2005 Best Of Lists

Last year, Information Leafblower polled some of the music blogs out there, and came up with a top-40 list of the years best music.  That list was invaluable to me, exposing me more new and great music than I could handle.  The 2005 list is out.  The top five are:

1. Sufjan Stevens
2. The National
3. Kanye West
4. LCD Soundsystem
5. Sleater-Kinney

Like last year, many of them come with links to find mp3's of the artists.  A really great list.

Amazon has also put out their top 100, and the top 5 there are:

1. Sufjan Stevens
2. M.I.A.
3. New Pornographers
4. My Morning Jacket
5. Amadou & Mirriam

Both lists have some interesting names.
