Let's see.. 2006 releases I only bought 7 cd's.. even though I bought a ton of cd's this year, most of them were released a while ago, and if I were to rank them
1. Snow Patrol - Eyes Open
2. Anti-Flag - For Blood And Empire
3. AFI - Decemberunderground
4. A Change Of Pace - Prepare The Masses
5. Less Than Jake - In With The Out Crowd
6. Breaking Benjamin - Phobia
7. Faktion - Faktion
and to be clear.. those top 3 are almost equally great, Prepare The Masses is really good, but not quite as good as the top 3, and the last 3 I was kind of disappointed with when I picked them up (although the only cds I paid full price for were Eyes Open and Prepare The Masses)... Phobia was a big disappointment, mainly because it doesn't show any growth in Breaking Benjamin, Faktion I was going off one song and found it cheap so it wasn't that bad, In With The Out Crowd is better than the bottom two on there, but not near as good as Prepare The Masses...
Actually.. now that I'm interested.. here are how many cd's I own by year of release
1975 - 1
1989 - 1
1993 - 1
1994 - 3
1995 - 1
1996 - 7
1997 - 8
1998 - 3
1999 - 8
2000 - 15
2001 - 18
2002 - 18
2003 - 15
2004 - 12
2005 - 21
2006 - 7
So, the most albums I own were 2005 releases, but I don't think a lot of them were that great
Better Than Ezra - Before The Robots
RENT Soundtrack
Mustard Plug - Masterpieces: 1991-2002
Our Lady Peace - Healthy In Paranoid Times
Better Than Ezra - Greatest Hits
The Producers Soundtrack
Switchfoot - Nothing Is Sound
The Fray - How To Save A Life
Reel Big Fish - We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not
Falling Up - Dawn Escapes
Weezer - Make Believe
Theory Of A Deadman - Gasoline
Alkaline Trio - Crimson
Staind - Chapter V
30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie
Three Doors Down - Seventeen Days
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
The All-American Rejects - Move Along
Default - One Thing Remains
Casting Crowns - Lifesong
Coldplay - X&Y
Yea, that was just a year I bought a lot of cd's.... a lot of them I really didn't care for
In that ranking of those albums.. once you drop past Dawn Escapes, the rest of the list is kind of meh, nothing spectacular except the very top.. Before The Robots, RENT, Masterpieces, and HIPT are the only albums I'd label as great
done my tangent
