I thought this was a really weak year overall. A lot of disappointing albums. Anyway, judging by my iTunes play count...
Beck - Modern Guilt
- did not like that at alljayoh
- this was grand
climbatree - It wasn't my favorite Beck album, but apparently I still listened to it a lot. I like Beck.joeth

While it may not be the best album of the year per se, The Sight Below's "Glider" resonated with me the most...- I just found this today and will have a listen to it. been browsing the ghostly site.mg33

personal favs are
Mars Volta - Bedlam in Goliath
Constantines - Kensington Heights
Roots - Rising Down
TV on the Radio - Dear Science
Black Francis - Svn Fngrs
Portishead - Third- seeing mars live on that tour completely blew me away. that drummer is so fucking sickBonSeff
- Agree on the Mars and Portishead...TheBlueOne
- Svn Fngrs was good!fooler2
- Yeah, Frank Black Francis had a good year. I liked the Roots, but loved Game Theory from 06 more.CyBrain
