Amy's Top Albums of 2006 (as received and reviewed by December 31, 2006)
These are listed in no particular order, other than Andrea Perry's Rivers of Stars is my absolute favorite of the year. I have never previously picked one album as my favorite, but this year there was one I just want everyone to own. I got it in September and still can’t stop listening to it everyday. Gregory Douglass' Up and Away is a close second, very close. The rest are in no order at all.
The way I chose them is to look at the whole list of reviews and select out only the ones who made it into my personal rotation. There are others that I reviewed this year that I enjoyed a lot as well. But if I had used only that criteria my list would hold 50 or more instead of 20.
I also decided this year, not to distinguish between major label releases and Indies. If I loved it, I loved it. That’s it.
And now my favorite reviewed albums this year...
