I have raved about all of the albums in my top 10 so far, and I will rave even more for the top 5. But I do not normally do this; I think that 2005 was a stellar year for pop music, twice as good as 2004. Any of the albums in my top 10 would easily make it into last year's top 5, with some threatening the #2 spot (behind SMiLE). Here is last year's top 10, for reference:
1. SMiLe
2. Air-Talkie Walkie
3. Jason Forrest-Unrelenting Songs...
4. Concretes-Concretes
5. Ratatat-Ratatat
6. DFA79-You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
7. Architecture in Helsinki-Fingers Crosses
8. Black Keys-Rubber Factory
9. Roots-Tipping Point
10. Apes-Tapestry Mastery AND Califone-Heron King Blues
Also, I apologize ahead of time for not including Art Brut on my list, making me the only one. I guess I'm not cool! It's alright: "Popular Culture / No Longer Applies to Me"
