3. Ladytron - International Dateline

"The Witching Hour" was one of my top 5 albums on another music challenge a few years ago. On of two from 2005 that made the cut. The other one will come up in a couple days.

The National - Lit Up

There are 5 2005 albums that I could have probably filled a top 20 with, "Alligator" being one of them. I decided I'd only use one song from any album.

If you asked my favorite bands Doves wouldn't be top of mind, but man, I've loved them forever.

1. Gorillaz - Dare

While Shaun Ryder wonders about with this demented vocal, Damon gets funky and takes this to No.1. This song is a whole load of fun!!

I heard this described as Donna Summer meets Curtis Mayfield meets Sparks - definitely getting on board with that!

Crawl Down The Wall | Editors

The Back Room was an album of numerous highs but my number one spot goes to one of the b-sides of the Munich single. It still remains my favourite Editors song to this day.

Thanks @musiccountdownguy.bsky.social
