The year's coming to an end, what's your top five finds for 2005?

New or old releases.

All recommendations are welcome.

Here's my five:

Mulgrew Miller- Live at Yoshi's Vol.2
Branford Marsalis- Eternal
Frank Jackson- New York after Dark
Marian McPartland - 85 Candles

I thought 2005 was a slow year for new releases and ended up buying mostly older music. That said:

1 EELS - Blinking Lights. (Easily the best I heard this year.)
2 Richard Thompson - Front Parlour Ballads
3 Bright Eyes - Wide Awake
4 Brendan Benson - Alternative To Love
5 Fire Marshals of Bethlehem - Songs for Housework (The return of John Coslin, formerly of The Reivers)

Also: Bill LLoyd & Jamie Hoover, Bonnie Raitt, Green Day, U2, Bob Mould, White Stripes,John Legend, Jim Boggia, Jackson Browne
