Archive list with every blog

Hi guys

I am looking to create a page that lists all the articles on my site, listed by month. I have been to a few sites that have a standard page that is exactly what I’m after, and looks a lot like the following:
e.g.

December 2005

30: Article 29 (6)
28: Article 28 (14)

November 2005
24: Article ## (3)

It lists them all like this, where the first number is the date it was posted, the article is linked, and the bracketed number is the number of comments or trackbacks.

Is there a standard feature in wordpress, or a plugin, that allows me to do this? As I say, I have come across several blogs that has this type of page, so there is a standard script out there.

A quick point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards

Max
