Did Hot Fuss come out in 05? I thought it was an 04 release. If it's 05 then it should be included. I love that album.

Speaking of X & Y, I just walked in from the Coldplay show. Very good live act. I was particularly struck by how evident the u2 ifluence is in their stuff, especially the new material. It has Edge's and Larry Mullen's fingerprints all over it. Impressive show, though.
