Best Tracks of 2005
It's been ages and ages since I updated my LJ, but since it's December I thought it appropriate that I do my customary list of the best tracks of 2005. Don't have time to do any commentary right now, so it's just a list. The order of the tracks is based on my iPod's play count - I am assuming that the more I play a track the more I like it! This list is a bit different from other years - it's made up of all tracks I listened to and liked in 2005 - they were not neccessaryily released in 2005. This means there is some old stuff spread throughout the list.
