Happy New Year everyone!
Last year, I think I produced my best albums of 2006 list in March 2007 so I thought I’d produce a list a bit earlier this time! There may be a few additions to this list over the next couple of months as I catch up with my reviews. By clicking on each link below you can see my original reviews:
aMute - The Sea Horse Limbo
Annie Barker - Mountains And Tumult

Grand National - A Drink & A Quick Decision
HIJK - The Pen And The Letter
The Hours - Narcissus Road
Interpol - Our Love To Admire
Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future
Kongos - Kongos
Magic Bullets - A Child But In Life Yet A Doctor In Love
Maps - We Can Create
Millimetre - Obsidian
The Mitchells - Slow Gears
Monocle - Outer Sunset

Santa Dog - Kittyhawk
S.E.L.F. Of Lotus Tribe - The Art & War Of Misanthropic Philanthropy
Slow Dancing Society - The Slow And Steady Winter
The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters

I would be interested to hear other readers’ best-of lists too, if you’d care to contribute.
This year, instead of putting together a “best of” or “favorite” list, I put together a mix of my fave songs of the year.

Some songs correspond with what would be my fave albums, if I were to make a list. Others, not so much.
hi pal, happy new year!
Do you know that Amazon.com is using your reviews?

The Amycanbe one that you reviewed is brilliant!
