Long boi merch

As we have a thread about the SINGLES of 2006, I thought why not have an ALBUMS of 2006 thread...

I liked the Radio 1 Live Lounge Album, as compilations go at least, it was good and had variety.

Also bought The Amazing Adventures of DJ Yoda which I thought was good but his previous "how to cut and paste..." albums were better.

Didnt really buy many other albums to be honest, but I reckon Killers - Sam's Town and the Fratellis album will get votes.

[Jono]

For me either The Fratellis' album, the latest Muse album or Keane.

Didn't really rate the Killers' album much. I've probably forgotten some good albums from the start of the year. But The Feeling's album and the new Scissor Sisters CD were quite good.

[demonhorse]

Ah the Muse album.. havent heard that but I'm sure it's a good listen, it IS Muse after all :-p

Oh yeah forgot about the Scissor Sisters... probably Radio1s constant plugging having the opposite effect on me from what was intended...

[Serin]

Nelly Furtado 'Loose'

[Behelzebub]

Mine in no particular order:

• Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
  
• Scissor Sisters - Ta-Dah
  
• The Fratellis - Costello Music
  
• The Long Blondes - Someone to Drive You Home (really wish more people had heard of them )
  

That's about it really.

[John]

I've heard of Long Blondes. Couldnt tell you anymore about them though.

Album for me: Elderberry Shiftglass - Loop Guru

[Kelly]

The Feeling - Twelve Stops and Home. Without a doubt. Costello Music was very good too though!

[Lucinda]

Best albums of this year (sort of in order)

Fratellis - Costello Music

Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

The Feeling - 12 Stops And Home

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open

The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out

Fairly good albums this year:

The Killers - Sam's Town

Razorlight - Razorlight

Orson - Bright Idea

[Jono]

Ah yes, quite liked The Kooks and Orson too.

[Ema]

Its between The Kooks and The Fratellis for me,I will give you a definate answer at christmas when I *hopefully* get some cd's from Santa ;-)

[stupid_sexy_flanders]

The new Magic Numbers album i very impressive musically and I love The Life Pursuit by Belle and Sebastian. Other brilliant albums from this year include The Feeling, Primal Scream, The All-American Rejects, The Kooks and Snow Patrol but there is only 1 winner of this - The Fratellis - Costello Music - it is such a diverse album and has a bit of everything. Definately in my all time favourites.

And the Razorlight album is good too.

[Lucinda]

I was going to say the All-American Rejects album, but I bought it in August 2005 :-p

I'm interested to see that no one has mentioned the Arctic Monkeys yet.

[demonhorse]

I'm interested to see that no one has mentioned the Arctic Monkeys yet.

because they're overrated and maybe the whole album isn't as good as the singles they've released?

[Lucinda]

because they're overrated and maybe the whole album isn't as good as the singles they've released?

Exactly the point I was making :-p the album was a let down really.

[Jono]

I thought their album came out last year?

Ah okay, 23rd January. Nah, it was never that great I thought, bar a few tracks.

Ooh that reminds me, The Strokes' album. That wasn't bad.

[Lucinda]

I remembered rightly: it came out in January 2006.

[Grace]

The Feeling-Twelve Stops and Home

Yes, I'm a fan...:biggrin:

[Lucinda]

Oh yes, The Strokes, a pretty good album too.

[demonhorse]

The Feeling-Twelve Stops and Home

Yes, I'm a fan...:biggrin:

They came to Southampton last week, and were amazing.

[Jono]

They're not coming to Norwich until February. Rubbish!

[Grace]

They're not coming to Norwich until February. Rubbish!

Worth the wait. All the pleading in the world wouldn't persuade my parents to let me and a friend and my brother go up to Hammersmith to see them. :-X

[callum]

well this years albums haven't all been that amazing, The feeling, Kooks, Strokes, Muse, embrace, snow patrol. The Killers wins it though, there second album is brilliant

[John]

I bought Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon this year. That technically is my album of 2006

[callum]
