"I can't let you do that DAVE".....(HAL 3000, anybody?)not in this forum dave, i am taking over your system dave. :)
No. I didn't buy any newly recorded albums either this year. Just a lot of shitty music being made or I just can't find anything that has more than 3 good songs on it.
The Holloways - So this is Great Britain..
Weird one I think the 1st track on the album is crap but the rest are just grrr....eat
Most of the stuff I bought this year was old, or reissues. Hmmm...this really was a crap year for music, wasn't it?
Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I am...
Those are the only 2006 albums I own (B&S doesn't have a bad track at all, AM is hit-or-miss) 
Actually, the only recent things I got were the new Ladytron and Goldfrapp, but I don't know if either of them actually came out this year (I don't think so).
Ministry - Rio Grande Blood Killing Joke - Hosannas From the Basement of Hell Napalm Death - Smear Campaign Gary Numan - Jagged
Oh that's right...Numan. I know I've bought new albums this year, but they left so little impression on me that I can't be bothered to rank them.
The Knife's Silent Shout Scissor Sisters' Ta-Dah
Apart from reissues, remasters, and remixes, those are the only two new recordings I've gotten this year.
Only artist albums I've bought this year (that I can think of, that aren't compilations/reissues):
A Guy Called Gerald - Proto Acid: The Berlin Sessions Bent - Intercept! Linus Loves - Stage Invader Transit Kings - Living In A Giant Candle Winking At God
(above are all very good, btw)
Still haven't bought (so can't comment on, but are on Christmas list!):
Coldcut - Sound Mirrors Hot Chip - The Warning Hybrid - I Choose Noise
Still waiting for:
Massonix - Subtracks (due out either Dec 06 or Jan 07) Long Range - out Jan '06 (Phil Hartnoll, ex-Orbital) new album by Paul Hartnoll (ex-Orbital) new album by The Orb (Alex Paterson/Youth) Amba - album tba (Tom Middleton's ambient band) 808 State - Quadrastate (reissue)
I own 6 out of your top 10 Dave and they are all very good. I bought so much new music this year, I'll have to scroll through my ipod and pick some out but for now
for hopefully 8 hours.....
I'm excited to see some other's lists.
Empire by Kasabian is quite good, while Howling Bells debut album is sound as well
The only other new albums i got this year were Fundamental by PSB (which is alright) and LEF by Ferry Corsten (which was also alright).

No -- I too couldn't find an album that could keep my interest piqued.
The only 'new' music I bought this year would be:
Primal Scream: Riot City Blues The Who: Endless Wire Kasabian: Empire
Of these 3 Riot City Blues is my favourite, not really had chance to listen to The Who or Kasabian yet, but have made a mental note to listen to Kasabian prior to their gig at the MEn.
I forgot to mention that I also bought Pearl jam - Pearl jam on the strength that it had a really nice cover to it. Its quite goddm usically as well.
No longer being in the music selling biz has limited my ability to find the interesting cool stuff-about my only regret from it-
But I have some cool stuff I found this year
"Pearl Jam" Pearl Jam (their best album in years) "Surprise" Paul Simon "Songlines" Derek Trucks (incredible slide guitarist) "St. Elsewhere" Gnarls Barkley (Studio wonder? SURE-but what a production!!) "Some Cities" (live ep) Doves "Continuum" John Mayer "Magic Potion" The Black Keys (just amazing-they rock) "Colorblind" Robert Randolph & The Family Band "Living With War" Neil Young

same here save a few compilations.
Funily enough there are lots of exciting new live bands around like Pigeon Detectives The Macabees Sunshine Underground Switches The View (if you're gonna see the Primals on tour at the mo, make sure you catch these guys supporting)
They just haven't delivered great albums yet. So I've probably got heaps of singles I was excited about but not that many albums.
The ones that spring to mind:
1)MSTRKRFT "The Looks". Great canadian techno duo (tech house?) ... with Jesse from the now defunct Death From Above 1979.
Primal Scream: Riot City Blues. Not their best LP but still great after a hard week, with the volume up, and some beers down your neck.
Hot Chip: The Warning. Not perfect but they plough their own little electro furrow and I respect that!
