Acclaimed Music Top 30 Albums from 2006 poll

the other clear winners are cat power and beirut

pat cower

i really really hated that beirut album, it probably led me to postpone quitting tobacco

St. Elsewhere: the best OutKast album of 2006.

well, cee-lo is dungeon family after all..

grab your ticket! (tickeeeeeet)

I quite like "Smiley Faces" myself. I tend to think 2006 stands up better as a 'singles' year, but I've never listened to Ys either

yup! "smiley faces" is great! dunno why "crazy" got all the attention, it's good and all, but "smiley faces" could have used at least half of that heat. feel like "crazy" reached near "all-star" level ubiquity, which kind of spoiled everything I guess, but there are at least four tracks on that record that are as good or better.

even today, I was living in a studio apartment in Portland months ago and the only noise I heard from the neighbor was either very loud sex or a lady running thru her cover of "crazy".

but what about "feng shui"?

this really doesn't feel like 10 years ago...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Burial, Ys and Van Occupanther. To be fair, and given what came after, even Midlake seem a little baffled by how transcendent Van Occupanther is.

The knife album might be my favorite from this last decade.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i think this is the first time ever that a number one on this Acclaimed list that got zero votes, could be wrong though.

i need to investigate this Scott Walker album.

i missed this, i would have gone for the eraser. that's the kind of electronic music that touches me.

Just remembered last night that Yo La Tengo's I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU AND I WILL BEAT YOUR ASS was not included, would've voted for that. Amazing record, by far their best.
