Post your top 10 (or whatever) albums of 2006, with a description of some sort, if you choose so (I've just put the genres, for now, because I'm lazy ).

No Order for this, so bear with me
1) Gold Record: Bouncing Souls
2) The Crane Wife: The Decemberists
3) Rockford: Cheap Trick
That is all I have right now. My CD collection is a mess, and I will rummage through that soon.

The Gold Record was outstanding, and The Crane Wife was certainly one of the better albums released.

1) Audioslave - Revelations

2) Tool - 10,000 Days

3) Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

4) Gliss - Love the Virgins

5) Pearl Jam - Self Titled

Problem is for me, I didn't actually get round to buying that many albums that came out last year!

The Young Knives - Voices of Animals and Men

http://play.com/Music/CD/4-/1063996/...n/Product.html

1. Summoning - Oathbound
2. Melechesh - Emissaries
3. Weird Al Yankovic - Straight outta Lynwood
4. Amon Amarth - With Oden by our side

The Killers- Sam's Town

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open

Wolfmother- Wolfmother

Stadium Arcadium- RHCP

Found another one: Love is my Religion--Ziggy Marley
EDIT: I also am happy for Mighty Mouse and Cee Lo for selling a huge album, but I don't like the pop-status that "Crazy" has gotten. I doubt most who bought it listen to the whole thing, but I really liked St. Elswhere.

Oasis - Stop The Clocks, Sort of a 'Best Of' album I know, but a big chunk of the finest music of the nineties on 2 disks can't be passed up. Listening to this makes me feel instantly better when I'm unhappy.

Muse - Black Holes and Revations, Cracker, I canny fault this, just love their sound. Knights of Cydonia, Supermassive Black Hole, Invincible and Starlight are particularly good.

Kasabian - Empire, They fancy themselves as the new Oasis of Britpop, but I'm not convinced yet. This album is still great. Tracks like Empire, Shoot the Runner and Me Plus One never get old.
