Best of 2005
23 Jan 2006
Somewhat belatedly, I've put together a 2005 top 50 for my first ever journal post. Now this isn't your typical yearly chart; as my listening habits don't follow strict year boundaries, I decided to make a top 50 of the music I discovered in 2005 rather than music that was released during the year. Seems to make more sense somehow. OK, on with it.
