One more, Bloc Party's Silent Alarm...how refreshing. A bit like Gang of Four but updated to present day.
Two more outstanding releases of 2005:

Sleater-Kinney, "The Woods" - The hardest rocking album I've heard in a long, long time. These girls make Led Zep sound like limp-wristed wimps.

Brian Jonestown Massacre, "Tepid Peppermint Wonderland" - This band rocks as if the 70s 80s 90s and 00s never happened. Sitar solo anyone?
Follow up, include Ryan Adam's "Love is Hell" to my above post. The_kid (Chris) was right, it is a fantastic album!
