Albums of the Year

The people over at KansasCity.com have already sounded off on their picks for the year’s best albums — except for Jim Kilroy, who preferred instead to list his top 10 favorite Club Wars winners. That’s just too rich.

Our final report (top 10 or so local albums, with compelling commentary) will be in our December 28 issue. Don’t miss it. Until then, we’re welcoming recommendations. In addition to albums that were released, we might like to highlight songs by bands (most necessarily new) who didn’t put out an album this year. Help us out with that, too.

Here’s a quick list of the good (and not so good) rekkids ’06 brought us.
