Top 10 2006: The Return of the Jerk

So, as many of you have pointed out, I haven't been updating this blog much lately. Aside from general jerkiness, that can be attributed to busyness at work and at home with a bunch of car trouble and the attendant hassles.

Hence, I bring you, nearly halfway through February, my Top 10 Albums of 2006 list. And yeah, I know Rolling Stone had theirs up two months ago, but they also put Justin Timberlake in a wet T-shirt on their cover, so we'll just call it even. Here are my picks, for what it's worth:

Top 10:

AFI: Decemberunderground
Bouncing Souls: The Gold Record
Bob Dylan: Modern Times
Greg Graffin: Cold as the Clay
My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade
Pearl Jam: Pearl Jam
Tom Petty: Highway Companion
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Stadium Arcadium
Rise Against: The Sufferer & the Witness
Tool: 10,000 Days

Honorable Mentions:

Soul Asylum: The Silver Lining
The Strokes: First Impressions of Earth
Thursday: A City By the Light Divided
Taking Back Sunday: Louder Now
Pete Yorn: Nightcrawler

Now that you've read those, feel free to chime in with your own, or dispute mine - hey, even though I'm obviously right, I know none of you will agree with all my picks. So please offer up your incorrect opinions. Man, apparently I'm feeling extra-jerky today. Must be the weather.
