This is too packed a year for me to give From Under the Cork Tree a top 3 vote, but I think it’s worth some discussion. Pretty easy top 5 pop punk album of all time in my opinion, it’s just about perfect.
As I was going through the wiki list of album release dates, I was literally remembering in my head which Best Buy or Target I walked into to purchase each one of those CDs as they came out.... fuckin nostalgia is a powerful thing lol I also bought my first car in June of 2005 - with a 6 CD changer. I was so pumped to load that bad boy up.
Such a loaded year for music. 1. Minus the bear - menos el oso 2. Jacks mannequin - EIT 3. Kanye - Late Registration 4. Cartel - Chroma 5. Mae - Everglow 3-5 were impossibly hard to rank. My next 5 probably make the top 3 in every subsequent year too.
