With that said, the official winner, and the ultimate alternative song of 2005 is...
NIN - THE HAND THAT FEEDS!
I'd like to thank everyone who voted for making this game so wonderful. I'd also like to thank all the artists who had songs in this survivor, and everyone who made those songs successful. And finally, congratulations to Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN for taking home the gold. Oh, and the idol? The Foos had it. But it only gave them 2 votes, and they were 1 vote shy of the win.

As for what year I'm heading to next? Here's a hint: I've referenced it here more than any other year. As for the other clue, it was the first year that Captain Monkeyface went into office. Give up? It's 2001, the year of flop bands and MTV2's mainstream debut.
Until then, let's celebrate yet another classic alternative song!
