Also, Rumba, one of Finland's two main rock magazines, had their staff vote some time ago, and I'll put it here when I'll manage. Here's their top five, though:
1. Mew: And the Glass Handed Kites
2. Arcade Fire: The Funeral
3. Anthony & The Johnsons: I am a bird now
4. System of a Down: Mezmerize
5. Sigur Rós: Takk...
I actually didn't listen to too much Finnish music during 2005. The Tuomari Nurmio album, YUP album and Absoluuttinen Nollapiste album are on my to-buy list, and I own Kuha's Telekineettinen Testilaboratorio (a signed copy, no less), but I haven't heard enough of the others to give a good opinion.
