Well, it is almost time for my favourite albums of 2006 list, but before that I feel that a post covering some of the worst records of the year and maybe one on old classics re-discovered too maybe.
So. Worst/Most Disappointing records of the year?
Paul Stanley - Live to Win
Oh no, tears are falling ... and alas Paul these are not tears of joy. This really isn't a very a good album. A collection of very average pop rock tunes, which thankfully only lasts just over 30 minutes.
Panic at the Disco - A Fever you can't sweat out
Too clever by half - or at least they think they are. Some amusing lyrics, but the album is just too samey musically. I reckon they have a great album in them, this just isn't it.
The Ordinary Boys - How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted in Ten Easy Steps
A few years ago the Ordinary boy's debut album ' Over the counter culture' filled me with great hope. A nice mix between the Jam and Ska, blended into jolly pop tunes (good live too). Now since singer Preston's appearance on celebrity Big Brother, his marriage to Chantel who he met on there, and the band have become, well, shite really.
Nina Gordon - Bleeding Heart Graffiti
This isn't a bad album, but I must admit I was expecting better. Her first solo album 'Tonight and the rest of my life' was a delightful pop record. This one, isn't bad, but it's also a bit average and could frankly be any one of a hundred artists. Sad.

What did you think of the new Who cd? I was very underwhelmed.
