Top 6 CDs of 2006
This was a tough list to make, since between Michelle and I we must have bought thirty discs this year. Though some of her discs (Josh Groban, Faith Hill) I doubt I will ever listen to. So, in more or less random order:

1. Angels and Airwaves, We Don't Need To Whisper. Blink-18who? Recommended track: Start the Machine
2. Beck, The Information. Hey, wasn't he on last year's list? That's alright, I'll include him any time he cares to make an album. Rec Track: Think I'm In Love (But It Makes Me Kind of Nervous to Say So)
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stadium Arcadium. It's not their fault that radio is playing this to death. Rec. Track: If
4. Rob Zombie, Educated Horses. It inspired art. Rec. Track: Foxy Foxy
5. Johnny Cash, American V-A Hundred Highways. The Edmonton Sun's Fish Griwkowsky gave it five stars, saying he automatically grants this rating to any disc that makes him cry. I agree. Rec. Track: God's Gonna Cut You Down
6. Loreena McKennit, An Ancient Muse. Did you know she sounds exactly the same live, if not better? Rec. Track: Beneath A Phrygian Sky

Honorable Mention goes to The Tragically Hip for World Container, which gets better with every listen.
