The 13 Best Albums of 2006

A few days ago I wasn't planning on writing a Best of 2006 list, and then I looked back through my old posts and realized how many amazing albums were released this year. So, in hopes of bringing a few new listeners to some great bands, I changed my mind and put together a list.

And since I couldn't narrow it down to ten albums, I went with thirteen - my lucky number. So, without further ado, here they are (in alphabetical order).
