Darth Groovy Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best band: Ministry Best album: Nine Inch Nails:[with teeth] runners up: Audioslave: "Out of Exile" System Of A Down: "Meserize/Hypnotize" Tori Amos: "The Beekeeper" Everything else sucked monkey this year IMO
Sabretooth Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best Band: Flipsyde Best Album: umm... pass
txa1265 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 There was only one truly serious work of epic scope that deserves recognition above the din of all of those 'collections of songs' Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up
Mike Windu Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I have a bad feeling about this thread... anyway, my number one song of 2005, even if it wasn't released in 05, would have to be: Kanye West - Jesus Walks
Boba Rhett Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best Song: Alphaville - Forever Young *is immediately and simultaneously beaten with eighteen shovels*
txa1265 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I have a bad feeling about this thread... I wasn't trying to make the thread take a nosedive ... there was some pretty cool stuff out this year, I added a bunch to my collection, as did my wife and kids ... but Metheny's work was just so epic and sweeping in scope and execution, showing a brilliance in composition and execution, that it makes everything else I heard this year - including some pretty fine jazz stuff - seem like comparing Britney Spears to the Beatles. Mike
Acrylic Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best band: Bright Eyes Best album: Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning Best music video: Bright Eyes - At The Bottom Of Everything Best Single: Bright Eyes - Easy/Lucky/Free (What?!

Mainly Bright Eyes.
acdcfanbill Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 i have a hard time remimbering new albums from this year the new Exodus was good, as well as the new annihiliator, and the old mans child cd. also the dimmu borgir rerecording is ok too. but i cant think of any clear favorites, i'll have to brood a bit
Tyrion Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 The only album that came out this year that I bought was My Morning Jacket - Z, which I guess is my vote then.
Captain Wilson Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 System win it for me, with opeth and ghost revires coming a close second with rosenrot ending up third
CapNColostomy Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 In no particular order, my favorite 3 albums of the year. Soilent Green-Confrontation Goblin Cock-Bagged and Boarded Fantomas-Suspended animation I understand we have minors that visit the forum, but other than the bands name there is nothing inappropriate about this very awesome video: http://www.wormwoodfilms.com/movies/goblin_cock_2.mpg If the name's just too much, mods feel free to edit my post.
BongoBob Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I believe that 30 Seconds to Mars get my vote for most awsome band/cd, followed up by system of a down with hypnotize. Check out 30 Seconds to Mars
toms Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 This year had a lot of ok stuff, but very little that stood out as outstanding imho. Kaiser Chiefs - Employment: This was an excellent album, i like their exuberance. Problem is it got SO overexposed that by the time i finally got it i'd heard the songs like a million times on tv and radio. (clash meets blur) Sigur Ros - Takk: This band took a small while to grow on me, but they are pretty unique and takk is definately a much more accessible album than a few of the early ones. (weird icelandic mellow rock classical) Gorillaz - Demon Days: Simply awesome album. (dance pop rap - i dunno) Green Day - American idiot: was this 2005? Can't think of much else, and can't think of a stand out song of the year either. Tried a soilent green sample. Please don't let me do that again.
Vikinor Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Well I actually started getting into A LOT of Classic Rock this year, but I would say that NIN and My Chemical Romance have some good songs. Can't exactly go any further with new stuff so.........Led Zeppelin rocks EVERY YEAR!
Bob Gnarly Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Sufjan Stevens - Illinois Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow The Decemberists - Picaresque Belle & Sebastian - Push Barman To Open Old Wounds The Clientele - Strange Geometry Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah A lot of good albums.
toms Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Sufjan Stevens - Illinois Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow Been meaning to try those two out for a while, and the Arcade Fire and Anthony & the Johnsons albums.
Darth_Extas Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Best Soundtrack: Star Wars Episode III: The Soundtrack(John Williams conducts London Symphony Orchastra & London Voices) Best Band: Boston Pops (he he so I am a classic music lover) Best Song(s): 1.(Have not figuered out yet) 2. Duel of the Fates/Battle of Heroes 3. Imperial March 4. Tetris Theme/Dr. Mario/Other Video Game Music(That I have and that is good) Best Composer: 1. Bach/Mozart 2. John Williams 3.Nobou Uesteuo(Sorry about spelling of last name, don't have it off hand) Composer of Final Fantasy 4/2.
Reclaimer Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Well, seeing as Metallica didn't release any new records this year, only a DVD with cuts from their Black Album songs, I can only say this year has been the worst, but still, their was some good music. Best Band(s): Korn, Slipknot Best Album(s): Korn - See You On The Other Side; Slipknot - 9.0 Live Best DVD: Metallica - Black Album Uncut Yep, that's my year of music.
txa1265 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I love reading all the stuff here .. only too bad more people haven't chimed in. This forum is always rich with offbeat music tastes - the age group seems best at trying new stuff (as opposed to people my age ... )
edlib Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Eric Johnson - Bloom Cream - At The Royal Albert Hall Ep. III Soundtrack Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Soundtrack Anggun - Luminescence (I don't actually have this one yet, but I've heard most of the tracks...) Unfortunately, that's about all of the albums that I can can think of that I bought or listened to this year that were actually released in 2005. Bought a whole bunch of older albums... but not even as many as in years past. Not a great year for me musically, I'm afraid. The one song that got to me most though is probably "Journey Of The Sorcerer" from the "Hitchhiker's Guide" movie. When that track started in the theater I got chills... I'd been waiting so long...
Lady Jedi Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I really got into some older music this year; a lot of alternative country really, but there was a nice serving of this year's releases that I really enjoyed: Audioslave - Out of Exile | Really sweet album. Some say that it's not as good as their debut, but it's still really great. I listened to it almost nonstop for about a month. Rob Thomas - Something to Be | This is Rob Thomas' (of Matchbox 20) first solo album. I have to say I really hope that he does some more music on his own. I still listen to this one regularly, and it's just as good as ever. 3 Doors Down - Seventeen Days | I got this after hearing only two songs off of it. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was not disappointed. Awesome album. Ryan Adams - Jacksonville City Nights | I only started listening to Ryan Adams last summer, but I've been hooked since I first heard him. Every album I have of his is great, but this is one from 2005 so I list it.
toms Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I must try the new audioslave one as well, the first one was highly flawed, but still had moments of excellence. (and they rock hard live!) Illinoise - hmm, not sure what the fuss is about, though of course it was never likely to live up to the hype. Maybe its a grower, but i wasn't that impressed.
CapNColostomy Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Tried a soilent green sample. Please don't let me do that again. Haha! Not your cup o' tea toms?
