KG'S TOP 12 ALBUMS OF 2006
#12 Phoenix - It's Never Been Like That - Phoenix improves with every album.
#11 Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit - The band's best work ever.
#10 Corinne Bailey Rae - Self Titled - She's the female Amos Lee.
#9 Amos Lee - Supply and Demand - He's the male Corinne Bailey Rae.
#8 Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor - One of the best hip hop albums of the decade.
#7 Ray LaMontagne - 'Til the Sun Turns Black - The man has yet to put out a stinker of an album.
#6 Muse - Black Holes and Revelations - A modern Queen Tribute band that perfects what Queen started decades ago.
#5 Guster - Ganging Up on the Sun - Everyone knows that KG loves Guster. No surprise here.
#4 Band of Horses - Everything All the Time - My Morning Jacket's mellower little brother.
#3 Gomez - How We Operate - Gomez finally hits the mainstream with excellent results.
#2 Wolfmother - Self Titled - I realize most people think all I listen to are dudes singing falsetto with an acoustic guitar. Sometimes I want to rock and it quite frequently involves this band.
#1 The Swell Season - The Swell Season - This album is where the magic started.
Honorable Mentions
The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth - Juicebox is a very tasty track.
The Kooks - Inside In / Inside Out - Deserves more listens.
Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat - Country folk
The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers - Jack White and Brendan Benson team up to blow your mind.
k-os - Atlantis - Canadian hip/hop genius is making albums that Wyclef Jean used to make.
Damien Rice - 9 - Not as solid as his debut but contains many a delightful song.
My Morning Jacket - Okonokos - I decided against including live albums in my countdown by MMJ is best heard live and this album is as good as it gets.
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain - Guys, learn the words to Wolf Like Me and impress your Team Jacob wive.
M. Ward - Post War - Chinese Translation is the must listen here.
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere - While watching the band perform on Austin City Limits this past weekend I declared Crazy to be the best song of the decade. Their cover of the Femme's classic Gone Daddy Gone is also fantastic.
Joshua Radin - We Were Here - He should be one of my all time faves but he gets lost in the shuffle. Not sure why because it's a pleasure everytime I hear him.
