20 for 2006
Here's some of my favorite albums from 2006.
Happy New Year!
20. Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
Another great SY outing.
19. Tom Waits - Orphans
Not his best, but still...Tom Waits.
18. Xiu Xiu - The Air Force
"Xiu Xiu is like your drunk racist uncle peeing on your Nintendo." - Phil
17. M. Ward - Post-War
"1...1...1...1 or 2 won't do / I want it all"
16. Beirut - Gulag Orkestra
I can't believe this kid is 19.
15. Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
"Trill"
14. TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
"I hate TV on the Radio" - Zach Hart
13. Cat Power - The Greatest
Chan can dance on my table anytime.
12. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - The Letting Go
Beards everywhere rejoice
11. Band of Horses - Everything all the Time
"Weed Party!!!"
10. Tapes 'n Tapes - The Loon
"I've been a better lover with your mother."
9. Fire Don't Care - Be What You Are
"you chopped down the tree / you're living on your own"
8. Built to Spill - You in Reverse
The boys from Boise get out the riff machine, again.
7. Destroyer - Rubies
"with your father...the fuckin' maniac"
6. Mew - ...and the Glass Handed Kites
"but there's a glitch you're an ostrich / you've got your head in the sand."
5. Boris - Pink
Japenese prog-metal. What else do you want?
4. Sparklehorse - Dreamt of Light for Years in the Belly of the Mountain
It took 'em 5 years. And it was worth it.
3. Sunset Rubdown - Shut up I am Dreaming
"the ocean never listens to us anyway"
2. Lupe Fiasco - Food & Liquor
"C'mon everybody lets make cocaine cool / we need a few more half-naked women in the pool"
1. (tie) The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls in America
I've always said that this band is like the new, cooler Bruce Springsteen. This album proves me right.
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Probably the most beautiful indie album of the past 5 years.
