You hipsters always abandon bands as soon as they are on top.

Of their top 30, only one will make my top 10.

let me guess:

3 Hell Hath No Fury by Clipse 2006 91

what do i win?!

That album's borderline fuckin' amazin'. Making you feel empathy for someone that moves yay is a new emotion in hip-hop . . . .

As opposed to your normal drug dealer tales in hip-hop which are built on bravado, there's a moral spin/fiber to the rhymes on the Clipse's album. In laymen's terms, by the end of the album, you empathize with the "Bad Guy". (i.e. Rooting for Tony Soprano, even though he bludgeons cats for a living.) Hope that clears it up for you . . .

Move yay = selling cocaine for profit

Any others?

Who besides Brennser and myself are talking this album up? For me it's a solid four star record that isn't going to change the world, but the song writing and arrangements are solid. It's also one of those that takes a couple times to sink in records…. Besides nkotbie is a Andrew W.K. fan so what do you expect ;)

My overrated choice is The Raconteurs… It's just not a good as it could have been.

What didn't you like about the Raconteurs album???? I thought it was pretty hot. Classic, no. But definitely hot. A solid album. Which aside of Wolfmother, I couldn't say for a lotta rock albums this year. Even Tool's new album was kinda eh . . . But I guess when you drop albums like theirs, there's gotta be a plateau somewhere.

Director217, how many Red Bulls have you had today?

ouch! there goes my street cred…..I don't think its that abd but I do admit to selectively listening tto only a couple of songs on it…..but honestly Quiet as a Mouse may be the single best song of the year for me and boring it ain't!

i was really rEaLlY ReAlLy REALLY looking forward to hearing the Raconteurs album, being a long time fan of Brendan Benson and whats his name…. However, the record was a huge letdown and disappointment. Besides the obvious singles it sounds unfinished and like a bunch of demos. It may rAwk but it's half assed effort from a talented bunch… Wolfmother did the better job releasing a Raconteurs album then they did.

If you want the RaWk checkout the new Cheap Trick, Keene Brothers and As Fast As…

I'm going to go with that Band of Horses record. A couple of good moments (The Funeral, The Great Salt Lake), and a lot of filler, I thought.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs was this year, right? Gads, it is all the songs that I disliked on the first album.

The Beatles "Love". I don't know, it just seems "wrong".

i second and third this … every brendan benson solo album and every white stripes album is better than the raconteurs album … not a good sign for a "super band"

Well, I have, too…. But you guys were certainly the pioneers.

I forgot about that one, mostly because after 2-3 spins I decided I didn't like it and it disappeared.

I had the sinking feeling the minute the add reply button was clicked that there other talking up those So & So's, but couldn't remember who they were. Old age is a bitch…

LOL. None. Just getting buzzed off the cocktail known as work, boredom, free time, & high-speed net access.

Stadium Aracadium - RHCP… I am done with this band.. finished..

word. boring. i gave it to a friend after a few listens. double albums are a no-no in the first place and this album makes the case for a federal prohibition on them.

Right here buddy.

Not the best album in the world. Not my favorite of '06. But it's relatively solid, and they are great live.

I guess all opinions are subjective.

Check out this review from popmatters about Margot @ CMJ:

MARGOT AND THE NUCLEAR SO AND SOS @ Rebel
An appearance by Thax Douglas signals that this is a Chicago band, big and orchestrated like Head of Femur, sweetly fractious like Bound Stems. The hall is packed just for them, full of 20-something college djs who can sing along to their baroque-pop ditties. Itâ??s bland, emo-leaning stuff, though, made mildly entertaining by the antics of an auxiliary percussionist, who bangs the bass drum taiko style and executes a simian tambourine dance. Nothing special but, given the rapid fans, quite possibly about to be huge.
