My favorite of 2006 so far has to be Lily Allen's 'Alright, Still'. It's just brilliant! I know, I choose it over a lot of of great albums, but I think it totally deserved it.

Hands down, my favorite record of '06 is Neko Case's "Fox Confessor Brings The Flood". Now lay some Ben Folds on me.

I would have to say that my favourite album is probally The Draft - In A Million Pieces
Sounds pretty much like HWM but just a bit more pop to it

Right now my favorite CD of 2006 is Brother, Sister by mewithoutYou

Art Brut's Bang Bang Rock and Roll... Although I believe it was first released in 2005, it didn't make its way over to the states until 06.
And I'll put The Fratellis' Costello Music as the runner up. I don't think that's available in the states, so I'm breaking my own rule here.
