The GMs Top 10 for 2006

I know we're not going to launch the blog until the countdown starts on the 14th, but I couldn't resist sharing my Top 10 Albums of 2006. They're in no particular order, but if you looked at my iPod Most Played list I think they would line up pretty much this way.

1. Scissor Sisters/Ta-Da

2. Sid N Susie/Under the Covers Vol. 1

3. Robert Randolph and the Family Band/Colorblind -

4. Bruce Springsteen/We Shall Overcome-The Seeger Sessions

5. The Pipettes/We are the Pipettes

6. Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band/Hammersmith Odeon, London '75

7. Various Artists/Perfecto Chills Volume 3

8. James Hunter/People Gonna Talk

9. Gnarls Barkley/St. Elsewhere

10. G. Love and Special Sauce/Lemonade

I'm not sure if or where these records will fall on the countdown but they've given me a lot of joy this year. Check out the Perfecto Chill series. On this one there are some really inventive remixes of Badly Drawn Boy, Imogen Heap and others.
