I'm tempted to get that Lily Allen album. Is the rest of it as good as "LDN"?
Here are my candidates - aka, the 2006 CDs I've heard in their entirety - so far:
Mono - You Are There
Roger Joseph Manning Jr. - The Land of Pure Imagination
Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther
Mogwai - Mr. Beast
Calexico - Garden Ruin
Chris Thile - How to Grow a Woman From the Ground
Sean Watkins - Blinders On
Gomez - How We Operate
Ani Difranco - Reprieve
Anathallo - Floating World
Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope
What Made Milwaukee Famous - Trying to Never Catch Up (expanded version)
Mew - And the Glass-Handed Kites (well, 2006 in the U.S.)
Mason Jennings - Boneclouds
Ditty Bops - Moon Over the Freeway
Brian Vander Ark - Angel, Put Your Face On
Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
This would be my tentative top five:
Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Ditty Bops - Moon Over the Freeway
Mew and the Glass-Handed Kites
Gomez - How We Operate
Roger Joseph Manning Jr. - The Land of Pure Imagination
Honorable mentions: Chris Thile, Mogwai, Midlake
