2005: a great year for my ipod

my top 10 of the year:

honorable mention: youth group - skeleton jar and armor for sleep - what to do when you are dead

10) jonathan rice - trouble is real
i know you are asking, who the heck is this? all i have to say is listen to "mid-november"
9) franz ferdinand - you could have it so much better
i know what you're thinking, the last cd was horrible, but this cd is freaking amazing...
8) coldplay - x&y
they are coldplay...
7) death cab for cutie - plans
they had me with the first song
6) ben folds - songs for silverman
though i bought this cd a few months ago, i have a new found obsession for this man
5) acceptance - phantoms
i believe this is most underrated album of the year... stupid columbia/sony/bmg they need to learn to spend their money on good music as opposed to payola for crappy music.
4) as cities burn - son, i loved you at your darkest
OMG, so good.
3) sherwood - sing, but keep going
seriously, this cd is beautiful. they are amazing live but this cd is just one of those simple, down to earth, i am content type cds that will make you want to smile
2) mae - the everglow
life packaged into a cute little disc that makes me cry everytime it ends...
1) thrice - vheissu
if an amazing piece of art could suck the feeling out of people and cram itself into a compact disc to convey the beauty of everything, this would be it :) which is why it slowly edged out mae for being my favorite cd of the year. mae put life into a cd but thrice took it to a new level.

yes, i know... pretty shallow of a list, there are millions more cds that i want to purchase that are supposedly the best, but these ones i bought and love with all my heart :) besides, it's my list... go make your own :)
