The Albums That Kelly Wore Out in 2006
Last.FM Don’t Lie (Like I Probably Would):
The Top 11 Albums That I Wore Out In 2006
By: Kelly Reeves
Also, I'm not a player I just crush a lot so there's a section for that too. Without further ado.....
11. ¡Forward,Russia! – Give Me A Wall
My band crush: Drummer Katie Nicholls. She must be one tough chick to tour with all those dudes! And c'mon the drums? Nice!
+ See concert photos & their cute matching shirts on Spinner
+ ¡Forward, Russia! on the Hype Machine
10. Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
My band crush: Lead singer/guitarist /pianist Matthew Bellamy. Especially on record when you can hear him taking a deep breath. I love that!
+ More on Muse at Myspace
+ Watch 'Knights of Cydonia' UK Sessions video at Spinner
+ Muse on the Hype Machine
9. Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
My band crush: Duh.
+ Neko Interview on Pitchfork Media
+ More on An Aquarium Drunkard
+ Neko Case on the Hype Machine
8. Girl Talk - Night Ripper
I don't know much about the fine art of mixing and/or mash-ups, but I do know that seeing Greg Gillis live was one of the sweatiest shows I attended all year. Instant dance party! The plus of this album? Thinking of Night Ripper first (rather than Ciara) when hearing her songs...which is inevitable when working at AOL Music.
My band crush: No comment.
Agree? Disagree? Pick a fight with me below.+ More on An Aquarium Drunkard

7. Mew - Mew And The Glass Handed Kites
Of all the wonderful Interface podcasts we have recorded this year, Mew's was one of my absolute favorites. I simply fell in love with this Danish band's dreamy album.
My band crush: Guitarist Bo Madsen ...but only when he had THIS mustashe.

6. Malajube - Trompe-L'oeil
This French-Canadian band dishes out upbeat indie pop-rock. Scott & Amrit dubbed them a 'Band To Watch' in August and am I ever so glad. I mean, I can't understand a word they're saying but it's catchy so I love it!
My band crush: Keyboardist/Vocalist Thomas Augustin. What a cutie. I don't know if I should admit this but I actually took his picture when seeing them live. (Note: I am not a blogger or a professional photographer) OK. I shouldn't have said that. Don't judge me. Admire him HERE. He shows up at about 1:00 and is the one doing the cute yelling.

+ More on Malajube on Stereogum
+ Malajube on the Hype Machine
20-year-old Zach Condon burst onto the scene out of nowhere and exploded this year. With good reason as 'Gulag Orkestar' is stellar. I adore this album. Ukuleles, Trumpets and Accordions! Oh My!
My band crush: The ukulele.

4. My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
I really didn't want to like 'The Black Parade.' However, something made me listen and then I just couldn't stop myself from playing it over and over. What can I say? I love dramatics. (Note: see #10)
My band crush: I haven't really perused photos of the band to pick a favorite so I'm going with THIS Gerard for now.

3. The Sounds - Dying To Say This To You
For a few solid months, this album was my weekday 6pm album. Whenever I was dragging, I would blast 'Dying To Say This To You' at my cube and it would fill me with the energy to plug out a few more hours of work.
My band crush: Frontwoman Maja Ivarsson. She's just so darn cute, tiny & charismatic.

2. Jonezetta - Popularity
A fun, dancy album. This Clinton, Mississippi band delivered two of my most listened to tracks of the year: 'Backstabber' and 'Hot Machete.' You simply won't be able to sit still!
My band crush: Guitarist Kyle Howe.

1. Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope
While I admit that I'm not the biggest Regina fan due to her extreme quirkiness at times, I absolutely love this album. It does something for me. With standout opening tracks, I was hooked from the beginning. 'Samson'? Simply stunning. There's no denying that the girl can sing. I just like her so much better when she's doing the singing and not the clucking, etc.
My band crush: Regina when she's not making super odd noises or saying completely random lyrics. Tell me a story!

I think My Chemical Romance is awesome! There actually my new fav band. I think that Frankie Iero is really cool too. I like him more than I do Gerard. But, try listening to Dischanted, its one of my fav songs from mcr. P.S. House of Wolves and Teenagers are really cool songs too
