Help increase my music collection!

[Jiggymike]

So I picked up today's issue of Blender and I realized how out of the loop I am with regards to music. Let's see if OOT can help me out with some good albums from last year (2005 as well):

I know a lot of popular music from the radio (don't listen much but I know what's what) and a lot of "new" bands that are becoming popular now I know from back in the day when I listened to more emo/punk/pop punk music (AFI for example). My favorite album from last year was Bloc Party (maybe 2005) and I also really like the Raconteurs(anything Jack White and bluesy rock). I think the Killers are kind of cool but their 2nd album was pretentious crap. I don't really dig pop emo enough (Fall out boy, Panic! at the disco) anymore to warrant getting any of their albums. There are a lot of bands I've heard about but dont' know a lot of music by (Arctic Monkeys, The Academy is..., The HoldSteady) so if people like those I will listen to that as well.

Contrary to my title I don't listen to a ton of rap; I like a lot of it but usally choose not to listen to it as an album. However I'll take suggestions in that field too. Now DO IT!
