- Welcome to our Songs of the Year series. Today we're looking at 2006!
Every Friday we will each be choosing our favorite songs of a year, starting in 1958 and going all the way through 2021. We will be making five selections from the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Any song that broke the Hot 100 at any point during the year is eligible. After that we'll be making five more 'wildcard' selections. These picks can come from anywhere. They could've charted as well, but they could also be album cuts, from soundtracks, b-sides...anything at all. And lastly, we'll also be choosing our least favorite song to crack the Top 40.

Yes, great NIN song! Great "worst" pick too.

This year got me back into Modern rock which my list unashamedly reflects
I love Young Men Dead!
2006 is a packed year for me. Lots of great songs from lots of different artists.
(Honourable Mentions: Robbie Williams - Sin Sin Sin, Texas Lightning - No No Never, Beyonce - Irreplaceable, Rihanna - Unfaithful, Take That - Patience, Snow Patrol - Shut Your Eyes, Reamonn - Tonight)
Charting Songs:
5. Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks (UK #13, Germany #31)
4. Lily Allen - Smile (UK #1, US #49, Germany #67)
3. Nelly Furtado - All Good Things (Come to an End) (Germany #1, UK #4, US #86)
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh) (Germany #5, UK #16, US #22)
1. Muse - Starlight (UK #13, Germany #70)
Wildcards:
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
4. Electric Six - I Buy the Drugs [So catchy. So. Catchy. Fun fact: There was a time where you could send a letter to the PO Box he is singing about in the bridge to get autographs from the band in return. Cool stuff.]
3. Muse - Exo-Politics
2. Susanne Sundfør - Walls [Her first single, it went to #3 on the Norwegian charts in 2006. And so started the career of my favourite artist of the 21st century and favourite singer of all time. Great songwriting on this one and her incredible voice make this easily one of the best songs of 2006.]
SONG OF THE YEAR 2006: The Divine Comedy - A Lady of A Certain Age [Very beautiful and sad Baroque Pop Ballad about a life an elderly lady once had. Excellent composition by Mr. Neil Hannon. Top 50 song of all time for me.]
Smile will probably make my list next week. Didn't chart in the US until 2007
Two of yours probably will appear on my list next year.
No No Never was a Eurovision entry and I'm not saying this just because of that because I love quite a few Eurovision entries including the winner that year but I've never liked that song. If you like that song then I'd recommend Calm After the Storm by the Common Linnets and Slow Down by Douwe Bob and Outlaw in 'Em by Waylon.
1. _Joanna Newsom - Only Skin_
2. _Beach House - Saltwater_
3. _Amy Winehouse - Love Is a Losing Game_
4. _My Brightest Diamond - Something of an End_
5. _Morrissey - The Youngest Was the Most Loved_

7. _Phoenix - Long Distance Call_
8. _Loreena McKennitt - Caravanserai_
9. _Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye_
10. _Tim Hecker - Chimeras_
My faves for 2006:
1. The Island of Lost Lucys - Keene Brothers
2. Falling Leaves - Billy Talent
3. You Only Live Once - The Strokes
4. In View - Tragically Hip
5. Love is Stronger Than Witchcraft - Robert Pollard
6. Starlight - Muse
7. All She Wrote - Ray Davies
8. I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor - Arctic Monkeys
9. Whistle For the Choir - The Fratellis
10. O Valencia! - Decemberists
Great list... My song of the year was a tie from two OTHER Robert Pollard tracks on "Compound Eye" ... shows what a brilliant album it is... and, unfortunately, probably didn't even get a listen by the boys.
It was a tough choice to narrow down one song from “Compound Eye”. Brilliant album that was heard by too few.
Kram always picked his true faves, never piushed any up to win (lookin at you Joe!) - so he is a winner to me ;)
No, seriously - all 3 of you have inspired many, many pickups over the past few years and I send equal love to you all!

