Arctic Monkeys are Top Band, Even If They Say They're Not

Alex Turner picThe British band Arctic Monkeys topped the poll as having the best album of 2006, according to NME magazine. "We'd been up and down playing those songs and everyone had gone pretty barmy, but I didn't think that they were going to buy a CD," frontman Alex Turner said about the band's success with the album 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not' .

"I just thought they were out and having a laugh, and I didn't think it meant we were ultimately going to make this big album. When we finished we were so proud that we'd made a record, it seemed secondary that it were a good one."

The album's success owed much to the popularity of their first two singles, 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and 'When the Sun Goes Down', which both topped the UK singles charts.

Best albums of 2006 in the NME poll:

1. Arctic Monkeys - 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not'

2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - 'Show Your Bones'

3. Muse - 'Black Holes And Revelations'

4. Hot Chip - 'The Warning'

5. CSS - 'Cansei De Ser Sexi'

6. Gnarls Barkley - 'St Elsewhere'

7. Long Blondes - 'Someone To Drive You Home'

8. The Strokes - 'First Impressions Of Earth'

9. Kasabian - 'Empire'

10. My Chemical Romance - 'The Black Parade' (ANI)
