Bah. No Lily Allen?

I thought that Peeping Tom album was really dissappointing, I can't believe they've ranked it so high...

I hated the Peeping Tom album at first. It took getting really baked and listening to it in headphones to realize how good it is. It's a completely different album from stereo to headphones.

lilly allen is going to be on my big in '06 list for sure!

forgot about pere ubus why i hate women... that has to be in the top 5 of the year....

yeeeh!
Unfortunately Fergie's debut is quite shitty... too much "R'n'B wannabe".

fergielicious!!! it makes me giggle, her solo music.

How often does she rap? I love her rappin' voice.

I'm sure I've asked this before, but who is Fergie?

girl with the black eyed peas

Thanks. I tried googling but lots of stuff about Sarah Ferguson comes up.

would i be ostricized if i were to say
hold steady:boys and girls in america

I do not understand at all how people like the Melvins so much. They have got to be the most boring, metallica-sounding metal shit around ever.

Peeping Tom is awful.

LOTS of good music this year, too much to list, all the old faves brought back the hits and some new bands rocked too, but my favorite album was giddy motors - do easy. so there.

i just did a review of do easy, it's a great album.

Blood Mountain by Mastadon was my favorite album of the year.

Comets on Fire's Avatar has been my favorite album released this year.
