We're three quarters done with 2006, so what albums have been the best so far? (No, it doesn't count if you just discovered an album in 2006, it has to have been released in 2006!!!)

here's mine:

1. Riot City Blues - PRIMAL SCREAM
2. Under a Billion Suns - MUDHONEY
3. Magic Potion - THE BLACK KEYS
4. Ten Silver Drops - THE SECRET MACHINES
5. Living With War - NEIL YOUNG

    I use "incredible" too often I guess.

    it's better than ancient melodies, thats for sure.

    pearl jam-pearl jam
    the strokes-first impressions of earth
    red hot chili peppers-stadium arcadium
    audioslave-revelations
    if you count live releases, springsteen's hammersmith odeon 75, if not...eh i dunno then
    EDIT: Ah! Ben Harper's Both Sides of the Gun. Damn good album.

    we still got the Who, Beck, live My Morning Jacket, Jet(im keeping an open mind), and apparently some live foo fighters. I also have yet to pick up the new John Mayer, Dylan, or Black Keys. So, lots more. Good year, good year.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits
