‘Tis the Season….. For Top 10 Lists

December 28, 2006 in Music by Aaron | No comments

The Washington Post’s music critic, Josh Freedom du Lac published his top 10 CDs list for 2006 today, and it’s interesting to say the least. For those who can’t get the article directly (you have to be registered) here it is:

1. Taking The Long Way Dixie Chicks - “Taking The Long Way”

2. American V: A Hundred Highways Johhny Cash - “American V: A Hundred Highways”

3. Nashville Solomon Burke - “Nashville”

4. Animal Years Josh Ritter - “The Animal Years”

5. Hell Hath No Fury Clipse - “Hell Hath No Fury”

6. Modern Times (Deluxe Edition With Bonus DVD) Bob Dylan - “Modern Times”

7. Whatever People Say I Am, That\'s What I\'m Not Arctic Monkeys - “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not”

8. Pick a Bigger Weapon The Coup - “Pick a Bigger Weapon”

9. Rabbit Fur Coat Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - “Rabbit Fur Coat”

10. Nuclear Daydream Joseph Arthur - “Nuclear Daydream”

I personally have 5 of the CDs on this list (Dixie Chicks, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Arctic Monkeys & Jenny Lewis) and would easily recommend all of them. My favorite out of the 5 is the Arctic Monkey’s CD, which may be the best pop/rock CD I’ve bought all year. But to be fair I am also a HUGE Johnny Cash fan, and love the fact that Bob Dylan keeps finding ways to re-invent and re-introduce himself to new audiences.