49.Somerville. Pernice Brothers
50.We Should Never Have Children. Absentee
Good list
Yes, Roscoe!
I think that I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass is easily Yo La Tengo’s strongest album of the 2000s. It has way more hooks/muscle than the two previous albums (both of which Kramzer seems to love). I haven’t really cared for any YLT album after this one (well, Fade was okay).
BILLBOARD
1. *When You Were Young by The Killers #14* (Another slick 80s-inspired single. They really sound like The Cure to me here.)
2. *Dare by Gorillaz #87* (Going more of a dancy/electropop route here quite successfully.)
3. *How to Save a Life by The Fray #3* (Possibly a controversial pick, and I don't tend to like the subgenre of smash hit rock ballads from this period, but it goes down well. Maybe Scrubs helps.)
4. *Steady As She Goes by The Raconteurs #54* (Jack White continuing where he left off with the White Stripes, even if it is a shameless Joe Jackson rip.)
5. *Crazy by Gnarls Barkley #2* (A team-up that worked well in a brief moment. A neo-soul track that was everywhere for a while.)
WILDCARD
1. WINNER: *Roscoe by Midlake* (Where indie rock meets Fleetwood Mac. Sign me up.)
2. *Intervention by Arcade Fire* (Great song off of Neon Bible released at the tail end of the previous year. Adore the church organ.)
3. *Boy from School by Hot Chip* (Top class indietronica.)
4. *Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups* (Those guitar tones and vocals are quite sweet indeed.)
5. *On a Neck, On a Spit by Grizzly Bear* (Indie folk that really builds together nicely. Strong early track from them.)
Top 10 Wildcard HM:
Bridge to Nowhere by Sam Roberts
Catch Yer Own Train by The Silver Seas
Mardy Bum by Arctic Monkeys
In This Camp by Midlake
Billboard has remnants of the previous years, but I found it notably weaker overall at the top. Not sure I'm fond of what that trajectory is likely to bring. On the other hand, the indie scene brings a lot of fun stuff to the table elsewhere.
Worst TOP 40: I Wanna Love You by Akon featuring Snoop Dogg #1 (Snoop Dogg is okay, but elsewhere this song embodies the direction of pop I despise that is still going on today. Hideous vocals, uninspired production, bland songwriting. The nadir of music.)
Worst Runner Up:
I Know You See It by Yung Joc #17
Ms. New Booty by Bubba Sparxxx #7
When You Were Young almost made my top 5. Dare was a winner last year as a wildcard. My favorite song by the Gorillaz
@@markgatica12 Do you think Gorillaz will make any more appearances for you from here?
Ugh, Akon pt. 2
@@Vanessa.P Indeed. I had it earmarked a while ago, and somehow it's worse than I remembered.

You guys should listen to Javiera Mena - Esquemas Juveniles, it's an incredible album released in 2006 from this Chilean artist (I live in Chile too) and it has many great songs. It's my favorite record of Chile from the 00s. Very recommended to anyone.

Yes! I love The Funeral, I'm surprised not many people are mentioning it to be honest.
Oh boy... these choices. I guess I'll go with Kram and Regina Spektor. That is a really good song. I've never been into Josh Ritter. Muse isn't even worth my time. Sorry, Joe.

Here's 10 songs from a guy who liked Indie, punk, emo and scene shit. No particular order.
Mars Volta - Tetragrammation,
Joan of Arc - Eventually, All at Once,
Algernon Cadwallader - Second Rate Machines,
Owen - The Sad Waltzes of Pietro Crespi,
Polar Bear Club - His Devotee
Taking Back Sunday - Liar,
The Album Leaf - Always For You,
Band of Horses - The First Song,
Deftones - Beware,
Sonic Youth - Incinerate
Glad to see Owen get a nod, even though the only album of his that’s ever truly resonated with me is I Do Perceive (2004). There are so many good artists from the 2000s that never seem to get any love in the comments. That’s why I always post a top 50 list. Just trying to get as many names out there.
@@echosmyron1278 I Do Perceive was the go to for a while. Definitely a better record than most that came afterwards. There is very little representation of the more indie stuff from this time on youtube. You kinda had to exist in the right scenes to understand how truly great some of those bands were. I've always dug real hard for good music whereas a lot of people wait for it to come to them.
Edit: Nice Fugazi pic. The Argument might be their best.
@@pechondelgado It’s my favorite Fugazi record, and my favorite record of the 2000s in general.

