top 10+ albums of 2005

ok, its a rainy day here on bhoput beach.. and what do we do on rainy days in bhoput beach? remember that i never officially reported my top 10 albums of 2005 and that i need to do that immediately.. see, i have been doing it since about my first year of college and i think it will be cool to look back on later in life. so i know this probably isnt the blog you had in mind, but that is coming in the next day or two.. promise. i just need to get some pictures lined up and such.

so here we go, top albums of 2005 (it was a dynamite year for music in my opinion):

1) my morning jacket - z
2) elbow - leaders of the free world
3) of montreal - the sunlandic twins
4) spoon - gimme fiction
5) brendan benson - alternative to love
6) the go! team - thunder, lightning, strike
7) sufjan stevens - illinois
8) jack johnson - in between dreams
9) mason jennings - use your voice
10) annie - anniemal (2005 release in the USA)

just for good measure:

11) arcade fire - funeral
12) emiliana torrinni - fishermans woman
13) josh rouse - nashville
14) engineers - self titled
15) the mobius band - city v. country EP
