What a year. Jesus, what the hell happened to 2005? Half the world got blown away by hurricanes. The situation in Iraq continues to get more and more fucked up, and more people seem to be recognizing this fact. Gas prices shot up to three bucks a gallon. Hunter S. Thompson killed himself. Seriously, what the fuck was going on?
Never mind all that nonsense for a minute though, because there were a lot of good records released in 2005. And lots of interesting stuff happened in the music industry.
If you’ve been reading Glorious Noise for a while, you’ll remember that we don’t get too uptight about our end of the year lists. This is just stuff that has moved us this year. Just like every other list, it is what it is. Make up your own mind about what sounded good this year and be sure to add a comment if we missed anything!
