Best of 2005 (Like You Care)

Here is a list of what I listened to quite a bit this past year, and in alphabetical order no less. Check out last year's list.

Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die - Bands with eight members create a lot of interesting layers.

Beck - Guero - Rock on with yer bad self.

Black Mountain - S/T - Stoner rock, for sure.

Caribou - The Milk of Human Kindness - This DJ from Canada gets my seal of approval, even if he is Canadian.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - S/T - This was their self-released debut?!? Damn.

The Deadly Snakes - Porcella - These "garage rockers" take their sound to the next level. The attic? Seriously, this album rocks.

Decemberists - Picaresque - Songs about the sea? I'm sold.

LCD Soundsystem - S/T - "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" should be played at every party from here on out.

The Modey Lemon - The Curious City - Pittsburgh representin'.

My Morning Jacket - Z - These long hairs from Louisville are blowin' up.

The National - Alligator - This album is perfect.

Oneida - The Wedding - I got to see these guys play at Gooski's. Pretty sweet.

Spoon - Gimme Fiction - This band has yet to disappoint me. Thanks guys.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois - I wasn't a huge fan of his prior work, but this album is amazing.

Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary - Woah, these dudes are different. Hooray for originality!
