Beyonce's B'Day?? No way. Aside from an absolutely perfect Top 40 radio single--Irreplaceable--there's not much there, especially compared to her previous album, Dangerously in Love, which showcased her vocal skills much more effectively. Jenny Lewis, Outkast, Benoit Pioulard, John Legend all put out great records(I think they all had their albums out in 06) as well.
