The Albums of 2006

Published on 6 years, 4 months ago in Music. 0 Comments

It was a pretty anemic year for music, most of my time was spent listening to old albums, like Neil Young. Still, here’s some standouts:

My favorites:

  • TV on the Radio – Return to Cookie Mountain
  • Tom Waits – Orphans: Bawlers, Brawlers & Bastards
  • Gnarls Barkley – St. Elsewhere
  • I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness – Fear is on Our Side
  • DFA – The DFA Remixes Chapter 1
  • The Knife – Silent Shout
  • Mission of Burma – The Obliterati
  • The Rapture – Pieces of the People We Love

While I’m not a huge Yo La Tengo fan, their new album “I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass” had the best album title.

Albums that disapointed:

  • DJ Shadow – The Outsider (apart from “Seein’ Thangs”, this album blew)
  • The Streets – The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living
  • The Scissor Sisters – Ta-Dah
