Decatur CD's Year End List Extravaganza Part 3 of 5

We can't be stopped. Trudging still forward (with a chip on our shoulder, no less) through a seemingly never-ending barrage of year-end nonsense, Decatur CD is proud to present Austin's list. For the unfamiliar, this hirsute gentleman is a former citizen of Stacheville, a continued denizen of Beardtown, and an occasional leprechaun who enjoys making fun of people on the Internet to make him feel better about his own shattered existence. Sometimes, though...just sometimes...he creates meaningless musical lists. This is one of those times. Witness! Austin's favorite 29 albums of this Foul Year of Our Lord, 2006:
