Wowzers! Ultimate Best of 2006 list
Tagged under: Indie, Links, Music
Compiling a best-of best-of 2006 lists may seem a little redundant but Italian blog Indie for Bunnies has collated top 10 albums of 2006 lists from 236 individual music bloggers (including this one) and made an admirable top 100 chart of the results with quotes and mp3s and all. It’s definitely worth a look, as you never know what you might find. I, for example was always put off by the name, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (sounds so depressing) but I like the tune “Young Shields” , so maybe it’s worth some investigation.
Here’s the top 10:
#10 - Midlake - The Trials Of Van Occupanther ( Bella Union )
#9 - The Knife - Silent Shout ( Rabid )
#8 - Hot Chip - The Warning ( Astralwerks )
#7 - Band Of Horses - Everything All The Time ( Sub Pop )
#6 - Destroyer - Destroyer’s Rubies ( Merge )
#5 - Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit ( Matador )
#4 - Thom Yorke - The Eraser (XL Recordings )
#3 - The Decemberists - The Crane Wife ( Capitol )
#2 - Joanna Newsom - YS ( Drag City )
#1 - TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain ( 4ad )
Plenty to chew over here: 100 - 76 | 75 - 51 | 50 - 26 | 25 - 11 | 10 - 1
Right, no more mentions of best of lists, starting …………..now.
A similar effort I did back in Dec. http://blog.andrewparker.net/2.....m-of-2006/
