Best 18 of 2006
thinking what albums were the best last year, one thing’s for sure : Dangermouse and crew came out of left field and kicked everyone’s ass with music that transcended all cultures and tastes. arguably the best album of the year.
as we brainstormed this list, we realized it could go on and on. therefore we limited ourselves to more popular music and started some other, more specific lists that we may get to posting another time. hard to narrow it down, tho, otherwise!
so, the rest pollee and i collectively listed in no particular order [and with some fun youtube links we found] :
Gnarls Barkley St. Elsewhere
The Flaming Lips At War With the Mystics
Cat Power The Greatest
Raconteurs Broken Boy Soldiers
The Roots Game Theory
Brand New Heavies Get Used To It
Gomez How We Operate
Prefuse 73 Security Screenings
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Show Your Bones
Eric Bachmann To The Races
She Wants Revenge Out of Control
Guillemots Through the Windowpane
TV On The Radio Return to Cookie Mountain
Belle and Sebastian The Life Pursuit
The Gossip Standing in the Way of Control
Old Crow Medicine Show Big Iron World
Neko Case Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
Built To Spill You In Reverse
That all said, this year is slated for the release of some new albums from some of our other favorite bands.
Indeed, the year is shaping up already.
