Ten Best Albums of 2005 I have a very unique style of taste when it comes to music albums. A lot of people I know like 30-40 albums a year, yet only listen to each one for about three weeks before pushing it to the side and allowing it to collect dust...I am not this way. I will usually only enjoy about 10 albums a year (in their entirety) and listen to them for about three or four months each. Below is a list of my top ten, not completely based on the quality of the album, but also the personal connection I had with it.
1-The Receiving End Of Sirens- Between The Heart And the Synapse
2-Acceptance- Phantoms
3-Mae- Everglow
4-Copeland- In Motion
5-Days Away- Mapping An Invisible World
6-Augustana- All the Stars And Boulevards
7-Cartel- Chroma
8-The Starting Line- Based On A True Story
9-Anberlin- Never Take Friendship Personal
10-The Higher- Histrionics
-- Best EP Of 2005 EP's are usually useless to me, but I really enjoyed Ludo's EP because it had an incredible concept and an innovative and revolutionary style.
Ludo- Broken Bride
-- Up-And-Comers To Watch in 2006 These bands aren't necessarilly bands that I enjoy (although most of them are), but just bands that I feel will solidify a large fanbase sometime within the next year.
1-As Tall As Lions
2-From First To Last
3- Hellogoodbye
4-Aiden
5-The Higher
6-Anathallo
7-Augustana
8-Novice
9-Cartel
10- Treaty Of Paris

Oh, I like Novice. Glad you mentioned them. I like your list alot. And I know we will both be made fun of for liking Lifehouse.....But I think they have some good stuff.
I must admit, I was really surprised when I saw Lifehouse down as your best single.
I never thought I'd see that on any of the lists, that's such a great song though.
Nice list
I agree a heavy majority of your list. I love how you have Acceptance as your #2 album yet you have "Different" as one of the worst singles of the year. On the same page with you there...loved the album overall and definitely think its top 10 for the year material, but "Different" was a horrible choice for a single and the last song on the album I would have released as one.
I'm glad to see the Mae, Copeland, Days Away love. Similarly to what you said, they may not be the "best" albums of '05 in some senses, but they def. are ones that i have not stopped listening to since their release, which is rare for me.
