Those who know me know that I love music. I wanted to do a “top 10 albums of 2005″ type of thing but then I realized that I rarely consume music through the traditional album format. This is probably true of my entire generation and will only increasingly become the case. Downloads, mix cds, playlists, mp3 players have all killed the album format.

Most of the songs that make my top 10 of ’05 come from albums that would probably be strong enough to make an album list, but that’s on the strength of their independent songs, instead of their ‘albumness’. From now until the new year I’ll compile the list of my 10 favourite songs of the year. While most are from 2005, I didn’t limit the options to music that was released this year.

I’ll compile the list, one song per post, and then I’ll have a final post attempting to put them in order from 10th favourite to most favourite.

Let’s see how this goes.
