Best of 2005: Albums

These are some of the best albums of the year. Some are critically acclaimed, some not so much. There were tons of albums that were great this year, I hear of a new one I want to listen to almost weekly. Its hard to keep up, but here are some that stood out for one reason or another. I'm sure there are a few others that really belong here and might be added later so check back.
