[kj] The Only Poll That Matters - T.B.'s Favorite Albums of '06

[Alex Smith]

Not that it matters, but Killing Joke themselves count themselves fans of Motorhead and AC/DC (as do *MANY* people here).

Marcos -- you'd do well to change your tone here. You come across like a complete jackass.

>> do enjoy the following in 

>> no real order:

>> 

>> Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadia

>> Raconteurs - The Raconteurs

>> Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam

>> Tool - 10,000 Days

>> The Secret Machines - Ten Silver Drops

>> Wolfmother - Wolfmother

>> Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death

>> Buckcherry - 15

>> Motorhead - Kiss Of Death (best Motorhead album in

>> years)

>> 

>> *These two following albums proved to be my biggest

>> surprises of '07 - 

>> highly recommended.....

>> The Glitterati - The Glitterati

>> Demolition Doll Rods - There Is  A  Difference

>> 

>> Best reissues/remastered cds - the first two albums

>> by The Pretenders

>> 

>> Concerts I caught in '07, all in LA except where

>> noted:

>> 

>> Black Halos (Huntington Beach)

>> The Cult

>> Secret Machines

>> Pitbull Daycare / Revolting Cocks / Ministry

>> Peaches / Bauhaus / Nine Inch Nails (Irvine)

>> Raconteurs

>> The Glitterati / Circus Diablo

>> Groovie Ghoulies / Demolition Doll Rods / The Cramps

>> Guns n' Roses

>> 

>> Best Show:

>> The Cramps and Demolition Doll Rods at the Hollywood

>> House of Blues on 

>> Halloween weekend followed closely by Peaches,

>> Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails 

>> in Irvine at the end of Summer make my best shows of

>> 2006 list. I have to 

>> say I was very pleasantly surprised by the Guns n'

>> Roses show I caught at 

>> the Universal aka Gibson Amphitheater a few weeks

>> ago, the 2nd night of a 3 

>> show stand. Original Izzy Stradlin joined the band

>> 

>> Biggest letdowns:
