Best "album" of 2006

I know we are only 6 weeks into 2006, but what are your best albums of 2006. I remember in the past, certain print magazines claiming Wilco YFH and Bright Eyes I'm wide awake ... were the best albums of those years as early as January. So, for fun ... what 2006 CD or LP is constantly rotating in your system.

For me, NME has finally got it right... the Arctic Monkeys are living up to their hype ... great CD ... between the 17 feet of new snow in Whistler during January and the Arctic Monkeys playing inside my Giro Fuse helmet, I couldn't erase the smile off my face.

Other good early albums:
Cat Power ... the greatest
Belle & Sebastian The Life Pursuit
Beth Orton Comfort of Strangers
Jenny Lewis with the Watson twins Rabbit Fur Coat

I need to slow down on my CD purchases ... THere is not enough time to listen to my older CD's from 2005.

Definitely, Calixeco's newest Garden Ruin will make it to the end of 2006 as one of the year's best, as will Neko Case. Fox Confessor Brings The Flood.

For a sonic workout of your speakers and amps, I am impressed with the Fiery Furnaces last CD: Bitter Tea. (they are back on track after their last slip up) THe only problem is that it probably is too long and could have been edited a bit.
