My infatuations of the year and future polygamous brides: Lily Allen and Chan Marshall. Congratulations ladies! Hey Cat Power, fetch me my TV tray and put it on my tummy!
The Rapture: you disappointed me but luckily The Infadels kinda put out the album you should have, so ne'er mind.
Why don't more people like Persephone's Bees? Because they're all too busy sucking The Hold Steady's balls, that's why. And on the subject of unwarranted nut-garbling, I'm not going to say I hated Silent Shout, but it sounds like any other electronica/rave album I've heard. Perhaps my ear isn't adequately refined or I'm just getting old and intolerant of albums I have to work at to appreciate.
It's supposedly lame to enjoy Muse because they're so Radioheadesque-ish (listen to Rock Kills Kid and tell me it's not Thom Yorke), but entertaining is entertaining I say. And if you're going to sound so similar to another band Radiohead isn't a bad model.
Happy ought-six everyone. Keep on rockin' and procreatin' in the free world (while it's still free). This was almost a top 100 list, but t'was overkill.

I'm so out of it, music-wise. I haven't heard of 95% of these.
Well you should be happy, you have pletny of potential future enjoyment to delve into :O)
You forgot "Crushing Girls" by Some Girls released in July 2006.
I didn't really forget them, I just never heard them. I'm assuming that's the Juliana Hatfield Some Girls? Not interested in the other Some Girls band.
You assume correctly. Some Girls (Juliana Hatfield, Freda Love Smith, Heidi Gluck) released two records and the last one, "Crushing Love" is better.
Ordered it yesterday. Many thanks ofr the heads-up!
You won't be disappointed, well except for maybe tracks 4 and 5.

the most popular of a class of games called vying games, in which players with
fully or partially concealed cards make wagers into a central pot, which is awarded
to the player or players with the best combination of cards or to the player who makes
an uncalled bet. Poker can also refer to video poker, a single-player game seen in
casinos much like a slot machine, or to other games that use poker hand rankings.
