I had fallen way, way behind in this thread and have been scanning to catch up. So could someone tell me if people compiled 'Best of 2006' lists here or not. I'm a smidge curious.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I don't think we did do any. But I've still been thinking about it. Maybe we have some distance from 06 and can do it now?

I saw a Secret Cinema show when it traveled out to SF. Cool stuff.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
A handful of us did best of 2006-lists.

Right. I didn't know if that was the case or not so I can backtrack and see.
For what it's worth my top five of '06 were, in no particular order:
Dar Williams - My Better Self. The Paper Chase - Now You Are One Of Us. The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia. The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls In America. And cheatingly
The Cardigans - Super Extra Gravity

Mine would be M. Ward, Chris Thile, The Hold Steady, Christina Aguilera (hush!), and Neko Case.
Ask me again, and I'd probably change some of those...
