Record of the Year Revisited: 2005

Original Record of the Year: Mylo - In My Arms

I've always seen 2005 as the year that music died. I tested that theory for a series of posts and found there were perhaps too many good songs in the charts but at the same time I think it's the first year in my lifetime there are less than 100 Top 40 hits that I like.

Realistically not all songs I like are going to be contenders. For example "Wooden Heart" by Elvis Presley is a song I like and if it charted today it may be record of the year for this year. In 2005 though it doesn't have a chance.

The one I picked is one I really really like and would stand a good chance of being the record of the year in other years to. It's from one of my favourite albums of all time.

I think it goes without saying that I've not changed my mind on this one.
