    1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium (Double Album with little filler)
    2. Dashboard Confessional - Dusk and Summer (Great)
    3. Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam (they haven't made my top 5 since 1998)
    4. Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death (their best)
    5. The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth (the 1st half of the album is so good I can forgive the 2nd half)

    Honorable Mentions
    Tool - the songs are good, when i can find them
    My Chemical Romance - c'mon, there's a lot worse
    +44 and Angels and Airwaves - do I dare combine them and make the greatest Blink album?

    Dishonorable Mentions (disappointing because I LOVE their previous work)
    The Killer's - Sam's Town - definition of sophomore slump and he hyped this as the best in the last 20 years
    Springsteen - Seeger Sessions - he should have done the Bob Seger Sessions
    Def Leppard - Yeah - NO!
    Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell III (just bad)
    Thom Yorke - Worse than Hail to the Thief (if possible)
    Army of Anyone - Nickelback is more original
    Panic Channel - would this be a good album if Perry sang? discuss

    Hopes for 2007
    Guns N Roses - new album (10th anniversary of waiting)
    Van Halen - With Diamond Dave
    AC/DC - album and tour
    Ozzy/Black Sabbath - album and tour
    Metallica - Please save them Rick Rubin
    Police - reunion tour, it's time
    Aerosmith - a good album
    Courtney Love - a good album
    Smashing Pumpkins - new album and tour (if it's not a greatest hits tour it will be a disaster)
    The Replacements - Reunion "Winter Dance" tour (finish it for Buddy and Ritchie)
    Strictly for my ninjas

    "Worse than Hail to the thief (if possible)"

    Whoa. You think 'Hail to the Thief' is a bad album? You are seriously on some crack.

    Although you also think that the Pearl Jam release was one of the best albums of the year.

    Oh, Wolfmother and the Arctic Monkeys get honourable mentions for being pretty much the only half decent new bands, (other than AOA)
    If you can listen to wolfmother. The Sword will blow your mind their album is age of winters.

    My favorite new band this year by far. It sucks becasue like wolfmother all they are is a throwback to high on fire or black sabbath for that matter, but they just rock so damn hard i don't bitch about them ripping those bands off too much.

    From austin TX The Sword- Age of Winters. check it out \m/


    Band of horses was pretty cool too, but again they sound quite unorginal to me :( , but what they do play sounds very good. I think the funeral may be my favorite song of the year :)
