前言:台長花了些時間硬ㄠ樂評人小樹,要他提供本次選單一半以上的年終榜榜單,後面幾個榜才是本人花時間做的,在此感謝小樹先生。
今年突出的藝人很明顯就那幾個團或藝人,好評不斷的Arcade Fire 儼然成為各家之最,不管哪類型的榜,幾乎不會錯過他,有點讓我想到2000年的Godspeed You Black Emperor!。嘻哈重將Kanye West 也絕對是榜上必列人物,他所代領的嘻哈勢力已是顯學中的顯學。
Franz Ferdinand 的復古搖滾風仍在箭頭上,四處射人皆中招,該團活力旺盛,第一張和本張都是活力驚人,相信第三張會更難產。龐克樂團The White Stripes一如往常攻佔各大年終榜,平心而論,這真是本人頭一張能細聽他們的專輯沒有中徒按暫停。女性歌手部份應屬M.I.A. 鋒頭最健,只是封面怎會這麼醜。對不起,我的意見很不專業。
其實各榜交叉對照下,另類鄉謠、室內樂、Lo-fi藝人Sufjan Stevens 近三年專輯爆受好評,新專輯「Illinois」更受好評到最高點,優美的室內樂與複雜而具創意的編曲實著驚豔。專輯長度又夠,足以讓你種完竽頭兼洗澡後泡澡再刷牙都還在唱,讚吧。
以下為本人年終榜選單,同樣老話一句,聽得永遠不夠多,但已是在能聽的範圍(好歹有三千張左右)極力選出10張。也許等我有力氣我會再分電影原聲帶及歌曲篇,總之,前兩張超好聽,誠品都買得到。第三張誠品晚一點會進,台長是在日本買的,光第一首就好聽到爆淚,飆速的龐克樂加上詩意鋼琴與磅礡和聲,還有什麼曲子能比這樣的組合更正呢?這是一張聽了之後會腎上腺不小心瞬間飛奔的專輯。
我會選Caribou是因為他真的每一張專輯都做不同Tone的作品,這張命名為Tour CD的專輯首曲就混老歌與電子沉拍,讓我欣喜若狂。德國前衛音樂家Hauschka適合各個時段聆聽而心神氣爽,其實他的鋼琴相當有力道,讓我聯想到本人愛團「The Rachael’s」,因此進入本人榜單。挪威舞曲雙人組Royskopp經幾番考量下才收進,一方面是他們似乎沒有當年「晨間旋律」的駭人氣勢,但我覺得這張High歌連連,超High歌「Only This Moment」保證讓人甩去肩上的憂傷。本來還要選Kanye West ,但最後為了保留一點2002年美麗的冬日回憶,我改選Richard Hawley。
乖寶牌2005年音樂類年終榜單,

順道一提,World Standard其實有出一張「Alabaster」的專輯,奈何後來廠牌沒發片,台長意外聽到,好聽至極,請密切注意World Standard的動態,喜歡細美鋼琴與弦樂的樂迷可別錯過。
※NME (英式搖滾為主,據悉該本雜誌冠軍應是Arcade Fire (加拿大團),因他們不想把冠軍給一個非英國團,這消息真是扯。但也證明NME除了吹捧樂團於至誇形容詞功力一把罩之外,連搞陰謀論也不遑多讓。)
