2005 in music. • Page 7

I had a sick Adidas Track Jacket in 2008

 

What about those Puma sneakers that kind of look like soccer cleats. That was more 02, 03 too though I think. I had orange ones. Hideous

In 05 I probably wore half laced dunk highs

 

I could have put the Team Sleep album in honourable mentions. I only didn't because I think the demo material they'd written a few years earlier was a better and more interesting direction than the label-influenced sound of the official album. Nevertheless there are some beautiful tracks on there.

 

I think all of our fashion choices from 1998-2005 are questionable at this point

 

I also wore a lot of jeans, shirts and hoodies from skate brands. Those kind of hold up. They have always looked more or less the same and still do

 

Skate Brands will never die and always be "in" IMO

 

Make Believe, to me, is the lowest of the low in terms of a 3 album low run by Weezer. Following that up with Red and then Raditude really tested a lot of people's patience.

 

1. 30 Seconds to Mars- A Beautiful Lie
2. Panic! at the Disco- A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out
3. Nine Inch Nails- With Teeth

 

Make Believe blows, Green rules

 

It's not Blue or Pinkerton but Green is a really good summer album.

How come I don’t see Be more? Literally one of the best rap albums of all time

 

I forgot it came out this year actually. Not top 3 but should be mentioned

 

Totally missed Welcome To Jamrock came out this year. Great album!

 

WHOA another forgotten one for me!

Honorable Mentions for sure - perhaps top 30.

*Rushes to add it to my playlist*

 

Alright Chris - what's the story on Averi? - definitely a blind spot.

RIYL?

 

Good band good album. This song rules

 

Yep!

 

Fun fact, I've actually gone to a Dream Theater show. Not really my kind of music, but they put on one hell of a show. My brother who is turning 27 this year was obsessed with them like 10 years ago.

 

And everyone seems to have Mae on their lists one way or another. I should go dive into them. Only reason I even know this band is because their song "Jet Let Go" was put onto a mix CD made by someone I dated from AP.net a zillion years ago.

 

Please do and just start with the '05 album, The Everglow. Listened to the whole thing this morning and have been in a great mood all day.
