That time has come yet again—the time when I subject the world to my top ten albums of the year. So, without further ado, my top ten of 2006, in semi-particular order:

01. Neko Case – Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
02. Morrissey – Ringleader of the Tormentors
03. Camera Obscura – Let's Get Out of This Country
04. Snow Patrol – Eyes Open
05. Silversun Pickups – Carnavas
06. Damien Rice – 9
07. Phoenix – It's Never Been Like That
08. Belle & Sebastian – The Life Pursuit
09. Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan – Ballad of the Broken Seas
10. Rocky Votolato – Makers

My ten favorite singles of the year:

01. TV on the Radio – "Wolf Like Me"
02. Damien Rice – "9 Crimes"
03. Bon Savants – "Between the Moon and the Ocean"
04. Camera Obscura – "If Looks Could Kill"
05. Phoenix – "Long Distance Call"
06. Neko Case – "Star Witness"
07. Jose González – "Heartbeats"
08. The Shins – "Phantom Limb"
09. Asobi Seksu – "New Years"
10. Calexico – "Cruel"

Biggest disappointment of the year:

The Stills – Without Feathers
