    I think Anto is a terrible bastardization of the name Anthony. If that was my name, I'd probably glass someone who called me Anto.

    How about if they called you "Ant"?

    That would bring unwanted comparison to Ant & Dec... Overall Anthony would be a pretty god-awful name to have, so I'm glad I've such a classy name.

    No, he's not up for that kind of thing.

    I think any "Best" thread is inherently spammy.

    But 2005 has been a good year for albums. The new Nevermore, Atheist re-issues, and so forth.

    The Athiest re-issue hardly count as new :v:

    There were a few nuggets but on a wider scale it was fairly poor, I felt.

    Yeah, they count, they were released this year. I suppose I had a good year for albums so I'm fairly happy, a lot of it was older stuff though.

    I didn't really 'love' any albums this year. Just got hhypnotize there a day or two ago and that is pleasant I guess.

    They were released years ago, they were just repackaged this year. They don't reflect the standard of new music introduced this year. In fact, the amount of re-releases might show poorly upon the standard of new releases.

    I think it's terrible that you call him Anthony when it's actually Antony and the Johnsons:p

    I haven't heard enough of this years albums but I must say I'm very impressed with Antony and the Johnsons release this year. Enya's new album is quite impressive too and of course Ryan Adams and the Cardinals have released two impressive albums. Devils and Dust by Springsteen, Stand Up by Dave Matthews Band. Can't choose one though:o

    Decemberists - 'Picaresque'

    Sure it got overplayed (can barely stand listening to it now), but I haven't heard many albums ever that held my attention for 3 straight months of listening. And while there's been other albums I loved over the year and right now, I'd still have to put Picaresque as the #1 for that reason.

    65daysofstatic's 'One Time For All Time' is a close second though.