I love Midlake's sound in this year. For whatever reason, they weren't able to resonate the same way in the following records. I haven't heard the one that just came out yet though.
Great list. We share a bunch of songs
@@TimeToGetAlone The Trials of Van Occupanther definitely their high point. The departure of Tim Smith a few years later didn't help
LOVE the Sparklehorse inclusion. RIP Mark Linkous
The Secret Machines track is a great pick.
Knights of Cydonia has such a wonderful energy. Is it dramatic? Is it melodramatic? Who cares, it sounds amazing and carries me along in its fantasy.
I think "ya had a bad day" (specifically / only the chorus) is better as a meme accompaniment than anything. Crappy song but for that narrow purpose it was a gem.
That Hinder guy needs to drink about a gallon of water.

Not sure what my top 10 of 2006 would be, but the following two songs would definitely be in it: 'Bird of Cuzco' by Nina Nastasia, a beautiful song and I think a tribute to influential British DJ John Peel who always championed her, but who died in Cuzco (off Nina's gorgeous album 'On Leaving'), and Nellie Furtado's 'Afraid', starts off brooding and dark sounding with a sort of sinister guitar riff, but ends up with a joyful chorus of what sounds like school girls, who break into laughter at the end...(opener on her album 'Loose')

-Happy but not too surprised to see “Stuck Between Stations” and “Hold On, Hold On” in the wildcards. Those are probably the most iconic and well-known songs by those 2 artists.
Good list. We've got a few in common
Wow, a shout out to The Loud Family. Never really got into the Anton Barbeau (is that his name) experiment, loved Plants and Interbabe and selected cuts from Linda and the album with Way Too Helpful on it (and much of the Game Theory catalog).
EDIT: and The Black Heart Procession -- beautiful track.
@@niveketihw1897 Yeah, I love the entire Scott Miller catalog, especially Lolita Nation and Plants/Rocks/Birds/Things. Game Theory will be making an appearance on my 2017 SOTY list thanks to the fantastic crowd-funded album Supercalifragile.
Great List! Donna Sumeria my winner,Wolf Like Me in my top 5,actually surprised none of the 3 listed Wolf like me
Somehow I had never heard Thin Blue Flame before. Great choice from Jason!
I don't consider 2006 to be all that strong of a year for top picks. My top 5 would be something like:
1. Bob Dylan - Spirit on the Water
2. Built To Spill - Liar
3. Beck - Elevator Music
4. Yeah Yeah Yeas - Gold Lion
5. Wolfmother - Vagabond (acoustic version) (released as a B side on the 'Woman" single)
Rock music was still alive in 2006, although it was a rare presence in the Billboard chart:
Billboard Top 100:
When You Were Young - The Killers
Saving Grace - Tom Petty
Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
Is It Any Wonder? - Keane
Wildcards:
A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys
Love Hurts - Incubus
Shoot The Runner - Kasabian
Country Girl - Primal Scream
Worst song: You’re Beautiful - James Blunt
(This would actually be quite a good song if Blunt was a reasonable singer. Sadly, he possesses one of the most irritating voices ever - worse than fingernails scratching a chalkboard!)
Song of the Year: Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
(I wasn’t previously a fan of Muse but this song helped to win me over to their unique and ‘other worldly’ sound)
HMs:
When The Sun Goes Down - Arctic Monkeys
Break The Night With Colour - Richard Ashcroft
Empire - Kasabian
Nothing In My Way - Keane
Bones - The Killers
Starlight - Muse
Song To Say Goodbye - Placebo
Hey - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Turn It Again - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Why Won’t You Give Me Your Love? - The Zutons
Hey Bryan, Oh my word, how on earth did I forget about "You're Beautiful". Probably tried to erase it from my memory...!
Great list (and great Song of the Year!!)
@@lubilou64 Hahaha - I wish I could! 😂
In fairness, it was released in 2005 but it hit #1 on Billboard chart in 2006, so I think it belongs to that year. Thanks Lou.
Great list, Bryan. I also had A Certain Romance on my list, and obviously Starlight. Always thought Dani California, When You Were Young and Nothing In My Way were very good songs as well. I would have included more Keane in my HM picks, but made a conscious effort to make that list shorter than I've been doing.
Looks like there are 11 songs I don't know. I realize it's considerably later in the day for you at the moment, so I will likely post my feedback late tonight and it should be there for you in the morning. Anxious to hear these unfamiliar songs! I think the Zutons are the only act I've never heard at all. Later, my friend. 🙂
@@brentjackson6839 thanks Brent. I could have easily included Nothing In My Way as one of my top 5 wildcards, except that I limit myself to one song per artist in my top 10. This means it can only be a HM if they are already one of my Billboard picks. It’s partly for this reason that I hold back certain songs if they made the Billboard chart in the following year - that will happen with The Killers in 2007.
I have started listening to some of your choices and I should also be able to get back to you tomorrow about those. Have a good evening my friend.
@@bryanbyrde8338 Hi Bryan. My day took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and has thrown me off course quite a lot. Sorry I'm late getting this post to you.
I wish I'd been in a better frame of mind, etc. when I listened to your songs. I don't know how long it may take me to reach that point. Anyway, I liked Break The Night With Colour the most. Thought that Country Girl was pretty good. I liked the Zutons song and also liked Love Hurts.
Alright Bryan, I hope you'll have a great weekend. Later, my friend.
#1 Sawdust & Diamonds - Joanna Newsom

