MP3s that appear on this page are available for a limited amount of time; they are posted for illustrative or promotional purposes. Everyone is encouraged to support the artists and buy their work. If you are an artist or artist's representative and object to having the music posted, please contact me at the above e-mail address.

PR Reps/Labels/Bands: At this time, I am not accepting any free product. If I like an album, I'll buy it. (Who would I be to recommend a CD I haven't bought myself?) Links to album streams, MP3s, or myspace pages can be sent to the e-mail address above - though frankly I pay little attention to press releases and their ilk. Sorry.

The 2006 Music Bloggregate

Intro Main Chart

The Music Bloggregate is a weighted survey of bloggers’ published Top Ten Album lists. The 2006 version features 640 sources and contains mention of 1,421 titles.

Below are the Top 100 Albums, in order of Bloggregate ranking. Clicking a title will take you to a page with links to all the bloggers' lists citing that album, along with links to (where available) the artist's home page, myspace page, and a link to purchase the CD.

The Albums page has an alphabetical list of all titles cited.

For the math, there are searchable linked Excel spreadsheets on the Main Page.

For those who don’t want to bother with Excel, the Chart Page has 8 .jpg files showing only the ranked results.

Go here for an alphabetical list of sources with links back to their original Top Ten Album lists.
