Q Magazine Best Albums 2005

Here's Q Magazine's top 20 albums of 2005:

1 Coldplay - X&Y
2 Gorillaz - Demon Days
3 Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
4 Oasis - Don't Believe The Truth
5 Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
6 James Blunt - Back To Bedlam
7 Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better
8 Arcade Fire - Funeral
9 KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope
10 Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV
11 Goldfrapp - Supernature
12 Kanye West - Late Registration
13 The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
14 The Magic Numbers - The Magic Numbers
15 Antony & The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now
16 Neil Young - Prairie Wind
17 Paul Weller - As Is Now
18 Jem - Finally Woken
19 Eels - Blinking Lights And Other Revelations
20 Bruce Springsteen - Devils & Dust

Q Magazine's albums list is my favorite each year. No surprise that Coldplay tops the list. X&Y was one of two albums reviewed by Q this year that got five star (the other was Bright Eyes at #5). Hard-Fi at #10 is a bit of a surprise. Goldfrapp at #11 is much higher than how Black Cherry ranked in 2003. I'm surprised Jem is so high, but Q gave it a high rating when it came out.

James Blunt is good. Although if you think Coldplay is boring, I can't imagine you'd like his album, since it's similar, but not as interesting. He's a good singer though. I really like the album.