I voted Kram's pick. Samson is a really moving track. Regina's vocal performance is fantastic
Zzzzzzz. - Joe
Puts you to sleep? Yeah, I know. That's why I recommended Music Is my Hot Sex by CSS. That'll wake you up for sure. Cheers!
In my opinion with 2007-2010 you boys are about to hit a golden era. Very interested to see the upcoming episodes
These are some of my favourite songs of 2006: Foxy, Foxy by Rob Zombie, Miss Murder by AFI, Tell Me Baby by Red Hot Chili Peppers, This Could Be Anywhere In the World by Alexisonfire, World Wide Suicide by Pearl Jam, The Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin, No Matter What by Def Leppard, Xerces by Deftones, Hollow by Godsmack, Knights of Cydonia by Muse, Hell & Consequences by Stone Sour, Right In Two by Tool, Lonely End Of The Rink by The Tragically Hip, Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, Liquor and Whores by Bubbles & The Shit Rockers from Trailer Park Boys (The Movie Soundtrack), Our Truth by Lacuna Coil, Crazy Bitch by Buckcherry, This Suffering by Billy Talent, Pain by Three Days Grace, Original Fire by Audioslave and The Kill by Thirty Seconds To Mars.
Good list
@@ttmilbr thanks.
Hi Gord, Love Liquor & Whores lol what a great show!
I love that Scissor Sisters song! It cracks me up how they sing about not feeling like dancing while it's almost impossible not to dance to the song!
These are my 5 favorite songs of 2006:
5. Amy Winehouse - "Back to Black"
4. TV on the Radio - "Hours"
3. The Knife - "Marble House"
2. Silversun Pickups - "Lazy Eye"
1. Guillemots - "If the World Ends"
Hehe always cool to see Joe making his mark with disagreements in such a casual, relaxed manner.
Ok @Jason, have caught up a bit more on Kathleen Edwards…lives shows interviews etc. interesting departure from the music scene to start the Quitters coffee shop but glad she’s back, and also playing again with Colin. Watched the live from Quitters Coffee. She is really great. Love how this channel is opening me up to great artists like Kathleen. Thanks so much.
Pa. Did you ever see he live back in the day Jason? (Or Joe or Kramz?)

This is the year Flaming Lips released "The W.A.N.D" and I thought this song will be inescapable on pop radio it's so catchy. Nobody cared. They played the song in commercials. Probably the closest to a "Smells Like Teen Spirit" like experience I've ever had with a song. 🤷♂️
Good shoutout I felt a similar way when I first heard that song

2) "Desecration Smile" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

9) "Dani California" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

2006 Mostly Lightly Likeables
1 The Town - Los Lobos A stark evocative song that is better than any other song by the critics' darlings.
2 Think I'm in love - Beck
3 Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
4 Baby I'm Yours - Artic Monkeys ( I hate this band but for this song)
5 Dani California - RHCP
6 Wolf Like Me - TV On The Radio
7 Let's Have a Party - Chris Issak. Nice song and Chris makes it seem so effortless
8 Lived in Bars - Cat Power
9 You Can Make Him Like You - The Hold Steady
10 Love you in the Fall - Paul Westerberg From the soundtrack for the animation "Open Season"
10a Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John
10bThe Race Is On Again - Yo La Tengo
11 Black Gown - The Lemonheads
12 Rule Of Three - The Lemonheads These two songs are not up to some of the really fine earlier work of Evan Dando

