Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So, with the year half over, I figured now would be a good time to give my top ten albums of the year so far. This is good a medium as any, and I've been meaning to make a long journal entry here. =D My list is very subject to change at any given moment, especially as I hear more albums from this year, but here it is right now, at 2005's halfway point-

10. Hot Hot Heat- 'Elevator'


9. The Impossible Shapes- 'Horus'


8. Deerhoof- 'Green Cosmos' EP


7. Xiu Xiu- 'La Foret'


6. The Cloud Room- 'The Cloud Room'


5. The White Stripes- 'Get Behind Me Satan'


4. Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band- 'Horses in the Sky'


3. Okkervil River- 'Black Sheep Boy'


2. Bright Eyes- 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning'


1. Sufjan Stevens- 'Illinois'


Couldn't find all the covers on Allmusic, so that's why some are smaller. sweatdrop And for those that I've heard via leak, I am going to be purchasing to support that artist's wonderful album, once it comes out of course. 3nodding
