Hi all. New to the forum.
1. The Crane Wife- The Decemberists 2. The Life Pursuit- Belle and Sebastian 3. Boys and Girls in America- The Hold Steady 4. Gulag Orkester- Beirut 5. Return to the Sea- Islands 6. Rabbit Fur Coat- Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins 7. And the Glass Handed Kites- Mew 8. Return to Cookie Mountain - TV on the Radio 9. With Love and Squalor- We Are Scientists 10. The Body, The Blood and the Machine- The Thermals Followed by new releases by Wilderness, Sunset Rubdown, Beast Moans, The Raconteurs, The Flaming Lips. My question? Why no love (relatively) for the Decemberists, here, or in critics lists? --------------- My basic objection to religion is not that it isn't true; I like plenty of things that aren't true. It's that religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. -Philip Pullman |

I like your inclusion of these two albums. Both were near misses for me, but I'm glad they got represented somewhere. I sort of like your inclusion of The Coup too. I think "My Favorite Mutiny" is my favorite hip-hop track of 2006. ----- We were wasps with new wings, now we're bugs in the jar. |

Me too. It will be showing up on my songs list. |

I loved Sibylle Baier's Colour Green album. Since the music was recorded during the early '70s, I left it off my list, along with other reissues or older music first seeing a release, such as Karen Dalton and Selda Bagcan. Maybe there should be a 'best of' list on the forums just for this type material. |

Dang! I just remembered I forgot to include "Cuckoo" among my favorite songs of '06. Hindsight etc. |

Just a reminder that we have a thread to post your final lists for Best Songs of 2006 too. I've notice a lot more action over here for the albums, and I just wanted to let you guys know the songs thread is getting jealous. Go post your lists!

I didn't pick up the Sibylle Baier till my list was done, and I'm not necessarily saying it would be in my top 20, but since it was never formally released in the 70s, or in any format since then, I have no problem with it being on someone's list now, the first year of its official release on any medium. It's not a reissue, just a long-delayed first release.

That makes two of us, Peewee.. I'm less surprised that it isn't people's #1 than I am by the fact that it doesn't appear anywhere on most lists. |

This took a lot longer than I expected it to, but after some intense CD listening, I think I have a list I'm happy with. (Finally.)

Malajube - Trompe-L’œil 4. Islands - Return To The Sea 5. Clark - Body Riddle 6. Aloha - Some Echoes 7. Subtle - For Hero:For Fool 8. The Knife - Silent Shout 9. AFX - Chosen Lords 10. Boris - Pink 11. Beirut - Gulag Orkestar 12. Oneida - Happy New Year 13. Ellen Allien & Apparat - Orchestra of Bubbles 14. Love Is All - Nine Times That Same Song (I think this was 2006 in the US, but I don't know...) 15. Beck - The Information 16. TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain 17. Tapes 'n Tapes - The Loon 18. Rock Plaza Central - Are We Not Horses? 19. Joanna Newsom - Ys 20.

Actually, I just found that I've already counted yours. The giveaway was when I noticed that Dieselboy already had a 18th place vote.

True dat, Raving, I guess I was thinking more about the national critics. I saw it on few top ten lists, and Pitchfork, Tiny Mix Tapes, CokeMachineGlow and others dissed in something awful during the end of the year lists. I seem to remember the critics liking it just fine at the time, but, like a one night stand, forgetting about it come the holidays!

Good list. I like most of the ones I know about here. The Islands didn't impress me as much as I thought as I found it uneven, but I'd give it a grade of B at least. |
