It's about that time again. I don't really like lists titled "BEST OF" because really, who am I to say? These are just the albums from 2006 that I love the most and have listened to over and over again. To check out many other opinions on the matter, head on over to Largehearted Boy's master compilation of blogs' year end lists. And now, without further ado, my big 13 with accompanying songs. These albums are listed in no particular order. Enjoy!

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Summersong

The Long Winters - Putting The Days To Bed
Teaspoon

The Mountain Goats - Get Lonely
If You See Light

Michael Leviton - My Favorite Place To Drown
I'm In Love With The Tip Of Your Iceberg

The Lovely Feathers - Hind Hind Legs
In The Valley

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
John Saw That Number

Man Man - Six Demon Bag
Push the Eagle's Stomach

Antarctica Takes It! - The Penguin League
Circuits

Two Gallants - What The Toll Tells
Steady Rollin'

The Blow - Paper Television
Parentheses

I wasn't aware of "Kite Flying Society" before this- their song has absolutely catapulted up to my top 10 of the moment. Big ups for putting "Get Lonely" on here... I can't get enough of "Woke Up New." Thanks for this!

Good Lord, Jewlie. I don't think I've seen another favorites list that overlapped my own so much. Hehe.

We rule.

I chose the same Neko song for my end of the year list.

I haven't stopped listening to the Mountain Goats album for around 6 months..and finally got round to buying the Kite Flying Society cd..packed full of great summery songs which make perfect listening on a grey winter's day over here in Liverpool....

Hoping for more great stuff in 2007!

Cheers!
