Last part of
Randy's favorite albums of 2006
Expect my top 100 singles and a little bit more reminiscing soon! also the "worst" lists are coming so you better stay tuned!
05. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
OK so she would be probably be #1 if it wasn't for such a ****** 1st single. I had high expectations for this album and I don't know what prompted Gwen to release such a ****** song like Wind It Up. Maybe it was the pregnancy or something, I mean how could she go from gems like Bathwater to...that?
Anyway as much as I dislike Wind It Up I love the rest of the album and I actually think it's better than L.A.M.B. yeah sue me. Fun, stupid, catchy songs that you can sing along to. But yeah she DOES need to go back to No Doubt before she loses all credibility as an artist.

1. Yummy
2. Don't Get it Twisted
3. U Started It
4. The Sweet Escape
5. Breakin Up
04. Fort Minor - The Rising Tied
And i hate myself for loving this? I hate Linkin Park to death and I never thought something this good would come out of it. Maybe that other dude is what makes Linkin Park awful. Anyway this album is brilliant! There's not one bad song and the production is amazing. A must have for every hip-hop fan out there.

03. Simon Webbe - Sanctuary / Grace
My biggest musical discovery of the year and I'll be forever thankful to NG for it.
I couldn't separate these 2 albums because they're basically the same. I'm soo glad Blue broke up allowing Simon to pursue a solo career and release these gems. He's got such a sweet, soulful voice with lyrics anyone can relate to. I think he needs to try his luck in the U.S. as I can see him topping american charts.

01. Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang
I bought this album only because I had a few bucks to spare and I never imagined it would be this good. At first I wasn't very fond of it but soon I realized how awesome it is. Not a bad song in it, and it's one of those albums you can listen to over and over and over and never get sick of it. I got it in August and I still listen to it once or twice a day. It's that good.
