A Year in Music
My turn for a list. In an effort to help me stop trying to figure out how a football team doesn't have anyone that can kick a 47 yard field goal, and how going for it on 4th and 11 is better than trying said field goal, I've decided to rank my 2006 cd's. The albums below were found by sorting my iTunes on year, so if some of these aren't actually 2006 cd's, it's iTunes not me. (See comments. update on 1/3)

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

The groupings had two purposes. First, so it wasn't a huge list and second to recognize my different levels of enjoyment. Kind of like all the ones in the first pile are great, second pile good, etc.
How The Roots "Game Theory" is left off any list is beyond me--especially on the very blog I participate in.
You also left off:
-Strange Fruit Project: "The Healing"
-Lupe Fiasco: "Food & Liquor"
-Ohmega Watts: "The Find"
Oh, and The Hold Steady: "Boys & Girls of America." Just in case you forgot.
I will now log off my $0.75/minute internet service, otherwise I would continue to add more to this list.
Happy New Year!

How about Now It's Overhead, Jenny Lewis and Watson Twins, Ghostface Killah, as some to add to this already impressive list.
Also, although I haven't heard it yet, Anonymous American put out a CD on 12/30 that I am looking forward to, so that is technically '06.

Comments on the oversights. As I said, I just filtered my iTunes on 2006, so it was possible to miss some albums. As such, I will be amending my post to include the Roots and Jenny Lewis since I listened to those albums extensively during the year.
The other albums did not receive enough of my time to make the list.
