Each year, particularly as I get older, I discover records or re-evaluate re-embrace records I had not appreciated, even ones I've owned for a long time... Ever own a record a long time and then get into it? Do you find a handful of records each year that charge you up, get you excited? (Excepting, of course, you Reverend Powell, tho' not jaded!) Obviously, I like to mine the oldies.
We've had a lot of lists, yet I have been listening to the same six records for the last 9 months, so I thought, why not a thread? No "10" or "100" just six right outta my a**...
AMY WINEHOUSE Back To Black

I was afraid this was going to be a thread mentioning the top 6 albums of 2008--I'd have trouble with that one. This one is easier.
1. Alfred Brendel, "BEETHOVEN: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 2 (Nos. 16-19, 21-23, 26)". Great sonatas like "The Tempest" and "Les Adieuxs".
2. Alfred Brendel, "LISZT: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 / Piano Sonata / Totenta". I'd never really listened to Liszt before and these concertos blew me away.
3. Johnny Cash, "American V: A Hundred Highways". Finally got around to checking out the last release in this series.
4. Tom Waits, "Orphans". I had a lot of these "rare" cuts already, but its still a bonanza for fans.
5. The Drive-by Truckers, "Pizza Deliverance". This band's a welcome new discovery for me.
6. Ruth Brown, "Blues on Broadway." Bluesy, soulful, sometimes risque takes on Broadway standards.
Too soon to tell because I just got it, but Southside Johnny and the La Bamba Big Band's "Grapefruit Moon: The Songs of Tom Waits" could well work its way onto this list before year's end.
Most of my stuff is punk/hardcore but these are what gets me amped currently:
G.B.H-Leather,Studs and Bristles
Lost Cause-Kill whats Inside
Dr.Octagon-Dr.Octagonecologyst
Hard Skin-Hard Nuts and Hard Cu***
BlackListed-Heavier Than Heaven Lonelier Than God
No Turning Back-Holding On
