There, I said it so you don't have to
but either Destroyer - Rubies, or Boris - Pink
runner up:
say anything- is a real boy (finally released majorly on J.)
I'd definitely second Boris, fuckin rocked beyond belief. I havent been able to get a hold of Rubies or any other Destroyer album for that matter cuz its always sold out. I also think the new Mike Patton, Peeping Tom, is really interesting.
Ben Harper

Yeah yeah yeahs-show your bones
and some others i guess
Chris Cornell

I heard a few songs to, really really neat stuff. Some of the timing on that album is nuts
moo, you bloody chior - augie march
you in reverse - built to spill
wolves - my latest novel
destroyer -rubies
convicts - you am i
many others, but they are my favourites...
anyone who says tool or pearl jam................well..........i dunno about that
Mudhoney - Under A Billion Suns
other than that, i was very pleasantly surprised with the new strokes album. honestly though, i dont buy THAT much music. the only other new in 06 cd's i have i think are built to spill and the new snow patrol. both are solid albums but can't quite compare to their earlier heights.
Placebo - Meds
And I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air
"Pearl Jam" Pearl Jam
Wolfmother
The Strokes
in that order........
the Chili Peppers have just released one of their best albums and the Strokes their best(same with Harper) so theyre all up there too
Wolfmother-honorable mention
Some die just to live.
seriously.....there is some beautiful stuff on this record. the first four tracks are incredibly solid. then the 3 song section in the middle of "jams run free", "rats", and "turquoise boy" are fucking great. 25 years into their career and they put out one of their best pieces of music
runners-up:
-st. elsewhere-gnarls barkley
i really like danger mouse and cee-lo elevates the songs. "crazy" is a nice single, but there is some pretty inventive stuff overall. i dig it
-fox confessor brings the flood-neko case
i don't think it needs to be said that neko has a fucking sweet voice. there are some damn good songs here too. i haven't heard much else solo neko stuff, but i here that this is the best record she has made and i can see why
-broken boy soldiers-the raconteurs
nothing groundbreaking here, but some great rock songs. jack white wears his influences on his sleeve and this record is no different. still, "steady as she goes", "broken boy soldiers", and "store bought bones" are great songs. a fun record
-living with war-neil young
i'm a little biased here because neil is one of my favorite artists. i still feel like this is an incredibly solid album for anyone to make. the key difference between this album and others that neil has put out recently is the aggression and sense of urgency that he has rediscovered. a great rock/protest record
overall, there hasn't been anything that has really blown me away so far this year. i really do love the sonic youth record and i'm sure it will end up near the top of my year-end list. i'm still listening to the thom yorke solo record. so far i think it's solid but not amazing. it's been growing on me though, so it might end up being one of my favorites. we'll see
Drum's Not Dead ~ LIARS.
Zaar ~ ZAAR.
Orchestra of Bubbles ~ ELLEN ALLIEN & APPARAT.
10,000 Days ~ TOOL.
Pearl Jam ~ PEARL JAM.

Pearl Jam- what can i say a consistent new cd from the greatest band of my lifetime
Strokes- awesome, awesome stuff. Its no wonder Ed loves these guys!!
2 best are still comin out....new Gov't mule and Joe bonamassa cds later this summer!!!!! THOM YORKE SOLO ALBUM TOO???? CANT WAIT!
Drive By Truckers
Secret Machines
Raconteurs
David Gilmour
Just finished listening to the new drive by truckers.... i think it might over take this
I'll second that... although ABAAC isn't as strong as the last two DBT albums...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Show Your Bones"
Pearl Jam - "Pearl Jam"
Grandaddy - "The Fambly Cat"
Gnarls Barkley - "St. Elsewhere"
In an order similar to that, I think.
A close second to Neko's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. Best voice in music today, it's not even close.
other notables
Loose Fur-Born Again in the USA
Grandaddy-Just Like the Fambly Cat
although I bought it, I can't put Stadium Arcadium up there. I'm awfully disappointed in it.
Pearl Jam
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
RHCP - Stadium Arcadium
Mark Lanegan and Isobelle Campbell - Ballard Of The Broken Seas
The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
very close between these 5 at the moment, I'm gonna get hold of the Thom Yorke solo advance later today and see what it's like, it may change things;)
Tool - 10,000 days is solid but for me personally isnt as good as those above, same with the Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's albums.:)
Just Listened to Drive By Truckers - A Blessing And A Curse and first impressions would put it up with the other 5 albums up there.
Have to play it a few more times to get to know it better.:)
Listening to Thom Yorke's new album as we speak interesting so far.:)
