At Jyqm's insistence, here is a thread for you to tell us all what your favorite albums of 2005 are so far.

Fire away, babes.

Without question: Language,Sex,Violence,Other?-Stereophonics :thumbsup:

Off the top of my head...

Erasure - Nightbird
Rob Thomas - ...something to be
Depeche Mode - Playing The Angel (not released until 10/18, but I know I'll love it :))
Coldplay - X&Y
New Order - Waiting For The Sirens Call

The Bonnie Raitt album is the only thing from 2005 I've bought this year. I've been on kind of an old-school jazz kick. :sorry:

My friend absolutely raves about that Coldplay cd.

Let's put You Could Have It So Much Better on there now Josh. We've both already had it for a while. :laugh: It's AMAZING. :nod:

Bowery Songs - Joan Baez
Bleed Like Me - Garbage
You're Speaking My Language - Juliette and the Licks
Twin Cinema - New Pornographers
You Could Have It So Much Better - Franz Ferdinand
Prairie Wind - Neil Young
Moonlight Serenade - Carly Simon (bite me)

Get the DualDisc, the video footage has a Bike!Race to a mailbox. :laugh:

It's too good. Every song owns.

Interesting. I had no idea Joan Baez had a new album out.

It's a live album. :nod: Worth getting for "Motherland," "Dink's Song," and "Christmas In Washington" alone. Her voice is as beautiful as ever.

Her last studio album Dark Chords On A Big Guitar is a masterpiece, too.

Life in Slow Motion - David Gray
Cold Roses / Jacksonville City Nights - Ryan Adams
Extraordinary Machine - Fiona Apple
The Beekeeper - Tori Amos
Devils & Dust - Bruce Springsteen
Amos Lee - Amos Lee

No doubt about it. Her voice is one of the best. :thumbsup:

New Order have become a parody of themselves, all down to the cover art which has none of Peter Saville's former brilliance, all down to the generic dance beats they now employ (whereas before they used to craft far more complex rhythmic patterns and helped shaping an entire genre) and all down to Bernard Sumner's lyricism which has grown weaker year by year. Now they're miserable bastards without drugs. I like it!

Oh good lord, how could I forget whatever the hell Carrie Underwood's album is..... :rolleyes: :p :lol:

"Add To The Beauty" - Sara Groves

"Rock of Ages...Hymns & Faith" - Amy Grant

"Something To Be..." - Rob Thomas

"Now What" - Lisa Marie Presley
