What's yours...?

(Or your Top 10 if 20 is too much hard work...)

Albums or Singles?

Probably. But is there much good coming out in December album wise? Theres a few good DVD's coming out though. Looking forward to that Muse DVD thats coming out.

I believe the U2 song in question is "Sometimes you cant make it on your own." Dedicated to his dad at every gig i believe. Nice gesture, crap song.

good god there's a lot of dross in the lists above

& i forgot e-talking too! d'oh!

great artwork as weel on those

Sorry. I do not buy singles. They are almost as expensive as albums... And albums are usually filled with two or three singles and a lot of useless songs, oftently weaker than a b-side... and b-sides do not exist anymore cause singles are full of even more useless remixes of the single...

If X equals the number of singles released in 2005, I'd rate The Darkness's "One Way Ticket to Hell...and Back" at No. X + 1.

lookin at all your entries, its obviously been a fuckin terrible year for singles. (evil/interpol excluded)

Even worse than Charlotte Church, the new Sugababes song or the new Pussycat Dolls song!?

I disagree, I think this year has been really good for new music.

I agree with the man who disagrees! Although there has been a fair amount of shite this year, such as Towers of London, Magic Shitbags, and more from the D*rkness and Razorshite.

Find it difficult to name a top 20 but this year i have been mostly digging the releases by Doves ,Editors ,New Order,Sigur Ros, The Magic Shitbags (sorry , just like em )and LCD Soundsystem

EDIT. Oh and also a bit of Arcade Fire and Bloc Party ,too.And Gorillaz album was on constant rotation in the summer. Vitalic's album is tops, also.

My top choons:

10. Hard-Fi - Cash Machine
11. Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You
12. Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch
13. Art Brut - Emily Kane
14. Client - Pornography
15. Editors - Munich
16. Doves - Black and White Town
17. Mylo - Drop the Pressure
18. Art Brut - Bad Weekend
19. Tom Vek - I Aint Saying My Goodbyes

Well, I do try. But Tom Vek? And the Magic Shitbags? Come on Mark! Thats just lazy.

tom vek actually did one song as karaoke when i saw him!

i do like one of the tracks on the album very much, but not sure if it was a single & cant remember the title off the top of my head

This thread surely doesn't deserve to die just yet, especiacially as it is now the emd of 2005. Some people only managed half of the suggested figure of 20. So I'm gonna make up for it by doing 10 extra. In very rough 1-30 order:

Editors: Bulletts N/o: WFTSC The Kills: The Good Ones (Tiga & Backstage sluts mixes deserve special mention) Joseph Arthur: Even Tho Tom Vek: Green Lights (esp. Digitalism remix) Hal: Play the Hits N/O : Krafty The Killers: Spomebody told me u2 City of blinding lights White Stripes: My Doorbell The Futureheads: Hounds of Love Doves: Black & White town Kaiser Chiefs: oh my God Arcade Fire: Power Out The Bravery: an honest mistake !!! (chk chk chk): Take Ecstacy with me Sarah Vaughan/ Adam Freeland: Fever Hard Fi: Tied up too tight Sebastien Tellier: La Ritournelle Kubb: Wicked Soul Tiefschwarz: Isst Maximo Park:Going Missing (surely catchier than "Apply...") Go Team: Bottle Rocket Goldfrapp: number 1 The National: Abel Twin Freaks (P Mccartney & freelance Hellraiser): Really Love You Xpress 2/ Kurt Wagner: Give it Razorlight: Somewhere Else SCAM: Put your hands up/ Acid love (double A side) Gorillaz: Dare Chemical Bros: The Boxer

Well maybe that's 31 but there was just a wealh of great singles in 2005. I'm shocked that some people don't agree, maybe it comes from hearin James Cunt too much on the radio...

In no particular order, stuff I enjoyed this year:

1. I Need Some Fine Wine, And You, You Need To Be Nicer - Cardigans
2. Even Tho - Joseph Arthur
3. Evil - Interpol
4. Dare - Gorillaz
5. All About Us - t.A.T.u.
6. Caught Up - Usher (you heard me right, bitch)
7. E-Pro - Beck
8. Bullets - Editors
9. New York Excuse - Soulwax
10. Krafy - New Order
