I'm the late one this year, so I'm gonna give you the quick version of my 2005 BEST OF. As per the last few years, I have picked a #1 Best Of for the year and then everything after is in the usual no particular order. I've no doubt I've missed a bit here, but I have been thinking about this a bit, so here goes:
ALBUM:
1. DOVES "Some Cities" (this one creeped up on me as the year progressed to be my album of the year)
2. LEANDRO FRESCO "Luz Sin Calor"
3. DK7 "Dismantled"
4. OASIS "Don't Believe The Truth"
5. HALLOWEEN ALASKA "Too Tall To Hide"
6. NEW ORDER "Waiting For The Sirens Call"
7. GREG DULLI's "Amber Headlights"
8. REVENGE "LIVE: NO PAIN NO GAIN"
9. JOHN CALE "Black Acetate"
10. FLAVIUS E "Conjunction"
11. MIA "Arular"
12. IAN BROWN "The Greatest
13. COLDER "Heat"
14. The Best of 16 VOLT
15. DEPECHE MODE: Playing The Angel
The Most Anticpated Records of 2006: Razorlight, Chemlab remixes, Cerati, Morrissey, Muse, aggression remixes, and of course, what I hope wil be called KASABIAN 2. Also, if the Roken album actually sees the light of day in 2006, I will personally buy it for Brandt. EDIT: G rightly points out that also on the anticipated list are new albums from Richard Ashcroft (which I actually heard most of and why I didn't put it here) and of course the Twilight Singers...

trendt didn't get a nod for his fitness at hammerstein, either?
Sadly, Matt, when prepping my list (which entails me going through the past year's posts) i realized that the NIN gig made less of an impact on me than the ones listed. I'm sure I would have had a better opinion had we seen them at MSG, which I sorta regretted not going to but not really.
