I know it's not "alternative" but Takk - Sigur Ros.

Really? I found them both quite dissapointing.

Funeral-Arcade Fire

Of course.

White Stripes, if they are indeed indie.

Eels - Blinking Lights & Other Revelations

Oasis- Don't Believe The Truth

Need to check out The Woods.

Probably Illinois or Takk.

Funeral came out in 2004.

It was released in the UK in 2005, so I'm pretty sure that's why peopl...

I can only hope.

Because it was released in 2004, or because it's sub-par?

Both.

Oh.

Open Hand's and Idiot Pilot's debuts.

Frances the Mute or Guero I can't decide.

Frances The Mute was probably my least favourite release of '05.

"Alternative" is such a vague term.

I'm burnt out on everything I own from 2005, so I can't really say tha...

Ditto, that's high on my list.

Lullabies isnt what I'd call alternative, but it rocks.

Same here.

empty post

Somehow I don't feel the urge to check out Trail Of Deads new album.

bloc party is good, but its basically gang of four all over again (tha...

Jesus hell!

As I was trying to say, don't say stupid things.

The new QOTSA is probably the best thing.

Elitism in alt/indie? Delicious

I've gotta say I have a real soft spot for Employment.

with teeth-NIN frances the mute-mars volta out of exile-audioslave

Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team.

Also an 04 album.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (last year, it was Funeral)

The Drones.

I don't understand the fuss about The Arcade Fire.

I find them a good, slightly original band.

The Arcade Fire - Funeral The Magic Numbers - S/T /predictable

Terrorhawk by Bear Vs Shark, great album.

Bear vs Shark are fantastic on record, but I saw them live last month.

art brut's album is the ****.

Our Lady Peace - Healthy In Paranoid Times

1.

Miocene - A Perfect Life With a View of the Swamp So far.

I like the album quite a bit, but it's not a list topper.

Into the Woods by Malcolm Middleton

It's OK but I like Pig Lib more.

Pig Lib was worse.

Funeral, Arcade Fire.

I think Malkmus' self-titled was missing the jangly diversions and uns...

World's Apart - Trail of Dead Not as good as Source Tags, especially...

Frances The Mute - The Mars Volta Don't Believe The Truth - Oasis

That's what I'm sayin.

Picaresque and No Wow, but there have been a lot of good ones.

Wow am i glad i didn't listen to you and go and buy that cd.

I don't know if this is 2005 but I'd say: Interpol - [i]Antics

It's not.

2004?

I think so.

Frances.

I used to know a Frances.

Terrorhawk- Bear Vs.

The first song on With Teeth is really something.

Too bad the album isn't.

One of my favourites this year as well.

someone should start a discussion thread on them, they're really good

Gospel, or the other one?

American Idiot was 2004.

and not alt/indie

So far it's still Feathers for me.

'Arcade Fire - Funeral' for me.

2004, buddy.

Both

I think it's still Ryan Adams' Cold Roses for me.

Frances the Mute, Catch Without Arms, Deadwing, in that order.

There's actually a thread on Gospel in R&M already.

Broken Social Scene's self-titled album takes the cake in my opinion, ...

White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
