Let’s discuss any and all music here. Got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.
This week’s discussion prompt: Any and all music stuff related to the year 2005!
Some topics to get you started:
- What are some of your favorite songs or albums from 2005?
- What were you listening to in 2005? Is it in any way similar to the music you listen to now? Is there anything you listened to back then that you’re a bit embarrassed by now? Or, is there anything you disliked then that you enjoy hearing now?
- For those of you who are too young to remember 2005 (or weren’t even born yet) feel free to tell us: what, musically, does 2005 mean to you?
And since 2005 was a long time ago, in case you need a reminder of what happened in music that year:
Billboard Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 2005
Top 50 Albums of 2005 (Pitchfork)
Best Albums of 2005 (Rate Your Music)
And of course, as you may remember some of us posted our very own lists of our favorite albums from 2005 for the now concluded feature Albums by the Year right here at The Avocado, so it might be worth taking a look to see some of the favorites of your fellow Musicados (as well as to remind yourself which albums you declared to be your favorites way back in April of 2020).1It appears that particular thread went up on April 20th of that year, so if your list has any egregious omissions, just blame it on the bud!
Even if you don’t feel like waxing nostalgic, as always any and all music-related topics are welcome. Have fun, and rock out with yr guac out!
