I listen to a lot of music. But I listen to a lot of music made ALL over the place, timewise. I'm usually not real sure when a record is released cause I grab lots of stuff from the library, or eMusic (and none of the eMusic has the sweet herion high providing liner notes). So I'm not real sure which records got released this year. So here's my list of the top 5 records released this year (i think), which i heard, that I like, in order.
1) Ghostface's Fishscale.
2) Portastatic's Be Still Please
3) M. Ward's Post War
4) Yo La Tengo's I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass
5) Constantine's Tournament of Hearts
Sorta weak though - cause if I look at that list that is 5 of only 8 records that I've listened to that I know came out this year. Ok 9, if you count the 4 Wolfmother songs I heard riding in a friends car. That was pretty awesome.
{edit: the one's i didn't include were: Neko's Fox confessor, Ani's new one, and Rassmussen's Condemnation EP}
And in terms of masterpieces only the top 2 will be forever. The other's, i'm sad to say have some skipable tracks for me. but you can't win them all - and look at all the goodness around.
I hope Myku pops in right here and gives us his thoughts.

I can't really comment too much on the best of 2006 because I haven't heard as much new music lately, but from your list here I can say that both Yo La Tengo's new one and Fishscale are off the chain and have gotten buckets-full of airplay by yours truly. Really, the more albums I get by Ghost, the more enriched my life becomes....
