i think stars of CCTV by hard fi is THE defining album of 2005, and they will be ending the year by playing up to the bells at edinburghs hogmanay party

sounding like an up to date version of the clash, the tunes from this album have featured on many a trailer for tv shows on all channels. they were robbed of the mercury music prize award this year

a band to look out for, they have a lot of new songs already in the can, i think 2006 will be a great year for them when the 2nd album is released

Greenday - American Idiot (that was this year wasnt it)
Ben Folds - Songs For Silverman

thought it wasnt a great year for music neither, after all it was the year that brought us the crazy frog.

only other album of note i bought this year was arcade fire- funeral, but thats a 2004 album by a band that made it big in 2005, cracking album as well. bloc partys album is good as well though.

Maybe I should've said something like: "I think it's been a great year for music (away from the mainstream)"

Alot of excellent albums released in the more obscure, 'underground' rock/prog/metal scene!
