until a few weeks ago i would have said Bloc Party's silent alarm with nine black alps' everthing is a close second............but i have to recommend


Black rebel motorcycle club - Howl
Despite the evolution in sound you can still tell its BRMC, but its full of blues, folk, country, gospel influences and is fantastic. the power and quality of the song writing really stands on on the acoustic or paino driven numbers

Hmmm hard question.

The only 2005 that really made me jump is Multiply by Jamie lidell, but I still like a lot Untilted by Autechre and Sufjan Stevens' exploration of the Illinois:D

Ditto.

(Will someone PULEASE do something about the 10 letter rule?! )

Well so far in 2005 the only thing I've gotten that I'd hate to live without is M83 "Before the Dawn Heals Us" I've listened to it so much.

Got to see them in Toronto in the spring too, they put on a stellar show, one of the best I've gone to this year (along with Meat Beat Manifesto).

Roisin Murphy - Ruby Blue

also because of two (soon three) wonderful live performances.

Re: Only One Record
 

out hud's let us never speak of it again.

i've listened to it a shit-ton so far this year and still think it's one of the best records i've heard in some time.

Re: Only One Record
 

Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase

Re: Only One Record
 

ooh yes. so far, that'd be my choice also. and i haven't even seen her live yet.

Re: Only One Record
 

I saw her at Lowlands and I didn't know anything of her music, but was expecting a Moloko kind of dancey thing. Well, it wasn't really :p So I wasn't too impressed. I do think that if you know her music, it's enjoyable, she puts on a nice show anyway.

Idiot.

What kind of lazy fucking dimwit complains about having to write more than 10 letters in a post? Oh, probably one that'd pick underworlds new album as this years best. The rules are there to deter retards like you from posting.
