Mildly unuseful note(s): in terms of the best albums of the year, everyone has their opinion; as is the case with haircuts (I’m looking at you MySpace emo-trash). But, the case is, most of the time something cool comes out of them. Hell, one might even find an album that one has never heard before. Along those lines, I figured I’d throw out my 2 cents on what mash-ups I was really into. To be entirely honest, my favorite album last year was The Grey Album. Whether or not it can be considered an album is beside my point…it’s what I enjoyed listening to most, FACT. (side note: in the great tradition of mentioning The Go! Team’s album as a favorite of 2005, which many did, I’m going to mention mash-ups which may, or may not, have been released in 2004.) So, here are my favorite mash-ups of 2005! PS…just as with albums & tracks goes, you can’t hear everything released…hit me with some knowledge if you think you’ve got something that needs to be heard…let me know.
(By the way, DJ BC is the best masher out there, so, you’ll see him a lot on this list)
1. DJ BC “Yoshimi Battles Snoop Dogg”
(The Flaming Lips vs. Snoop Dogg)
2. Aggro1 “Pull Up the Poor Bitches”
(M.I.A. vs. Mindless Self Indulgence)
3. DJ BC “Can You Hear Biz Knockin’?”
(The Rolling Stones vs. Biz Markie)
4. DJ Riko “Stand Up and Ring My Doorbell”
(Ludacris vs. The White Stripes)
5. CCC “One of These Heatwaves”
(Pink Floyd vs. Wings vs. Martha Reeves)
6. Smash Mash-Ups “Sanctuary’s Over”
(The Doors vs. The Cult vs. pop beat)
7. DJ BC “Money”
(Wu-Tang Clan vs. The O’Jays)
8. FullMickTon “1000 Miles N’ Jiggin”
(N.W.A. vs. Martyn Bennett)
9. DJ Payroll “Intergalactic Enemy”
(Beastie Boys vs. Rage Against the Machine)
10. DJ iTrain “Frontin’ on the Root Down”
(Beastie Boys vs. The Who)
The Doors vs the Cult, nice!

Is anyone else finding that the “One of These Heatwaves” link doesn’t quite work?

My list was probably a bit more conventional… but then I’m not as “well-travelled” as you, yet…

…by the way, thanks for the list; those DJ BC tracks are very nice.
I think DJ Earworm is worth hearing as well:

I’m partial to “The Night Of Kittin’s Messy Dream”.

Thanks for the list. I found some DJ’s I haven’t heard yet…and I agree - DJ BC rocks!
DJ Earworm’s “Stairway to Bootleg Heaven” should prolly be on the list, too.
A couple of skate videos using BC and Earworm mash-ups:
Slo-Mo Heaven

No DJ BC “Glassworks” album? With the Beastie Boys vs. Phillip Glass? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I heard a better mash-up album in the last 3 years. Nothing out there does a better job to merge hip-hop with that classical sound. A complete merging of high and low brow.
