I'm going to have to agree with Slack About 2005. I feel it was a great year for music. Brit Daniels proved again that Spoon is one of the top up and coming Bands. With bands like Supergrass and BRMC taking a different direction with the albums, they proved to many that there is more to the musical abilities. Again OASIS released another great album if it weren't for the first three songs it may have been my number one. But the biggest surprise for me was that most of the bands that made the list are on their first or second albums. Which can mean two things, we're destined for a lot of great albums to come from these bands, or there's nowhere but down for most of these bands. The biggest disappointments of the year for me had to be Coldplay and Weezer (Rivers may need to go back to college to learn how to write songs again. What the Hell happened there.)
