2005 is very weak at the top but has decent depth. The two Akron/Family albums were solid discoveries that received no attention from the other voters. I could easily see Sufjan being overtaken as my number 1 in the future, but multiple re-listens to Illinois reminded me why this album is so universally loved.

Probably the weakest songs year of the 2000s. I had never noticed how good "They Are Night Zombies" was prior to this month, so thanks to those who voted for it for bringing my attention to it.
I have summed the points and have results ready for release. I start the 2006 poll -thread and send the results after that. So you have couble of minutes time to vote.
The year of Sufjan and Illinois. In albums the gap between #1 and #2 is one of the biggest in our album poll history. Also I don't remember that any other artist has taken three first places in the song list. 11 different Sufjan songs got points.

Great list again, boys. I would like to see some of my favourites higher (“Coles Corner”, “Dimanche à Bamako”, “Hung Up”, “16 Military Wives”), just like anybody else I guess. But I can’t complain at all, my #1 album and song were also the overall #1.
The song results are actually pretty satisfying in a year lacking big singles, particularly "Gone" edging out "Gold Digger." Wish I had put Lindstrom a couple places higher so "I Feel Space" would have beat out Depeche Mode.
But now The Decemberists are out.
I just discovered a fabulous album of 2005 by the band Washington. The album is "A New Order Rising" and all the songs are somptuous.
