    orphans blows everything right out of the water, so that's it for me.

    that being said, I just realized Robert Pollard's "From a Compound Eye" was released in 06.

    being that it's his best album since Under the Bushes, Under the Stars, I'd say it's definitely up there too.

    Hands down. The new Pearl Jam will never come close to this for me.

    It is the album i listen to the most from 2006 6 months after teh year closed out. Technically excellent yet the riffs are still stout and grinding.

    Pearl Jam's self-titled, and The Flaming Lips' "At War With the Mystics" were my favorites from 2006. It was especially cool seein both bands live in support of these albums in 2006.

    Honorable Mention:

    Biggest Letdowns:
    Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Stadium Arcadium"
    Tool, "10,000 Days"
    Incubus, "Light Grenades"
    Audioslave, "Revelations"

    i like this list! mars volta album was supurb, as were pj's and sy.. and the beatles release was really really cool as well.
    agree with the dissapointments as well, i like the new tool record, but is wasnt up to the expectations, still the pot is one of the best songs they've ever made...
    agree with the audioslave mention too, only memorable song on there was MOTH, but that was a damn good song...
