Yes, again, I strolled through some great lists thanks to DJ Martian’s bookmarks on del.icio.us, he probably has all the 2006 lists ever, (as always). I’ve selected some stuff as well, and I’m pretty sure I’m the last one to compose a list (as always!!) but I don’t have the time yet. Tomorrow hopefully. But till then, some more top 2006 lists :

* Nils Jacobson’s best jazz of 2006 @ All About Jazz. Highly diverse, including ethnic middle eastern stuff and reissue’s as well.

* Avant Music News’ best of 2006 list. Lots of interesting picks that I agree with here, like I-Z, Esbjorn Svensson Trio, The Cracow Klezmer Band, Mark Feldman’s latest, Koby Israelite, and some interesting names to hunt for.

* Slate’s Best Jazz Albums of 2006 list with Ornette Coleman’s latest on top.

* Here’s an interesting list, 155 metal artists from bands like Tiamat, Anthrax, Kreator etc. voting their top 3 albums of 2006. Although the list is sooo bad, it seems these guys never listen to music at home.

* Drowned in Sound’s top 10 list voted by readers. Nothing shocking, Joanna Newsom topping the list, with usual suspects like The Knife, Muse, TV on the Radio, Broken Social Scene, Arctic Monkeys, I think I hate the indie hipster scene more and more every day.

* At last someone mentioned Tim Hecker’s Harmony in Ultraviolet, johann johannsson’s IBM 1401 and Paavoharju. Minimal Robot.

* All about Jazz forum is always a nice place to learn jazz. Here’s some best of lists, which are far more diverse than most of the indie mp3blogs.

* And finally, the always wonderful Benn Loxo du Tacco, now a perm link on our sidebar, introducing us to a wonderful musician Maurice El Medouni.
