Explore the iconic albums of 2005 that shaped music history and still resonate today
London: Ah, 2005! What a year for music, right? It feels like yesterday when we were jamming to some of the best albums ever. Nostalgia is a funny thing; it makes us look back and think, “Wow, those were the days!”
These days, it seems like everyone is diving into the past. Best-of albums are flying off the shelves, and even radio stations are all about those classic hits. Vinyl is making a comeback, and new music often samples the old stuff. It’s like we can’t get enough of the tunes that shaped our youth.
Remember when Sophie Ellis-Bextor rang in the New Year with her early 2000s hits? It was a blast! And let’s not forget that Oasis is back in the mix. It’s like a musical time machine, and we’re all aboard.
But hey, maybe we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves for loving the past. With so many small venues closing, it feels like becoming a celebrity boxer might be a more reliable way to make it in music these days. Crazy, right?
Emerald Fennell’s film “Saltburn” might not have been a love letter to mid-2000s Britain, but it sure got people talking. The soundtrack is packed with artists who are making waves again. Bloc Party rocked Glastonbury, and Tomcraft’s “Loneliness” is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Sure, not every album from 2005 was a classic. I mean, do you even remember Antony and the Johnsons’ “I Am a Bird Now”? But there are definitely some gems worth revisiting.
So, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and check out the albums that still deserve a spin, along with a few that might be better left in the past.
