endear himself to Collective. I bet he’s gutted. So where does that leave us? With all the other good stuff you might have missed of course…

its a bit messy and fragmented.. thats one of the reason i enjoyed it though. L.A. times isnt exactly the bible but their main critic put it as album of the year.
on a side note.. i know rolling stone magazine is a bit of a joke but they put the rolling stone's 'a bigger bang' in second place. I cant be arsed to try it out... has anyone done so?
