I’ve just realized that I left out some note-worthy albums like The B.Coming, DangerDoom, Chain Letters ,and True and Livin’ (one of the reasons I hate lists like these). But, hey I get a second chance next week.

So, tell me, What are your Top 5 albums of 2005? I’ll gather your answers to create a T.R.U. Album of the Year post sometime next week.
