Re: 2006 Album of the Year

I guess my personal album of the year was Liberation Transmission by Lostprophets cuz that's the one that I listened to the most. Not sure how much it really belongs in an album of the year discussion though, cuz when it boils down to it it's pop rock, but alas.

Out of the ones listed in the poll, I voted for My Chemical Romance's Welcome To The Black Parade.

And what, exactly, is wrong with pop-rock?

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

I like Nas' album a lot, I need to listen to The Roots' album more.

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

Both of those albums came out in 2005. Were they re-released as a double album this year or something?

Damn it was 2005...LOL 2006 really sucked for music.

Nothing is wrong with pop-rock in my book; in fact I enjoy it a lot. Just generally stuff that's too "mainstream-sounding" gets frowned upon for whatever reason in a "best of" discussion.

9/10 of the band's you like, I've never even heard of. Sorry.

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

this list desparately needs "Blessing and a Curse" by the Drive-By Truckers.

Damn good album. But I'm afraid DBT will be saddled by the brilliance of "Southern Rock Opera." Every record the band releases will be compared to "Opera," which will be tough to match.

Here's a 2006 record I completely forgot and definitely will be in my top five: "The Town and the City," Los Lobos.

Like DBT and "Southern Rock Opera," Los Lobos is saddled by its brilliance. The band never has put out a bad album in the last 25 years. It's sad that many people know Los Lobos only from its cover of "La Bamba." On a list of Los Lobos' 25 best songs, "La Bamba" would come in at No. 26 or lower.

Take care,
PK

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

I've have not heard any of those listened. So, I could say if my music is better. I heard some of that All that remains and it wasn't to bad. I've only bought 3 cds this year. I don't buy filler crap.

I pick Down-Nola (1995)

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

Breaking Benjamin - Phobia

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

I dunno what good rock albums came out... but Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor is dam good

[EWRMETS]

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

I haven't heard enough of Doctor's Advocate or Hip Hop is Dead but the Blue Carpet Treatment was surprisingly good to me. Best Snoop album since Doggystyle and I actually like it better than the Ghostface.

I probably would say Future Sex/Love Sounds as best CD. Gnarls Barkely was certainly really interesting but after listening to it too many times, it grates on me. Continuum was really good. Sam's Town wasn't consistent enough.

Re: 2006 Album of the Year

I voted for The Black Parade, but I'd also put The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus "Don't You Fake It" as another solid album in 2006.
