2005 was a poor year for music
Guess the year on Gem 106 was 2005 the other day. What a poor year! The only half decent song played was Simon Webbe no worries. Also it had James Blunt You're Beautiful
One of the worst years for music |

Wasn't that bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coxASXXTGhY https://youtu.be/BqS3lkcCn1s?t=3m2s Some great tunes in those 2. And much better than the sh*t we've endured since 2011. Gwen Stefani's Cool was an under rated gem from this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGwZ7MNtBFU |

I particularly liked 2005 for the long hot summer for music. The only subsequent year that has lived up to 2005 is 2013. I shall list the songs I liked best from 2005 on Sunday.

Gem 106 ? It's radio for bored housewives !
2005 was okay... but 2006 was fantastic. Lots of 'men' tunes !! |

I thought I could surely find a few to contradict that, but it looks as if the OP was correct. Even the best albums in this list were decidedly average.

Absolutely not.
Oh wait I forgot this forum turns its nose up on black genres and only regards rock music by white males as the only acceptable 'respectable' kind of music. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill...ingles_of_2005 the top five alone is better than any song released from the 60s-80s and the rock trash you all listen to. |

2005 was when I got into DnB and there was a LOT of quality DnB about, so I disagree with you, OP.

As for black music genres. I find it sad what has become of "so called" R&B. It was one of the most exciting genres between the 50's and 80's but now most of it is unlistenable dirge. |

I liked 2005. I remember Mariah dominating that year, and the continuation of Gwen Stefani's LAMB era.
I was never apart of the James Blunt mania, but then it's no different to what we have seen with the likes of Amy, Duffy, Adele, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran or Emeli Sande since. |

As for the year itself, i'm currently on my work laptop so only have a small selection of music downloaded on to it, however for 2005 I've got... The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute Katatonia - Black Sessions Kate Bush - Aerial Avenged Sevenfold - City Of Evil Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Kasabian - Kasabian Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World Sons & Daughters - The Repulsion Box Nightwish - Once Within Temptation - The Silent force Plus many more so no, I disagree with the OP, 2005 wasn't a bad year for music at all! |

I thought it was a pretty good year.
Standouts such as: Breakaway (Kelly Clarkson) Push The Button (Sugababes) Don't Cha (Pussycat Dolls) Hollaback Girl (Gwen Stefani) Your Beautiful (James Blunt) Gold Digger (Kanye West) It's probably because there was such a mix in genre that people often forget about, there was also no particular band or singer other than James Blunt who stood out that year. |

I disagree, some great albums were released in 2005 by Sugababes, Girls Aloud, Kelly Clarkson and Madonna.

For me, I agree - Kelly Clarkson was the best thing to come out of 2005

.... 05 didnt have a 'long hot summer', that was 03, but were you meaning figuratively ?
funny, i didnt notice mariahs presence at all. i guess it depends upon who you chose to notice. 05 wasnt a bad year, imho all the subsequent years have been worse overall (but with some gems). gorillaz - feel good inc mars volta - the widow juliet - avalon reflekt - need to feel love kiaser chiefs - oh my god HIm - wings of a butterfly ![]() However Mariah was slaying the music scene in 2005, in terms of sales and chart positions. |

Oh wait, this is a pop music orientated music forum to it isn't a forum that "rock music by white males as the only acceptable 'respectable' kind of music" at all. In fact I would say a large percentage on this forum don't like rock music at all, but don't let that minor inconvenience bother you.

I loved 2005, it was probably my favourite year for pop music. Some great albums from Girls Aloud, Rachel Stevens, Sugababes, Kelly Clarkson and Pussycat Dolls. And Robyn as well (although I didn't hear that album until it's UK release in 2007).

One of the defining songs of 2005 for me is Amerie's "One Thing"
It was everywhere during the summer of that year. |