14 To Be Myself Completely - Belle and Sebastian
15 Funny Little Frog - Belle and Sebastian
16 You Have Killed Me - Morrissey
17 Gone Daddy Gone - Gnarls Barkley
18 Boxing About - Robert Pollard
19 Right In Two - Tool
20 Roscoe - Midlake
Criminal in a studio:
Save Room - John Legend
I like the song but John steals a great melody but has trouble with lyrics. "Save Room" is an undercover cover of the Classic IV's "Stormy" melody. Here's a sample:
" If you stay won't you stay? Stay. Save room for my love . Save room for a moment to be with me Save room for my love save a little Save a little for me
Won't you save a little (I think we're pickin' up on John's vibe)
Save a little for me This just might hurt a little (right big John)
Love hurts sometimes, when you do it right (right trite John)"

2. Preachin' - The Answer
3. Nothin' to Lose - Rebel Meets Rebel
4. Bridge to Better Days - Joe Bonamassa
5. Time to Die - Jon Oliva's Pain
6. Into the Gutter - The Answer
7. Gravity's Gone - Drive-By Truckers
8. Rehab - Amy Winehouse
9. Rock 'n' Roll - Michael Schenker Group
10. Fear - Richie Kotzen
2006 had a lot of great tunes but they were concentrated on some stellar albums;
1001 Pleasant Dreams-Mission of Burma
Act of the Apostle-Belle & Sebastian
Adventure Rocket Ship-Robyn Hitchcock& the Venus 3
Black Grease-Black Angels
Cossacks Are-Scott Walker
I Was a Lover-TV on the Radio
Incinerate-Sonic Youth
Nettie Moore-Bob Dylan
Pass the Hatchet,I Think I'm Goodkind-Yo La Tengo
Rehab-Amy Winehouse
Roscoe-Midlake
Star Witness-Neko Case
Stuck Between Stations-Hold Steady
Sukie in the Graveyard-Belle & Sebastian
The Crane Wife 1&2-The Decemberists
The Island-The Decemberists
The Race is on Again-Yo La Tengo
Underground Sun-Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3
Van Occupanther-Midlake
Top 5)
5)2wice-Mission of Burma(the drum intro is killer and the track is relentless,tremendous chorus as well.)
4)Yankee Bayonet-The Decemberists(This album sounds like a 21st century Thick as a Brick,but this track has more of a Richard & Linda Thompson vibe,which is awesome. )
3)Wolf Like Me-TV on the Radio(not much to say about this except its one of the best rockers of this millenium)
2)Point and Shoot-Yo La Tengo(The upbeat vocals and melody completely counter the dark nature of the lyrics,this is one of YLTs gems,a beautiful song)
1)Donna Sumeria-Mission of Burma(A Donna Summer tribute,or joke,by a band like MOB is just genius. No idea what it's about,but the "I feel love" interlude had me rocking and cracking up at the same time. This track slays)
Mission of Burma's The Obliterati was my #3 AOTY for 2006, Robyn Hitchcock also came into the 4 star range this year - both are strong albums and it is hard to single out a specific track.
Nice to see a Black Angels mention
See one good stuff this year - great to see the hold steady get mentioned. My 10 in no particular
1. Life wasted - Pearl Jam
2. A certain romance - arctic monkeys
3. I love Creedence - casiotone for the painfully alone
4. All you can eat - Ben folds
5. When the sun goes down -Arctic Monkeys
6. Conventional wisdom - Built to spill
7. Stuck between the stations - hold steady
8. Working man’s blues - bob dylan
9. Steady as she goes - raconteurs
10. Chelsea dagger - fratellis
I remember seeing artic monkeys in concert and being stoked over that compared to fallout boy lol!

Without even a second thought, Wolf Like Me is my runaway winner for 2006. Liked a lot the picks though, especially the Regina Spektor love. Y'all should consider ranking her albums after the new one comes out in a few weeks.
It's so good!!!

Hi Mark, I considered Hang Me Up To Dry for my list - great song!

