Year-end charts are everywhere right now and, if you have been keeping up on such lists, you might have noticed that many are virtually the same. Now, I'm not arguing with the top choices of 2005. I love Spoon's Gimme Fiction, Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have it So Much Better and Ladytron's Witching Hour. However, I wonder if there are some releases that have been overlooked by the critics and bloggers at large. Did the hype surrounding Fischerspooner in previous years morph into less of a backlash and more of a plain old apathetic reception of Odyssey? Does Depeche Mode just not matter to anyone outside of Depeche Mode fans? Were Constantines simply overshadowed by tourmates Hold Steady and labelmates Wolf Parade? Is Gomma's catalogue just too hard to track down in the States for anyone to care?
I don't have the answers to these questions. Maybe you do. Then again, maybe you don't. Regardless, I ask that you post the albums, singles, record labels, etc. that you think were overlooked this year in the comments section.
