Revolver’s Top Local Albums of 2006
Opinyon lang to ng sumulat...
1. Up Dharma Down, Fragmented (Terno).
2. Queso, Queso (self-produced).
3. Sound, Blue Monsoon (self-produced). --> dalawa sa mga dahilan kung bakit ako di naniniwala: under EMI ang album na to at kakarelease lang nung second week ng dec 2006. at natalo nya ang typecast at juan pablo? pero ok to! hooohooo!
4. Sugarfree, Tala-Arawan (EMI).
5. Dong Abay, Flipino (self-produced).
6. Chillitees, Extra Rice (soundminds/EMI).
7. The Dawn, Tulad Ng Dati (Warner)/Rivermaya, Isang Ugat, Isang Dugo (Viva).
8. Sleepyheads, (Don’t Let Our) Tuneless Moaning (Go to Waste).
****special mention****Narda, Discotillion ( Edouards Village). Anyone who knows this writer personally might laugh and throw garbage at me when they read this and accuse me of conflict of interest, but heck, find me any sensible listener who will tell you that this is an awful one. From an objective point of view this is where I would have put it because this album brings the different elements that make two important rock genres of the 80’s – new wave and punk – fun, fun, fun.
9. Outerhope, Strangely Paired (self-produced).
10. Kjwan, 2StepMarv (Barnyard).
11. AMPON, Dekoding Rhythm (AMPON).
12. Salindiwa, One (self-produced). .
13. Cog, Conflagration (Tower of Doom)/Plane Divides the Sky, Campaign to Capture (Tower of Doom).

15. Nimbus9, Philippine Phenom (Turbulence).
16. Endofcontracts, Radio Edito (Edouards Village).
17. Bob Aves, Translating the Gongs (Tao).
18. Various Artists, Mga Awit ng Mandaragat (Independent). A superior songwriter (Joey Ayala) interpreted by an even superior list of performers (Cooky Chua, Cynthia Alexander, Noel Cabangon, Kevin Roy, etc) to create a concept album paying tribute to the fisherfolk and the sea.
