Favorite Music of 2005

This is a short post. I haven’t felt much like posting lately, but since it is the end of the year I thought I would post my favorite albums of the year. My preference for each changes daily, so I’m just listing them randomly:

The Editors – The Back Room (import)
Madonna – Confessions On A Dancefloor
Gorillaz – Demon Days
Ladytron – Witching Hour
Various Artists – Brokeback Mountain Soundtrack
Nickel Creek – Why Should The Fire Die?
Mylo – Destroy Rock and Roll (import)
Rachel Stevens – Come And Get It (import)
Royksopp – The Understanding
Goldfrapp – Supernature (import)

Two albums that I really wanted to like but didn’t were Depeche Mode’s Playing The Angel and Robbie Williams’ Intensive Care (import). Although I will say that Robbie’s album was much better than DM’s.
