Tom Vek - We Have Sound (Tummy Touch, 2005) Still sounds great, with very distinctive bass and synth, especially. His vocal style (limitations?) wearies a little, but several killer tunes (Nothing But Green Lights FTW) save the day. #5DebutAlbums0509 open.spotify.com/album/2Be8lj...

Shook Ones - "Sixteen"

This dude's voice isn't my favorite, but this is still a decent melodic hardcore album.

Honourable mention for The Earlies - 'These Were The Earlies'.
Released in the US in 2005, but released a year earlier in the UK. Would most definitely have been in my top 5, otherwise.

People are too cool and take themselves too seriously when it comes to music. There’s always a place for unadulterated joy and this album has it in spades.

Long list for #5DebutAlbums0509
This period falls directly in my 'getting married, buying a house, having kids' fallow period. Not the greatest era of music, but still a fair few that have had the legs and stayed the course.

Still working through 2005 albums. This topped NME's 2010 list of 'the 100 greatest albums you've never heard'. A very enjoyable album and an interesting mix of styles but doesn't live up to NME's rating.

Jamie T - Panic Prevention.
I got into his 3rd album after seeing him support Blur. I think the debut is more of a mixed bag, Salvador being a high point.

#5DebutAlbums0509 falls right at the start of my post-student musical fallow years. I'll be relying a lot on reviews to get a listening list.
One album I do own and love though is:
Florence + the Machine - Lungs
Impress me more than this, and you're probably making my top 5.
