I've lost touch with a few in my top 20, but I still maintain that 2006 had a lot more good records then it's gotten credit for. Decent year in music.
There were quite a few good albums, but there was nothing that really blew me away. Still, a bunch of those albums have staying power, and I've discovered several great albums after the fact.

Aren't there any girls out their who like good music? I need to and want to meet them. My favorite bands are Overkill River, The Nife, Songs:Ohio, and Nuetral Milk Hotel. Please let me know if your into indy music and like to go to show's and drink beer's and makeout.

All of Modern Times by Bob Dylan. If this is truly "Old People's Music", then count me in as a wise, lyrical-loving, blues-themed, awesome-music-loving Old [One of a] People!

I just picked up Etiquette, by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. What a wonderful record. Didn't make a lot of critical year end lists, I don't think, but I know it was somewhere on the MC list. A little David Bowie, and little electronica, and a little female vocal. It's a great combo, and, to boot, it has a great album cover!

I remembered that it was pretty high on one or two individual lists, but I never went back and checked whose. That's when I was fresh on the boards and didn't know anyone, so I didn't know who's recs to trust. It likely would be top 10 for 2006 on my list if I were to make it now.

I was afraid to check that album out because the bands name sounds so.... emo and stupid. _______________________ I troll for pay. quote: Regarding the tastes vs. 'unoriginality of lists' vs. is Jackson just a jerk? talk

Nothing of the sort. It's great fun. And the album cover, as k/c said, is great!

Along with Get Lonely by the Mountain Goats, Etiquette was the best album lyrically of 2006. The music's pretty good, though not quite as good as 2003's Twinkle Echo, which is Casiotone's best.

I finally picked up The Blow's album from last year and it's really good. I don't know how I missed it... _______________________ I troll for pay. quote: Regarding the tastes vs. 'unoriginality of lists' vs. is Jackson just a jerk? talk

Yeah, The Format has been popular for a while, and had a radio single a few years ago. "She Doesn't Get It" is playing on the radio, which makes sense considering The Format is basically catchy as any mainstream pop band.

Sunset Rubdown, Shut Up I Am Dreaming. Brightblack Morning Light's self-titled. 2007 has had a higher quantity of good albums so far, but 2006's best are standing the test of time for me.

I've always liked Ys a lot, but it's just really sank in to where I feel it's brilliant. _______________________ I troll for pay. quote: Regarding the tastes vs. 'unoriginality of lists' vs. is Jackson just a jerk? talk

The Hold Steady continues to be on repeat and really gets better with each listen. I also listen to Crane Wife, Destroyer's Rubies, and Etiquette from time to time. Boy "Rabbit Fur Coat" has not stood the test of time well...damn
It ain't hallelujah, but it might as well have been.

Yeppers. Ys still has my attention. It's not rock but it sure does rock.
