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.

Ck out Blessed Yes' song called Trace on their web site or their myspace site. They are a local band here in Baton Rouge. They ROCK!
Going #1 next yr, you watch.
My choice of best "Indie" music.
Takes you back to late 60's/early 70's. Yet has a timeless quality. May be light fare for some of you guys. But surely better than alot of junk we have nowadays.
I love em.

I think this is 2005, but has anybody heard Sufjan Stevens's "Come On Feel the Illinois"? Great title, and it's one of the most interesting and experimental pop/??? cds I've heard in decades.
