Everything 2005

Last night I decided to watch Channel V's "Top 50 Biggest Hits of 2005" music countdown and it was quite interesting as it played a number of songs which I had completely forgot about, such as "La La" by Ashlee Simpson and "Don't Lie" by the Black-Eyed Peas. It was pretty good actually. There were a few stinkers played during the countdown of course (*cough "My Humps", "Welcome to my Life"), but those few songs aside, listening to this countdown really emphasised the extent to which music has changed over the past 15 years. Rock was still huge back in 2005. In fact, all of the songs played between #49 - #41 in the countdown were rock songs.  

Anyhow, watching that countdown has gave me the idea to create a thread where we can share/talk about things that were released in 2005. This is basically like a "2005 Appreciation Thread". I've been feeling particularly nostalgic for 2005 lately as Saturday last week was 15 years to the day that I started kindergarten and the fact that 2005 in general is now 15 years ago is something that is still hard to fathom. I've never liked the Mid 2000s as a cultural era, but I was 6 years old in 2005; I would be lying if I said that I didn't have a lot of nostalgia for it.

So please, feel free to talk about anything relating to 2005, whether it be songs you like from that year, your memories of it, just anything that comes to mind!
