Damn you! I have been planning on doing a thread like this since the beginning of December. Oh well, I'm still working on my list as well. I'll be back.

Does it have to be music that was released in 2006? Or just music that we enjoyed the most in 2006?

Here's a rough list of my favorite albums from '06. I'm sure this will be edited a few times.

Bitcrush - In Distance
Bola - Shapes (Re-Issue)
Christ. - Blue Shift Emissions (Not technically out yet)
Clark - Body Riddle
Freescha - Head Warlock Double Stare
Julian Fane - Our New Quarters (Not technically out yet)
Ochre - Lemodie
Syntaks - Awakes
Thom Yorke - The Eraser

I'm still waiting to recieve Proem "You Shall Have Ever Been" and Syntaks "Below The Meridian" which could both easily make the list.

Here's a quick top 15 off the top of my head and iPod (wish I could use italics here)

15) Juana Molina - Son

14) Weave - In Between

13) Inch Time - As The Moon Draws Water

2) Grizzly Bear 'Yellow House'
3) The Knife 'Silent Shout'
4) Peter and the Wolf 'Lightness'
5) Califone 'Roots and Crowns
6) Tycho 'Past is Prologue'
7) TV on the Radio 'Return to Cookie Mountain'

Favorite releases of 2006? Interesting question. One I don't think I can really answer in a straight forward manner.

Most of 2006, I have been flat broke and have not been able to purchase very many releases. However, this is also my first year in the Twoism forums, and I have discovered COUNTLESS, INCREDIBLE artists from this place that I would NEVER have discovered otherwise... and that is what I would like to try and list for you tonight ladies and gentlemen.
