i'm close to reverting #1 back to belle & sebastian. it's very close. i think it's the crane wife trilogy that doesn't do it as much for me as the rest of the album. picture unclear. i want to come to some determination before i see the decemberists in concert mid-november, which will possibly bias this battle.

hummin'-comin'-up are new stuff by m.ward, yo la tengo and ben kweller, but it's going to be pretty tough at this point for anyone to pierce the top 21.

In no particular order as of this very moment...

Josh Ritter - Animal Years
M. Ward - Post War
Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Mogwai - Mr. Beast
Ray LaMontagne - Til the Sun Turns Black
Mates of State - Bring it Back
Alexi Murdoch - Time Without Consequence
Built to Spill - You in Reverse
Submarines - Declare a New State
Roots - Game Theory

So Damien's going to be in there somewhere, top 10, probably. I also forgot about Band of Horses, which I'd put top 10 as well. I guess I've got some figuring out to do.

Link's not working, but I'd like to check this out.

Also, are people gonna count that Tom Waits box? Technically, I guess we could since I think the bulk of it is unrealeased/new recordings. Seems kinda unfair, though. Plus it's ridiculously expensive ($45-50? Come on, Tom).

I'll try and sort it out. I put the Tom Waits under the runner-ups/REISSUES cat. I think just the Bawlers cd would have a shot at no 1 if we could count as 2006.

Balls, i just lost my post. Dunno man, if you could call the waits as 2006 record, just the bawlers cd would have a shot at No 1 i think. Links should be sorted and the rest to follow.
