Blane Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Since I don't have a clue about those Rolling Stone albums I thought I'd start my own thread!I'll offer up a few that I loved from this year:In no particular order.- Smog: A River Ain't Too Much to Love (possibly his best album, or at least a tie with Dongs of Sevotion)- Bell Orchestre: Recording a tape the colour of light (great debut album!)- Wolf Parade: Wolf Parade (great debut album, sorta!)- Feist: Let it Die (more canadiana. YES!)- Calexico/Iron & Wine (forget the title but I can't stop listening to this)- M. Ward: Transistor Radio (not as strong a follow-up to Transfiguration as I'd hoped for but still freakin' great)HONOURABLE MENTIONS:(Stuff I've heard great things about but haven't checked out yet)- Bonnie Prince Billy and Matt Sweeny-Superwolf - Beck - Guero!- black mountain - s/t- Coletrane- Live at the Half Note- Wilco- Kicking TV (Live)Also: Broken Social Scene- s/t (a bit too hit and miss to make the list for me)Tortoise and Will Oldham- The Brave and the Bold (didn't think much of it at first but this is growing on me)Islands: Return to the sea (doesn't come out 'till 2006 but this is going to be a big hit I think) Edited December 20, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Although I won't attempt to rank 50 albums that I listened to this year, here is a quick list of what caught my attention this year: - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - self titled - Sufjan Stevens- Illinoise - Neil Young- Prairie Wind - Beck- Guero - The Decemberists- Picaresque - The Mars Volta- Frances the Mute Once again, there was just too much to listen to this year to really embrace the whole spectrum. I was disappointed by Get Behind Me Satan by the White Stripes, and my guilty pleasure record is The Cookbook by Missy Elliott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
