A top ten album list would take me awhile. I'll come back to this one later. Good list Punk Jimmy I would agree that Cruel as School Children was a good album, don't know if it will make my top ten though.

Okay I took the time and came up with a list

1. Sam Roberts- Chemical City
2. The Dears- Gang of Losers
3. Thursday- A City By The Light Divided
4. Muse- Black Holes and Revelations
5. Ghostface- Fishscale
6. The Game- Doctor's Advocate
7. Ghostface- More Fish
8. Matt Mays- When The Angels Make Contact
9. Alien Ant Farm- Up in The Attic
10. The Stills- Without Feathers

The new Snow Patrol album should probably be on here but I haven't listened to it enough to decide.

......ugh.

This was a pretty pathetic year for new albums. I can't even think of 10 that deserve to be on the list.

1. Placebo - Meds
2. Vains of Jenna - Lit Up/Let Down
3. Crash Kelly - Electric Satisfaction
4. The Deadthings - Who Killed Holly Would
5. New York Dolls - One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This
6. Tom Petty - Highway Companion
7. Jane's Addiction - Up From The Catacombs
8. Aerosmith - Devil's Got a New Disguise

And the last two are greatest hits that just didn't suck as much as usual. Def Leppard, Skid Row, and Winger all had flops. I haven't heard Meatloaf's new release, maybe it's good enough. Probably not.

2005 was better. Not much hope for 2007, but I guess we'll see.

I noticed that their was a lot of good compilations that came out this year. Most of the CD's that I bought were from the gold series. Like Smokey Robinson gold, Reggae Gold, Peter Frampton Gold, and 80's Soul Gold. The gold series has really good liner notes, I really enjoy them.

I personally think Incubus's Light Grenades was a great contribution to 2006's albums.
I think it's really good, minus the "Earth to Bella"s.
Tool's 10,000 Days was excellent. One of my favorite albums so far.

The only one out of that list I have, or even listen to in some way is Placebo. Meds and Placebo the album too [but thats like over ten years old].

1. Nellie McKay- Pretty Little Head
2. The Beatles- Love
3. Ronnie Spector- Last of the Rockstars
4. Bob Dylan- Modern Times

Seriously, that's all I can think of... I didn't buy too many new albums this year, I was busy with back catalogues.

I really need to buy that Living With War disc. I heard a couple of tracks off of it and it was really beautiful material. The guy just keeps making great music even though he's well into his sixties, it's unbelievable.

#1 Matters of life and death- Iron Maiden
#2 Stadium Arcadium - RHCP
#3 Gaia: La Voz Dormida - Mago de oz
#4 10,000 days - Tool
#5 Memo Rex y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea - Zoe
#6 Get out of my yard- Paul Gilbert
#7 Light Granades - Incubus
#8 Revelations - Audioslave
#9 Meds- Placebo
#10 Black Parade- MCR

Matters of Life and death:Maiden just put out a great album with their traditional epic songs that you just must love for their originality and complexity.

Stadium Arcadium was also a great album giving us new RHCP material that ranges from everything funk, prog, alt, theres a little bit of all.

Gaia: La Voz dormida, you might not know the group but they are just great, epic songs with violins flutes and distorted guitars, what else could you ask for?

10,000 days: once again Tool makes a great album that shows their mastership of the prog genre, very good basslines and drumlines are found on this album, just like any other Tool album. Very expected.

Memo Rex y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea: Great outbreak for mexican band Zoe, they play a lot with textures on the background of the songs, some sort of electropop/rock that you might like if you are a placebo fan.

Get out of my yard: About time for Paul to give us an instrumental album. Great, period.

Light Granades: oh, do I love incubus, very nice work, I would have liked more work on behalf of the keyboards, but the vocals and guitar fill their space very well.

Revelations: No main reason, I just happen to like Cornell's work too much, not such a big fan of Morello, but he works for the sound they try to get. I've always thought that the only thing that RATM needed was a better vocalist.

Meds: Placebo put out a great album, although I'm not a fan so....

Black Parade: don't really like it, but since its a concept album, and I really like the concept I think it deserves at least a spot, and I just have to say that the guitarist did a great job nailing Brian May's tone!

Questions?

It wasn't. At all.

I didn't even pay for it and I still felt cheated, if only out of the time it took me to listen to it.

Usually I really like Jim Steinman's songwriting... It's all like... campy biker rock opera. Meatloaf's singing kind of bugs me, and he tends to breathe on the microphone a lot, but the rest of the music usually makes up for it.

Didn't hear a single song that I liked on this album, though. I might give it another chance someday because I wasn't a fan of Bat out of Hell II the first time I heard it either, but it'll have to be some day I'm seriously sick of [i]all[/i] of my other music.

It reminded me more of those shitty albums Meat Loaf put out that no one remembers than a Bat out of Hell album.

Its supposedly the story of a man dying from cancer(the patient) who looks back on his life, I haven't bothered to read lyrics or listen to the whole album yet (and won't) but its a good concept!
