Mr Red Penguin's Top 20 Albums of 2005

Man of few words today. Most of the comments about why I like the albums can be found in the blurb on the corresponding singles.

One thing I did notice though - my favourite album of 2004 was probably Keane's Hopes and Fears. If it came out in 2005, I would put it somewhere around no 15 on the list below - so was this a fantastic year for albums? Was 2004 a very poor year? Or did I just go nuts and choose a bit of a fruity one?
