#1 didn't impress me all that much, #4 was pretty sweet and #5 was one of the best hip-hop albums released all year. #7 and #10 were grade-A righteous. I didn't hear the new B&S, but I heard some very unflattering things about from som friends of mine.

1.-9. Tom Waits - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards
10. Bob Dylan - Modern Times

Wow....so I only bought two albums that came out this year but I loved them with all my penniless heart so I suppose it's a 100% success rate.

i realise i might not have a top 10 of any cds released in 2006.. except for ratatat's classics. i was pretty broke this year and didnt get to buy a lot of music, and most of what i stole had already been released in years past. my bad, sorry 2006.

I discovered more music in the year of 2006 than in any of my previous years combined. But my top 10 of 2006 would probably have albums from 1995, 1946, 1930, etc. (I'm bad with dates).
