Scene Point Blank's Favorites: The Year So Far (August 2005)

Posted pre-2010

It's been an interesting year thus far. There's been some disappointing records, some exciting new ones, some dismal follow ups and jaw dropping singles. We've seen bizarre new medical discoveries and more terrorism threats. But above all, we've seen Scene Point Blank post features late. Quite why this is the case, we may never know, but the important thing is that our mid-year feature is finally here, so enjoy it extra quickly to make up for lost time. Read on to see our various top 5 singles/movies/etc lists, and the individual staff members' lists on the final page for the top 5 records of 2005 thus far.

Oh, and Apple, if you're reading this; we have no endorsement with your product, but if you'd like to send us some free iPods, we're up for that.