Cheers! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Hi Lou, I hope you are enjoying the long Jubilee weekend. 👑
Great to see we have the same SOTY. That was the song which first made me appreciate the music of Muse. We also have the same Kasabian song, which is less surprising. Watch this space for my worst song of 2007. 😃
@@bryanbyrde8338 Hey Bryan, just seen your list (excellent!) Hope you are well and enjoying the bank holiday. I've been working unfortunately but hey, it's business I can't turn down.
I really like Muse, they're excellent live and Supermassive Balck Hole just reminds me of seeing them at Wembley Stadium (the Bellemy Red Suit!) It's a great album too although I actually prefer Absolution.
Hope the South West is behaving itself! Enjoy!
@@lubilou64 I don’t blame you for working my friend - none of us really need the extra time off unless we are actually going away somewhere. As you would expect, the South West is always busy around Bank Holidays but it’s still good.
Brilliant news that you got to see Muse at Wembley. It sounds like that was an amazing show. Sadly I haven’t been to as many gigs since 2000 - that’s mainly due to kids and family life getting in the way, and also partly a result of moving away from the London area. As Muse are local lads, I hope they will play a large outdoor show in Exeter or Plymouth but that probably won’t happen anytime soon. 😆
Cheers.

- The Killers - When You Were Young
- Cassie - Me & U

Wildcard:
- Neko Case - The Needle Has Landed
- Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins - Happy
- Mastodon - Hunters of the Sky
- Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere In the World
Worst: Lots of options but going with "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder. I just hate everything about this song - the music, the lyrics, the singing.
First: "King of Bohemia" by Linda Ronstadt & Ann Savoy, this is a cover of a Richard Thompson song and just a beautiful performance by Linda from her last album before her retirement. She sounds so great here and the spare instrumentation gets me every time.
The Killers just missed for me on both the Hot 100 and Wildcards. Great list
Nelly Furtado wasn't too far off my radar. I can almost guarantee she'll show up in 2007.
Hi Vanessa, I love Promiscuous & Maneater too / those beats!
Just checked out your SOTY - it's gorgeous! Cheers V!

3. Square One - Tom Petty
2. Thunder on the Mountain - Bob Dylan
1. I Hear Them All - Old Crow Medicine Show
For me, this was the strongest year so far in the 2000s in terms of songs from the UK chart. Well, perhaps not for depth, with a bit too much 'landfill' indie for me and a middling total of 53 songs on my long list. However, there was a real battle to make my top 10 with some songs missing out that I think may have made lists in some of the previous few years. I really like quite a few albums from this year and some of them are represented in the list of acts with more than 1 long list entry and no top 10 representation, these are Hard-Fi, Arctic Monkeys, Keane (3 songs), The Fratellis (3 songs), The Scissor Sisters and The Killers. Some rather quirky songs make my top 10 with 2 from The Flaming Lips plus one called 'Trains to Brazil' which mentions neither trains nor Brazil in the lyrics. My truly wildcard choice comes from Sweden's Peter, Bjorn and John and, for me at least, it just lands on the endearing rather than the nauseating side of twee. Also on the list is the lead single from my album of the year from the late Amy Winehouse but it is the Raconteurs that probably have my number one song:
Sewn - The Feeling
The Wand - The Flaming Lips
The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song - The Flaming Lips
Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
Trains to Brazil - The Guillemots
Starlight - Muse
Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn and John
Broken Boy Soldier - The Raconteurs
Rehab - Amy Winehouse
Why won’t you give me your love? - The Zutons
From the guys' lists - Put your Records on, Is it any Wonder, I don't feel like Dancin' and Knights of Cydonia were all on my long list. I forgot to mention above that Crazy made history in the UK by being the first track to get to number 1 on downloads alone.
Nitty Gritty -- Primal Scream
The Fallen -- Franz Ferdinand
You Only Live Once -- The Strokes
You & I -- Graham Coxon
Need to Know -- Aberfeldy
The Blues are Still Blue -- Belle & Sebastian
Don't Take My Sunshine Away -- Sparklehorse
Could We -- Cat Power
Our Hell -- Emily Haines & Soft Skeleton
It Covers the Hillside -- Midlake
In no specific order:

What's a heart song compared to the other top songs?
@@NaughtyVampireGod Hello Naughty, it's nothing more. It just that reading my list I realized I had 4 songs with the same word in the title, in this case I have 4 songs with heart in the title. I don't think it had happened before in my tops to have that many occurrence of the same word. But yeah, it is totally anecdotal 😅
@@TheAfterglows Oh! Silly of me. 🤡 I didn't even realize that!! Nice list. We both have Amy Winehouse Back to Black in out top 10s.

