In no particular order here are some of my favorite albums that came out in 2006 and, so far, in 2007.
- TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain - The best rock album I have heard in nearly a decade. Experimental, yet traditional these Brooklyn based guys managed to get a fan to lend his vocals for their first major release...a fan named David Bowie. This IS my favorite album of the year.
- The Roots - Game Theory - The Legendary come back with a dark and deep album. Their most socially conscious work to date, but never too preachy and Malik B. makes a triumphant return.
Edan - Beauty and the Beat - Came out in '05, but I still listen to this album as if it just came out yesterday. Take Big Daddy Kane, Jimi Hendrix, Prince Paul, Led Zeppelin and throw them in a stew. Cook. Stir. You have Edan.- El-P - I'll Sleep when you're Dead - I haven't heard all of it yet, but the few tracks I have heard have me drooling over the Brooklyn hip hop anarchist's second album.
- Ghostface - More Fish - Actually better than the more popular Fishscale. The Amy Winehouse collab on "You Know I'm No Good" is in heavy rotation on my Ipod.
