The Top Ten
Sam's Town - The Killers
The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

I love them and would do anything for them. This album tells a story and addresses a lot of problems: teenage violence, cancer, his grandmother's death, and realizing that everybody dies one day.

My Chemical Romance FOREVER.

I love this one so much. It saved my life. Thank you, My Chemical Romance. I love you for making this record.
My Chemical Romance forever.

Dude, they have to be in the top 10! This band saved my life!

10,000 Days - Tool

A very good way to introduce someone to the metal scene. Yet again, this is very far from most traditional metal... Still a great album though.

Vicarious and The Pot are amazing masterpieces, and this album is the best of 2006.
