Top 100 of... 2006? WTF?!?

Yes yes, as you all know the end of the year is nearing and it's time for everybody who's anybody to release their top 4125f2985 albums of 2007 list. But before I do that, I want to re-visit 2006 and do my list all over again, because well... I don't really agree with it at all.

I find it incredibly difficult, neigh impossible, to make a definitive list. I always find myself disagreeing with myself in a few weeks time, let alone a whole year passing by allowing each album and myself to age differently. Also, I found an album that wasn't even from 2006 on the list :(

Anyway, down below you'll see my new and improved list. By each rank there will be a parenthesis to the side of it. In it will either be its ranking from last year, or a dash '-' signifying that it wasn't even on the list.

So here it is folks. My top 100 albums of 2006. Hopefully I didn't miss anything, but to be fair, it doesn't really matter because I hardly listen to even half of these albums somewhat regularly.
