Let’s take a trip
back to 2005, when the fringes were long and the guyliner was oh-so strong.
2005 was a big year
for music, with albums like Fall Out Boy’s From Under the Cork Tree, Panic! At
The Disco’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Avenged Sevenfold’s City of Evil, The
All-American Rejects’ Move Along and The Academy Is… Almost Here and a lot
more, hitting the scene and dominating the radio waves.
In honor of some of
my most cherished albums turning 10 this year, here are my top ten songs of
2005 list!
1.
Panic! At The Disco- I Write Sins Not Tragedies
This was the song that started my love
affair with boys with tighter pants than me, and with guys that wore too much
eyeliner. Seriously, Ryan Ross- eyeliner goals.
2.
Fall Out Boy- Sugar We’re Goin’ Down
The song that people
love to belt out the wrong lyrics too, but they belt it out with passion. “What’s
he saying?” “A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it.” “What does that even
mean?”
Whether you know what that means or not, this song holds a special place in the hearts of many. If I’m in public and this song comes on, you bet your sweet ass I’m going to break into song.

The Academy Is… The Phrase That Pays
Almost Here has many
favorites of mine, but this song in particular held so much meaning with me. “Hold
your head high, heavy heart,” that’s some deep stuff- and 12 year old me clung
to every word.
4.
Avenged Sevenfold- Beast and the Harlot
I met two of my best friends through our
love of Avenged Sevenfold. Singing our hearts out to this song in the back of
the chorus room was some of my favorite memories. Plus, this music video is
totally kick ass.
5.
The All-American Rejects- Dirty Little Secret
Everywhere I went
Dirty Little Secret was playing. This song was one of the band’s shining
moments and continues to be one of their biggest hits. Almost everyone has had
this as their Myspace profile song at one point in their lives.
6.
Jack’s Mannequin- Dark Blue
Andrew McMahon was going
through chemotherapy when Everything in Transit was released. During one of the
most difficult times in his life, he released some of the best music of his career.
Dark Blue was on every emo kid’s playlist. “Have you ever been alone in a crowded
room?” Oh man, have I.
7.
Paramore- Pressure
All We Know is
Falling was one of my favorite albums of 2005. Hayley Williams was this tiny girl
with fiery hair that started a riot in my soul and I’ve been obsessed ever
since. Pressure was the first song I heard from Paramore so it holds a special
place in my heart and in my playlists.
8.
American Hi-Fi- The Geeks Get The Girl
While my favorite
song by the band will always be “The Flavor of the Weak,” this song is in my
top five. It’s absolutely ridiculous in the best way.
9.
Motion City Soundtrack- L.G. FUAD
Let’s Get Fucked Up
and Die remains one of my favorite songs from the band and one of their most recognized.
This song is filled with clever lyrics and a catchy beat; it’s hard not to sing
along to it.
10. 30
Seconds to Mars- The Kill
Okay, so this song
was a part of my morning routine in 8th grade. Hands down, my
favorite out of everything they’ve ever done. Jared Leto was always the guy from
Urban Legend to me and then I saw the music video for this song and he became
so much more. The video has influences from The Shining so if you haven’t
already seen it; you should definitely give it a try.
So, there you have
it, my top ten songs that are now ten years old. What were some of your
favorites from the year 2005?
