So, what were the best songs/albums/artists of 2006?

[Road Warrior]

2006 wasn't a great year for music. There was nothing really impressive or groundbreaking. Well, atleast not in mainstream music. I know underground music is a different story.

I will say, however, that the biggest shocker of 2006 was Justin Timberlake. After 7 years he finally releases a song that I like. And, I'm not talking about dick in a box.

"Ultimate Showdown" did kick ass, yes.

 

[Darthphere]

Hmmm, wow, tough one. I didnt buy a lot of cd's this year but I liked Continuum by John Mayer and Sam's Town by The Killers was alright. My favorite probably being Stadium Arcadium by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

 

[Road Warrior]

I think my favorite song this year was that "bad day" song. lol.

Young Joc, The album new joc city is filled with hits

 

[Road Warrior]

Sometimes people get the years confused.

Stadium Arcadium was a great album in '06, and for best song, I'd have to give Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" some serious consideration.

I don't know! It's a great song, but I don't think its the best.

 

[Avalanche]

Not all released in 2006, but 2006 was when I discovered them:

Imogen Heap - Speak For Yourself
The Feeling - Twelve Stops & Home
The Automatic - Not Accepted Anywhere

Meh, I'm not sold on their album. I can't find it in my heart to like any song other than the one the released as a single.

I have no idea who any of those people are! I'm so out of it. I think 2001 was the last time I followed music on a daily basis.

Imogen Heap is a bit niche. I was introduced to her by a friend. The Feeling aren't huge, but are pretty well known over here in the UK, and the same goes for The Automatic.

Oh I see. Good to see that I'm not THAT out of it. lol. Do they have a myspace or something? I would like to check out their stuff.

Nice choices saw The Automatic a few months back, and The Feeling are such a cool band

For me, OKGo did it. Due to their treadmill greatness.

Yeah, that's the one

Shame I've heard them being referred to as a bunch of badly dressed men, who can only dance and not play music.

Liked them since their first single. Met them this summer t:
