Best Music 2005 - Brian Anderson

Only a few albums this year, I've been using iTunes Germany mostly.

Albums
Röyksopp - The Understanding
2Raum Wohnung - Melancholisch Schön
Beck - Guero

Songs
Seeed - "Aufstehn!"
The White Stripes - "My Doorbell"
Kanye West - "Gold Digger"
Fettes Brot - "An Tagen wie diesen"

But the most remarkable thing about German radio is how many gimmicky covers and remakes there are. Here is some of the worst, weirdest stuff I've heard this year:

The BossHoss - Internashville Urban Hymns
( Berlin band doing redneck covers of urban music : "Hey Ya!", "Word Up", "Hot in Herre" )
Fler - "Neue Deutsche Welle"
(samples Falco's "Rock me Amadeus")
DJ Tomekk - "Jump,Jump"
( remake of Kriss Kross )
Alcazar - "This Is the World We Live In"
( Swedish disco remake of Genesis )
Die Firma - "Die Eine"
( repetitive German rap over Pachelbel's Canon )
