Off the top of my head, I've only bought 5 2006 releases, which makes my list easier to compile:

Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Easy Star All Stars - Radiodread
Pipettes - We are the...
Bell X1 - Flock
Grandaddy - Just like the Fambly Cat


There are probably a couple others that sneak into 2006, if I think a little harder about it.

You played one album 78 times in a year?
I odnt understand how anyone could listin to an album that much in that space of time even my all time favoite albums would be lucky to get 10 a year

78 individual track plays (I believe) is that stat ... which surprises me as I am sure I listened to 10,000 days a lot more ...

Don1

1. Incubus - Light Grenades (assumption as it's in the post!)
2. Tool - 10,000 Days
3. Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
4. The Living End - State of Emergency
5. The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out



Shortlisted:
Eagles if Death Metal - Death By Sexy

Whata bad year for albums.

Christ Illusion - Slayer
10, 000 Days - Tool
Evilion - Vanity
If I heard that Stream of PAssion one probably that one too.

People are different. I listened to an album 8am-5pm non stop for three weeks before, boring job.
Usually I could listen to a song hundreds of times in a row without feeling the need to change it.

Fairly recently I listened to a song for a week, went to the concert and missed that song.

Stompbox

Have to agree there,I listen to alooot of music.

My Top 5:
1.The Kooks:InsideIn/Inside Out
2.The Fratellis:Costello Music
3.Muse:Black Holes And Revelations
4.Bell X1: Flock
5.The Killers:Sams Town

We Are Scientists - Crap Attack
The Magic Numbers - Those the Brokes

Don't have a top 5 as I don't really buy much "new" music these days...

was thinking of getting the new Jarvis Cocker album though - anyone heard it yet?

I've been rediscovering the brilliance of Pulp lately and picked up their deluxe edition re-issues of His 'n' Hers and Different Class today.

Creamy Goodness

definitely was a slow one.

but here's my list anyways

1. Sucioperro - Random Acts Of Intimacy.
2. Muse - Black Holes And Revelations.
3. Sufjan Stevens - Avalanche.
4. iForward Russia! - Give Me A Wall.
5. The Spinto Band - Nice And Nicely Done.

1. Muse - Black holes & Revelations.
2. Delays - You See Colours.
3. Roddy Woomble - My Secret Is My Silence.
4. AFI - December Underground.
5. Killers - Sam's Town.

MrJoeSoap

1. Berkeley - In Moments
2. Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
3. Audioslave - Revelations

Didn't fall in love with it at first, I'll admit, but having seen it performed live I can't stop listening to it now.

Superb. Both albums are beautifully packaged with new photos and liner notes from the man himself, but most importantly contain some absolute gems on the second discs. Bloody expensive though considering that's all I was after - €25 each! I should have bought them online and usually I would have, but in this instance I just had to have them right away. It says they're remastered as well but I can't say yet if there's any major improvements.

Heisenberg.
