Best albums of 2006
1. P.O.S. - The Audition
Stunning. Punk rock meets rap meets emo meets stunningly original lyrics
2. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
Fast moving, chest-thumping punk + “Riot Van”
3. The Rapture - Pieces of The People We Love
A fun album full of dance music, I guess kinda like LCD Soundsystem?
4. The Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out
Hard to explain, but enjoyable to listen to.
5. Ok Go - Oh No
More just plain fun rock music, and of course, don’t miss their great music videos
6. Augustana - All The Stars And Boulevards
Melodic, catchy music
7. Teddybears - Soft Machine
The techno selection of the year has a great sound and crazy guest artistics like Nenah Cherry and Iggy Pop
8. Gym Class Heroes - As Cruel As Schoolchildren
Brainless, vapid rock/rap mix is just plain fun to listen to
9. Lupe Fiasco - Food And Liquor
“The Instrumental” is a great, great track, but Lupe gives rap music hope
10. Rock Kills Kid - Are You Nervous?
Catchy rock, just check out “I Need You” to see what I mean
