| 1 | Hail to the Thief | Radiohead | 10 | This is a good album in the studio as well as LIVE ! Their summersonic performance was one of the better shows of the year for me. (If you don't include the BOSS's final gig at Shea Stadium, NY, REM's final gig at Atlanta, GA, and Pearl Jam at Budokan) |
| 2 | Bring 'em In | Mando Diao | 9 | A great debut album...Could this be a beginning of a Swedish Invasion since ABBA ? Probably not...but a good start....Their live performance was impressive as well. |
| 3 | 12 Memories | Travis | 8 | Travis at their best...their best material since their 2nd album. After seeing them at Summersonic, I have become even more of a big Travis fan, |
| 4 | Sacred Love | Sting | 7 | Did not like this album when I first listened to it but it is a very mature album that will put you in a nice mood...Good music to go along with nice food and wine. |
| 5 | 100th Window | Massive Attack | 6 | Good rock album. |
| 6 | Life For Rent | Dido | 5 | No sophomore jinks for this artist with a bright future ahead of her. |
| 7 | Absolution | Muse | 4 | Did not pick this CD up until recently but MUSE's best material since their debut album. |
| 8 | Magic and Medicine | The Coral | 3 | This CD grows on you the more you listen to it. |
| 9 | Fallen | Evanescence | 2 | something different for a change - good debut album |
| 10 | You Gotta Go There To Come Back | Stereophonics | 1 | I was disappointed with their performance at Summersonic but listened to their CD afterwards and was impressed |

| 1 | On And On | Jack Johnson | 10 | 今年の夏は子育てしながら、何回も聞いたな〜。 本当は浜辺でビールでも飲みながら聞きたい。 |
| 2 | The Greatest Hits | Red Hot Chili Peppers | 9 | これはお得だった。 好きな曲満載の上にＤＶＤ付き。 アンソニーの長髪がなつかしい。 |
| 3 | Live in Texas | Linkin Park | 8 | 家で聞く時はヘッドフォン。 スピーカーフルvolで聞きたい（子供がいなきゃね）トホホ。 |
| 4 | A tribute to RAMONES "We are happy family" | V.A. | 7 | U2,レッチリ、オフスプリング、メタリカ、キッス等 いろんなひとがやってておもしろい。 |
| 5 | Songs | 175R | 6 | やった！メジャーデビュー。 知り合いが担当なので上位ランク。 |
| 6 | Dangerously in Love | Beyonce | 5 | ７０’ｓソウルのカバーがいい。 ダンスがエッチでたまりません。 すいません、おやじなもので。 |

| 1 | Another Mind | Hiromi Uehara | 10 | 文句なし。ダントツの1位。ライブも最高でした。 |
| 2 | Chicago | (Soundtrack) | 9 | いい映画でした。今年の序盤は、こればっかり聴いてました。 |
| 3 | Best of Joao Gilberto | Joao Gilberto | 8 | ベスト盤ですが今年リリースなので、巨匠の初来日公演に敬意を表しランクイン。ライブはひたすら感動でした。 |
| 4 | Wide Angles | Michel Brecker | 7 | ベテランサックスのビッグバンド挑戦。この人もMt. Fujiジャズフェスティバルで見ることができましたがよかった。 |
| 5 | Sapphire Blue | Larry Carlton | 6 | ベテランギタリストのホーンセクション付きブルース。これもライブ見ましたが、Lee Ritenour との共演などあり、渋くキマってました。 |
| 6 | Jazz'n'Pop | Yosuke Onuma | 5 | 若手の期待ギタリスト。このアルバムは1曲目がさわやか。これまた南青山のBody&Solでライブ見ましたが、かっこよかったっす。 |
| 7 | Let It Be Naked | Let It Be Naked | 4 | 賛否両論？ひき締まったいい音で好み。テクノロジーってすばらしい。 |
| 8 | One Quiet Night | Pat Metheny | 3 | ジャズ界ナンバーワンギタリストの風格の一枚。 |
| 9 | Hotel Paper | Michelle Branch | 2 | サンタナとの競演曲がよい。プラスかわいい。 |
| 10 | Takashi | Takashi Matsunaga | 1 | 天才高校生ピアニストと言われていますが、私は1位にあげた上原の方が好み。東京ジャズでのハンコックとの競演は、堂々たるものでした。将来に期待。 |
