Welcome to Part 12 of the Noughtie series. This is the sixth Mixtape, celebrating the year of 2005 in rock and metal. I really liked 2005, despite emo becoming very prominent by now. There were good quality indie and metal bands making music. There were also a few decent alternative dance songs as well. Anyway, rules of the Mixtape.

A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong!
