2005, Best ofs

I wanted to get a quickie in before the end of the year, what better way than to plop down a few best-of lists. The music one is legit, the others are more off-the-top-of-head.

Music
. Yes, this is the playlist on the CD.
  1. All These Things That I've Done - The Killers - say no more
  2. Talk - coldplay - great buzz gig
  3. Hard to Beat - Hard-Fi - seeing them at Horseshoe Tavern in January, album of the year
  4. Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire - Montreal eclectic talent
  5. Do You Want To - Franz Ferdinand - cheeky lads
  6. Tiny Little Fractures - Snow Patrol - a little older album that just snuck in
  7. Oh My God - Kaiser Chiefs - great performance at Live8
  8. LSF(Lost Souls Forever) - Kasabian - Midlands lads with Manchester sounds
  9. All Because of You - U2 - biggest band in the world ?
  10. Better Now - Collective Soul - solid rock, Bowie or Iggy soundalike ?
  11. Galvanize - The Chemical Brothers - what's that damn sample ?
  12. Guilt Is A Useless Emotion - New Order - old geezers that can still put a good dance track together
  13. Dare - Gorillaz - groovy baby
  14. Forbidden Love - Madonna - alt track to big hit, great dance album
  15. 24 - Jem - a diamond in the rough
  16. Don`t Lie - Black Eyed Peas - a good dose of hip hop
  17. Gold Digger (Feat. Jamie Foxx) - Kanye West - great hip hop, great sample, dodgy explicit lyrics
  18. Other Side Of The World K.T. Tunstall - lovely Scottish lass who took the time to sign a CD cover for me "To Phil, love K.T." - you betcha
  19. Folsom Prison Blues Joaquin Phoenix - I became an instant Johnny Cash fan after seeing Walk the Line a few weeks ago and Joaquin does a stellar job
