I can't believe I had never heard that Silver Sun album. It's fantastic, and right up my alley. As for other albums from 2005, I don't know how you feel about OK Go's "Oh No", and their well-known track "Here It Goes Again" (and the incredible video they made for it), but I like the entire album and think it qualifies, for me at least, as hooky guitar pop.

OK Go was on and off the list. Great call!