Hey NVG. Very nice list 🙂 Though not necessarily in the same year, we both have Starlight, Read My Mind, Welcome To The Black Parade and Steady, As She Goes.
Of the other tracks I know, I am a fan of When You Were Young, Knights of Cydonia, Map of the Problematique and each of your Amy Winehouse picks.
A goodly number of songs are brand new to me, which I will check out. Hope to be able to get that done today. Til next time, my friend. 😊
@@brentjackson6839 Hey Brent - Sounds good my friend. 😀👍
@@NaughtyVampireGod Some excellent choices again, my friend. I remember you recommended an album to me by The Dolly Rocker Movement during the AOTY series and I enjoyed it very much. I will definitely look forward to checking out their songs from this list.
I won’t get back to you as quickly as Brent does but I will try to give you some feedback before Friday if possible. Next week will be really crammed with Porcupine Tree, so I also hope to make a start on my 2009 list before this weekend. It’s going to be a hectic few weeks. 😆
Greetings! Hoped to have this ready for you earlier than this. Sorry about that.
I had a relatively clear favorite this week, in the form of Kasabian's Sun Rise Light Flies. Very sonically appealing. A 9.3 for me.
I don't recall if Veruca Salt has had a song I liked more than The Sun. For some reason, I expected the song to take a turn I wouldn't care for. Never happened 🙂. 9.0 rating.
Several more tunes I enjoyed, in order of preference: Flathead, Last Trip (In Flight), Margaret vs. Pauline, The Light Ride, Take What You Take, Melatonin and Turn Into.
Glad I got to hear some good "new" songs! Have a great week, buddy. 😊
@@bryanbyrde8338 Hello Bryan - Hope all is well. The Dolly Rocker Movement album I recommended was the final one - Our Days Mind the Tyme (2009) - which is a neo-psychedelic masterpiece. Glad you enjoyed it. 😎 The selections above are from their earlier albums (both released in 06) - they only had three total. These earlier ones are very good but not quite up to the classic status as the final one.
No pressure, btw. Get back to me on the unfamiliar ones whenever you have the time. I appreciate ANY time you can give. You, Brent and and a few others (Lou!) are friends of mine and an important part of the TLM community. I thought I saw in another post that you were proposing to just take a look at the top 10 and then save the HMs for later. (Did I get that right?) I think that's an excellent suggestion. I tend to stack up the HMs, particularly from artists that I really like. On the other hand, I am very selective about my top 10 list. So if you are limted to that for now then that's totally ok. Like I said, whatever time you can give is greatly appreciated. Of course it should always be something you enjoy. 😀
Just to be clear: I think all HMs are excelelnt songs. (4.5 outa 5 minimal). It's just that I tend to indulge myself with artists I like and if a song hits the right genre chord for me. Sometimes it is an extremely close call as to what makes the the top 10 as opposed to the HM list. (I do not apply the "one song per artist" rule.)
BTW, I still owe you for 06 & 07 - Many "sames" so we aren't talking about too many songs here which are unfamiliar to me.
I am glad you are doing the Porcupine Tree discography. I will sit back and enjoy the show. I will certainly check out your top album/song recommendations. They are a band I am unfamiliar with except for one or two song recommendations from you. They may be a bit outside my wheelhouse but I cerainly liked what I heard.
As I think I mentioned, I am planning to do the Siouxsie and the Banshees discography next week. lots of listening there.
Didn't plan to go on and on. Just wanted to make sure you didn't feel any pressure about reporting back within any set timeframe.
Okay, Bryan. Thx again and I will talk to you soon, my friend. 🙂

Great list. I missed The Drones this time around- good pick.
great list! I forgot about Alejandro Escavedo Boxing Mirror album! Arizona or Sacramento & Polk would have made my list for sure
HM - Tool - Vicarious, Charlatans - Blackened Blue Eyes, Morrissey - You Have Killed Me, Built to Spill - Goin' Against Your Mind, Juicy Lucy - Silver Bird
5. Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - You Won't Let Me Down Again (Actually the best song on their third collaboration were Townes Van Zandt covers, but this is the best original, partly thanks to James Iha on guitar.)
4. Killing Joke - Invocation (Kashmir reborn, even if Jaz Coleman will never be Robert Plant.)
3. Iron Maiden - Out of the Shadows (In the new millennium the band returned with a powerful and unmistakable sound. While their albums suffered slightly from endless runtime and over-long tunes, it does not mean that individual tracks could not be very good. The live in the studio atmosphere here helps a lot.)
2. Leslie West - One Thing On My Mind (West + Aynsley Dunbar, nobody will miss the Black Keys after listening to this. Then check the album opener Blues Before Sunrise. Then check the album Blue Me.)
1. Motorhead - God Was Never on Your Side (Power ballads appear randomly on their later day albums - this one works because the emphasis is on power rather than on ballad.)

