No love for Ghostface? Shame, y'all.

Thank God 4 this album....it was a breath of fresh air. Just when U think true artistry is dead, someone comes out and gives U hope.

Beautiful. I haven't been this much into a new album in ages.

Can't wait to get my hands on Air's 'Pocket Symphony'.

I like it too. That and the Regina Spektor album would round out my top 3.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stadium Arcadium


30 Seconds To Mars, A Beautiful Lie (technically 2005)


Dixie Chicks, Taking The Long Way

Two too many. What was your #1?

CinisterCee said:

Oops, I didn't realize it was just 1 you wanted. I would say The Dixie Chicks

stim said:

This is the album that Jarvis Cocker wrote most of the lyrics for right? I heard about it on another thread (maybe from you actually ) Odd that she would have him write most of the lyrics for her. They don't sound like typical Jarvis lyrics though, which is interesting.

Funny because I was just watching this documentary about Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin and slowly realized that she was their daughter.

There are some cool pics of her w/ Jarvis on her site though.

For Fishscale and More Fish. But On The Jungle Floor is my personal fave of the year.

Grabbed me harder than any other album released in 2006; also got me back into Pearl Jam in a big way. After 6 months of repeated listens, it might not be quite on the level of No Code/Vitalogy/VS, but still remains my favorite album of '06.

I liked this one for sure, just not my #1. Although the Whip You With A Strap beat is on Donuts ("One For Ghost").

CinisterCee said:

For me, it's a SERIOUS TIE BETWEEN

GHOSTFACE KILLAH "FISHSCALE" and
J-DILLA "DONUTS"

and 2005 don't care still listening to this day

Sorry I couldn't pick one

fishscale was tight

CinisterCee said:

OK, let's just say 'Pet Shop Boys Fundamental' to make things easy...

Sorry Cee, but it was a tie....

Have you seen the movie Shut Up and Sing? It made me a fan.

heartbeatocean said:

No, I missed it It was only in select theatres and the closest to me was 70 miles away. I was priviledge to be one of the 100 fans to go to the taping of VH1 Storytellers, for free, back in September. I got to sit in the front row, in front of Martie!!!! I've been a long time fan since their first album on a major label, "Wide Open Spaces"

Janfriend said:

If you're already a fan, you'll LOVE the movie! It'll come out on DVD, I'm sure. It features songs from Taking The Long Way heavily. I'd say the film is actually about that album and what brought them to it and the journey they had to take to get there. It's great stuff and says a lot about the pain of being an artist. Very moving and meaningful.

i've been curious about that scritti politti album...and i've been seeing stuff about that ghostface killah album more and more lately, so i might have to check that out as well...
