i know its almost 8 years ago, but i particularly loved this year of great music.☼
destiny fulfilled - destiny's child
the emancipation of mimi - mariah carey
are my favourite albums of the year! remember jamming to these albums ♪♫
so what are your favourite albums of 2005?

Madonna's Confessions. It got me into more-abstract dance music.

Here's a few I remember:

Rachel Stevens - Come And Get It
Atomic Kitten - The Collection
The Pussycat Dolls - PCD
Liberty X - X
Sugababes - Taller In More Ways (some of my favourite 'Babes singles were from that album)

I was also going to suggest Britney's In The Zone but I think that came out in 2003/2004. B In The Mix came out in 2005 though but I didn't buy it.

yeah in the zone was 04

Kanye West's Late Registration, The Game's The Documentary and Mariah Carey's The Emancipation of Mimi. They're the ones that immediately spring to mind, but in general from what I remember 2005 was a good year for music.

late registration ! how can i forget
loved golddigger

Madonna - Confessions on a Dancefloor

2005 was an amazing year for music, its just beaten by 2007 as my favourite year ever.

My favourite 2005 albums are:

Girls Aloud - Chemistry
Rachel Stevens - Come And Get It
Sugababes - Taller In More Ways
Pussycat Dolls - PCD
Robyn - Robyn

And I also like:

M.I.A. - Arular
Jennifer Lopez - Rebirth
Goldfrapp - Supernature
t.A.T.u. - Dangerous and Moving
Madonna - Confessions On A Dancefloor
Roisin Murphy - Ruby Blue

2005's highlights for me were

The Emancipation of Mimi
Breakaway
PCD
Taller in more ways

LAMB was an 04 album but it actually saw bigger success over here in 05 and i enjoyed it very much.
Still remains one of my all time favs

Probably either
Funerals by Arcade Fire
Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Or
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning by Bright Eyes
Or
Illnoise by Sufjan Stevens.

agree Gwen needs to release a new album

PCD.
Gwen Stefani
Madonna.

The Emancipation of Mimi, without a doubt.

She's retired sadly
But No doubt are back next year

Madonna - Confessions
Pussycat Dolls - PCD

Did Nelly Furtado release Loose in 2005?

I second all of those choices. Would also add...

Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze
Kate Bush - Aerial
Ben Folds - Songs For Silverman

Songs For Silverman!
There's a program on BBC Three just now about weddings that had Landed playing while the couple were getting wed. I'm guessing they just liked the piano and hadn't paid attention to the words.

PCD - PCD
Sugababes - Taller in more ways

I didnt like much that year.

It is a great song but wedding? Blimey.

no 2006 i think

Chemistry was arguably Girls Aloud's best album and it was a concept album which made it unique for girlbands, it really showed how they matured their sound and brought it to another level. One of my favourite albums of all time.

OP should retitle this the best "pop" albums of 2005, Jesus!

Yeah. Odd choice.
They must be the sort of folk who would play the Police Every Breath You Take at a wedding too.

I love Late. The Elliott Smith tribute that could have been about anyone except for the one line where he talks about Elliott playing basketball.

Yeah I was thinking the same, not a lot that has been mentioned would ever make my list. But that's the beauty of music I suppose, each to their own.

Totally agree. Works on both levels, whether you knew of Elliott Smith or not.
