song of the year was Vicarious by Tool IMO, soooooooooooo sooooooooo good.

I liked it better the first time around, when they called it "Schism"

I know you said you dig Tool and you though The Pot would have been a better first single, but do you really think that Vicarious and Schism sound the same? I'm sorry, but they do not. They are widely different lyrically and musically. Still, The Pot would have been better to start out. They would have sold twice as many albums in the early going...and to get back on topic, sadly I haven't even purchased ten new albums in 06, but what I have purchased has been AMAZING (maybe I should buy more?!):

World Container
Chemical City
10,000 Days

Looking over everyones entries, I would say that Pearl Jam is the only one I'm missing out of the consensus top 10.