SOTY probably 'Valerie' by the Zutons.
And speaking of 'Valerie' I could pick the whole Amy Winehouse album. "Rehab' was a stellar track; she had great sense of humor. "Love is a losing game' probably my fave track.
'Sheena is a parasite' by the Horrors.
'Incinerate' by SY. And "Country Girl' by Primal Scream
I forgot the TV on the Radio album, "Wolf like me" will be a pick.
There are a lot of tracks I like a lot from that year: Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Rapture, Scissor Sisters, The Knife - but not really SOTY's.
Love the Secret Machine album. I was totally digging that first cut, and sent my friend just "Alone Jealous & Stoned" in a text. And he got all worried, because I had just quit using drugs and alcohol, and he thought I'd fallen off the wagon.
Singles: "Who Knew," by Pink; "Fidelity," by Regina Spektor; "Walk Away," by Kelly Clarkson; "Leave the Pieces," by The Wreckers; "My, Oh My," by The Wreckers.

1. See Below
Worst Song- Laffy Taffy-D4L - Pretty repetitive and not the most intriguing lyric.
Song of the Year- Astounding Moon-Tim Finn- I love the piano and the melancholy feel of this song. Great vocal too!
Really struggling now. Had to dig so deep, again, and all I got is "Bunsen Burner" by "Rock n Rolls Greatest failure" John Otway.
He had one hit back in 1977 and spent the next 30 years chasing another. This was it. After a campaign that involved a gig where fans got to choose his next release (yes, I was there but I voted for something else) he managed, with the help of said fans, to chart at number 9 here in the U.K. A reflection you'd have to say on the loyalty and commitment of his followers rather than the quality of the song. But hey, it's all I got.
It's been a long couple of days and Jubilee fatigue is setting in. God Save The Queen. 🇬🇧👑🎈
Well done Kramza for picking Samson by Regina Spektor, you could have picked any song from Begin to Hope, what a brilliant album, great song writing, vocals and Regina's piano work is off the scale so Kramza gets the smiley face🙂. Unfortunately, Jason & Joe get the grumpy face ☹️ for a really insipid selection. I do however, have another option for 2006 and that is Thea Gilmore's album Harpo's Ghost, you could pick any song from that but Samson is fine with me. Worst song , I'll pass on that and take your word for it with your selections!☹️
I'm with Kram on Crazy - I've always loved that song. Dare is great too and You Know My Name is too so yes Joe but the actor's name is pronounced Cray-g. For once I agree with Jason in Here It Goes and Is It Any Wonder with the dumb decisions that both the UK and US made in 2016 I really indentified with that song. Joe - I Don't Feel like Dancing is great.
Hey Boys. Late to the 06 party . . Voted for Knights of Cydonia last week but unfortunately it came up a bit short . . . Was my #4 song of the year.
You nailed it. - Joe

Great vid as always guys! Can’t wait now for 2007 and the beginning of the Taylor Swift era…….One of her 100+ hits might sneak through right?
Could definitely happen. - Joe
My favorite song is Cue by Scott Walker

Ah, a few I missed and a few of the same artists, but different songs. Thumbs up for Getatchew Mekuria and The Ex; I saw them in 2008 and it might be the best concert I ever saw.
@@johnlefsky8731 wow, I'd love to have seen them. It doesn't surprise me they'd be that good.
@@johnwilliams4658 There were other Ethiopian artists on the bill, too. The crowd was as amazing as the musicians. Security had a hard time keeping people from dancing in the aisles. It was quite the party.
@@johnlefsky8731 sounds great. Mekuria's tone reminds me a lot of Ayler in his more melodic moments. Such a great sound.
@@johnlefsky8731 Éthiopiques 14: Negus of Ethiopian Sax is fantastic too and well worth hearing.
