As many music junkies do at this time of year, I have compiled a 'Best Of' list of my favorite discs released in the past 12 months. Now, this list isn't exhaustive, as I've likely failed to pick up a few awesome releases. Some of you keeners may say, 'but wait, this disc was released in 05.' Yes, there are a few 05' releases on the list if you'd like to be technical, but all 05' releases were in the last few months, and due to a lack of/inexistant label support and/or distbution, they didn't hit store shelves until early 2006. Enjoy...
Top Twelve-In no specific order....
Cadence Weapon- Breaking Kayfabe
The Meligrove Band- Planets Conspire
Strike Anywhere- Dead F.M.
The Decemberists- The Crane Wife
Pretty Girls Make Graves- Elan Vital
Brand New- The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
Raising the Fawn- The Maginot Line
Lupe Fiasco- Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liqour
TV on the Radio- Return to Cookie Mountain
The Early November- The Mother, The Mechainc, and The Path
The Coup- Pick a Bigger Weapon
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!- s/t
And an honourable mention to K-Os, The Killers, The Rapture, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Mars Volta, and Attack In Black, who would have been top 12 had they not released two EPs instead of a full length. And likely a few that I've missed.
The Top Single of the Year, and a contender for song of the decade, hands down......
Nelly Furtado f/ Timbaland- Promiscuous
