This was 2005 - our Top-5's

Details
Written by: Reflections of Darkness
It's the end of our first year, we have published many articles and reviewed many bands. The least we could do is have a quick look back and see what moved us most in 2005. There's no clear winner in the concert department but with the albums there seems to be one big winner for 2005: Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel.

Let's hope we'll all enjoy at least one of the shows of the band when they are doing their 2006 European Tour and they might end up leading our 2006 concerts list.

Please read the rest of the articles of some of our crew members' personal top-5's
