these were the 25 albums of 2006 I enjoyed the most, in order (kinda, that's tough) .... feel free to rip me a new one if you feel its needed or post your own freaking list and declare it 'on'. (merrychristmas).

1. Hot Chip - The Warning
***Electronic dance based lovely folk music
2. Sunset Rubdown - Shut up! I am dreaming
***Stories told with hate'em or love vocals and great piano pieces
3. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
***If the Decemberists formed in 1974, they'd have sounded like this sooner
4. The Mountain Goats - Get Lonely
***I got lonely, I reached for Johns soothing melodies and lyrics
5. Peter Bjorn and John - Writers Block
***FUn varied and smart to boot.
6.Clispe - Hell Hath No Fury
***The best rap of the year, in probably all aspects
7. The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
***the band sounds together but the lyrics didnt interest me like craigs do.

*** (I love the west coast, can you tell?)
9. Joannna Newson - YS
***Beautiful,smart uniquely structured album
10.The Pippetes - We are the Pippetes

11.Yo La Tengo - I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass
***You heard? They still have it!!!
12.The Thermals - The Blood the Body The Machine
***relgious political lyrics served fast and with a side of guitar hooks.
