Hooray for Anniemal's first placement on an end of year list!

The fact the have The White Stripes and Franz Ferdinand in their top 10 makes me laugh. What a joke. And I hate Arcade Fire too.

Thx for posting the full list Mitchell

Well, i think the Arcade Fire album is pretty amazing ! & looks like it's just gonna shoot up the AM all time list...good for them !

# 39 for The Go Betweens' 'Oceans Apart' is too low though & is 'A Bigger Bang' really the 6th best album of 2005 ?...will be interesting to see how it fares on the other EOY lists.

"Anniemal" was on a number of Norwegian end-of-year lists last year, several of them part of Henrik's database.
