Best Eight Albums of 2006 | Of Miles Rausch

I missed this last year, so this year I’m putting in my picks for Best Eight Albums of 2006. I’m doing eight, because I really couldn’t come up with ten. I think I just found a love for older music this year. I considered doing a Best Of 2005 list, but you guys are smarter than that.

In Ink Please — Formica Table for Two (50)
The Streets — The Hardest Way to Make An Easy Living (27)
The Decemberists — The Crane Wife (23)
Thom Yorke — The Eraser (18)
Guster — Ganging Up on the Sun (15)
Cursive — Happy Hollow (15)
Sunset Rubdown — Shut Up I Am Dreaming (12)
Snow Patrol — Eyes Open (11)

The numbers represent total play counts for the entire album (totaling play count per song). It’s not extremely accurate (especially since my library has seen a lot of modification this past year), but I agree with it. Guster beat out Cursive because I put two of their songs on a CD for Holli from that album, which I thought should count for something.

What is your list of top 2006 music albums?

I don’t even know, dude. I bought 2 albums last year, both were good, and i listened to a bunch more but my pc doesn’t even work anymore so I can’t hop on and see what I like and nothings coming to me.

I’ve only received one CD in 2006, and that was last week for Christmas from Miles. So here is my list:

1. OK Go — Oh No

Tahhh-dahhh!

1. Johnny Cash — A Hundred Highways

2. Walk The Line Soundtrack

Wow, I only bought 2 cds this whole year.

1 — Goo Goo Dolls — Let Love In
2 — Sanctus Real — The Face of Love
3 — Reel Big Fish — Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album
4 — No Doubt — Tragic Kingdom

Oh wait…this isn’t 1996?

I also listened to Harry Potter on CD, that was pretty good too.

So, Miles told me that OK Go — Oh no was a 2005 album.

I don’t have a list.
