Top Albums of 2005

While I still bought CDs this year (however not as many), the pickings were pretty slim on albums that I thought were great and originally released in 2005. I’m not sure if any of these would even have made it on last year’s top 5 list. If I included albums I didn’t buy, then this list may be slightly different (although I try to buy the albums that I like).

1. Franz Ferdinand – You Could Have It So Much Better
2. Bloc Party – Silent Alarm
3. Kaiser Chiefs – Employment
4. Coldplay – X&Y

Probably the best albums I bought this year weren’t even released in 2005. These were:

1. The Stills – Logic Will Break Your Heart (2003)
2. John Mayer – Room For Squares (2001)
3. The Donnas – Gold Medal (2004)
4. Interpol – Turn On The Bright Lights (2002)
5. Feist – Let It Die (2004)
6. Damien Rice – O (2003)
