| PopMatters Feature | PopMatters Picks: The Best Music of 2005 | Introduction |
 | | There were collaborations (DJ Danger Mouse and MF Doom as Dangerdoom, for instance) fit for a music geek's wet dream and one band in particular, LCD Soundsystem, that was a danceable manifestation of music snobbery. |
 | | Surrounded by all this familiar upheaval of possibility, PopMatters' music staff was smitten by an eclectic array of releases, including albums by a Sri Lankan civil war refugee, a songwriter with a penchant for whistling and pizzicato violin, a man with a hauntingly sexless voice, and an ambitious optimist with a fetish for state histories. |
 | | Beyond that, they're proof that 2005 happened, that we were here, that we sifted through the good and bad, the remarkable and decidedly less so, and wished to present our definitive findings to the equally curious and hungry. |
