New Wave Outpost Forum

I know a similar thread was started, but I wanted a seperate thread where everyone can list their top 10 new albums of 2006.

Here's mine:

1. TIM FINN/Imaginary Kingdom

2. RIGHT SAID FRED/For Sale
This vid is a song called 'Cry' from the album, although it's only the music laid over concert footage so it's not exactly a 'video' for the song. Still, a good way to hear what they sound like (and it's nothing like 'I'm Too Sexy'!)

3. THE FEELING/Twelve Stops & Home

4. THE RUBINOOS/Twist Pop Sin
http://youtube.com/watch?v=C8tPV5HFM4w

This is a vid put together by the Rubes for their 'Go Go Tokyo' song. NOt the best track on the album, but the only song on youtube to be taken from the album!


5. BMX BANDITS/My Chain

No real good vids here, either. There's a silly one for the album's instrumental "I'm Still Hungry" (not representative of the album) plus two live performances of songs from the album...

7. PHIL JUDD/Mr. Pudd & His Novelty Act

8. ORDINARY BOYS/How To Get Everything You Want In Ten Easy Steps
http://youtube.com/watch?v=n7oxcS2h5W4


9. SILVER SUN/Dad’s Weird Dream
No vids available from this album, but there are some cool live tracks taken from their previous album. Both of these clips were filmed this year and although they are NOT on the new album, they are very representative of the band's style.
