the black parade
Sortof a repost, but only because I have some much better choices.
The top 5 albums of 2006
I really was disappointed with last year's music. I have gone through a couple 'best of' lists and am going to listen to some other's favorites, in the hopes of finding something new and good.
Otherwise, this is all I've got.
I also thought it would be big of me to post some title that were either recommended or deemed "hot" by the radio community, and did not make my list.
I only liked 1-2 songs on these
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Panic! at the Disco - Panic! at the Disco
The Black Keys - Magic Potion
Placebo - Meds
She Wants Revenge - She Wants Revenge
Artic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, Thats What I'm Not
Blue October - Foiled
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
These were ok, but still not great as total albums
Wolfmother - Wolfmother
Gorillaz - Demon Days
5) Straight outta Lynwood - Weird Al
This guy can't miss. Every album is very good, and very current. I even like the polka medlies!
Do you know background of the title? Back in the 1990, the famous NWA album 'straight outta compton' was released, with much fanfare and rebelrausing.
Know where Lynwood is? Right next to Compton.
Know where Weird Al grew up? Lynwood.
So he is a true gansta.
4) Tool - 10000 days
Not the best tool album, but even sub-par Tool is very good. Two complaints,
1) I love the vicarious song, except for the chorus, I would love to see this track remixed with a slightly different chorus. Maynard, if you're reading this, contact me and I will explain.
2) Too much filler. I get sick of all the non-musical tracks.
3) My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
Only got this recently, but it is quickly one of my favorites now. Not every track is great, but at least three are top-notch.
2) Built to Spill - You in Reverse
This is probably the most listened to album of the year for me. But at the end of the day, 4 tracks really stand out. A close second, and nearly perfect.
1) Lagwagon - Resolve
Technically, this was released in late november of 2005, but that means by the time you're really listening to it, it's already 2006.
All but one song is great, and each slightly different from previous songs.
I can't say enough good things about it, other than on the first listen, I hated it. I had to listen to for almost 2 weeks before I really started to like it.
I'm currently getting the following in a attempt to see if there was some new music last year I missed.
-My Chemical Romance - The black parade
-Placebo- Meds
-Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
-The Black Keys - The Magic Potion
-The Decemberists - The crane wife
-Wolfmother - Wolfmother
We'll see.....
