Good list. One of his top ten is on my top ten.

Two of his top 10 picks are in my top 5 for 2006 -- Dixie Chicks and Joseph Arthur. Though it would be nice to see Twilight Singers' "Powder Burns" on more end of year lists.

Got that at Tower for 25 cents, and don't like it at all. Even with Joseph Arthur guesting on it. Sorry.

Top Ten from  The Wire (http://www.thewire.co.uk):
 
 1. Burial - s/t
 2. Scott Walker - The Drift
 3. Joanna Newsom - Ys
 4. Carla Bozulich - Evangelista
 5. Wolf Eyes - Human Animal
 6. Ornette Coleman - Sound Grammar
 7. Ekkehard Ehlers - A Life Without Fear
 8. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - The Letting Go
 9. Om - Conference Of The Birds
 10. Phill Niblock - Touch Three
 
 The Wire had Scritti Politi "White Bread Black Beer" at #11 while Freedom honorably mentions it. That's the extent of their common ground.
 
 I have the Wolf Eyes in my piles of Tower purchases and the Newsom on loan from the library.

I could probably add several of those to the unlistenable thread, if I had access to the whole album. And add Bobbie Prince Billy to the unwatchable thread, haha.
