Wrap-Up: BuzzSugar's Top 20 Albums of 2006

Not every year can be a great year for music, and 2006 was just okay. It didn't help that this year was sandwiched between 2005—which gave us great albums by Kanye West, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Sufjan Stevens—and 2007, which promises new releases from Wilco, Arcade Fire, and Timbaland.

Thankfully, I managed to scour enough of the year's music to bring you BuzzSugar's Top 20 Albums of 2006. I've been posting my reviews all week, but here at last is the list in its entirety. Don't forget to bookmark the albums you thought were Buzzworthy this year!
