View Full Version : Best Song of 2006?
I quite liked the Lily Allen ditty - very summertime.
Other than that, anything from either Belle & Sebastian's or Easy Star All-Star's albums.
I haven't bought much else 2006 stuff, so I can't really comment.
I would say that Snow Patrol song is drivvel, but I wouldn't like to upset anyone.

ha ha Stann...that brings pleasing images to my mind!
Sorry Lim til I die if have let u down but I love that song flame, tis the lyrics u see, am an ould rosemantic.
There has been very little to excite the musical palate this year.
Ok on the Snow Patrol issue, I plead guilty but am emotionally linked to that song and it reminds me of the best thing that has happened to me this year so am gonna vote it number 1.

Bell X1 are for easily led student union types who must likely love the frames aswell
Infinitely superior Irish band lyrically off the top of my head - Therapy?
Maybe not quite as romantic though :p
In fairness, ltid, in the context of 2006 what good lyrics have Therapy had?
Best Irish lyrics ever is surely a different topic altogether.
Now, back to knocking 2006 Irish bands...

Therapy? released an LP (their 11th) 'One Cure Fits All' last spring.
It was largely ignored in this country as we were all busy championing Bell X1's tonight Matthew I'm David Byrne carry on as some inciteful re-evaluation of the zeitgeist of the proto-punk new wave movement in it's most furtive form. That instead of laughing at them for chasing their tails and the plaudits of the music press while getting heavily splintered arses from excessive bandwagon jumping.
If madchester was 'back' tomorrow they'd be the first doing the 'Bez stomp'. It's all a bit disgusting really.
It's a great song-end of.
I'd say "Its's not -end of" but for the fact you can always tell when someone isn't up for backing it up or packing it up when they end their quip with "end of" ...now.

Its the kind of song i probably know all the words to and sing along to it in a pub or in the car but would never choose to put it on myself . which is strange.
coudn't think of it earlier...C'Mon C'Mon by the Von Bondies is another up there....from the lifestyle sports add.Lifestyle have had some great tunes for their ads to be fair to them...

Really? I had no idea. And not because is was all Bellexed up last spring.
Then again, was never much of a fan, even though I got to hear plenty of their early stuff in college.

Fairplay jebus and Lionel
Some awful, awful pap being listed on here
Razorlight - terrible, terrible rubbish altogether
Snow Patrol - Nampy, pamby souless nonsense. They are actually blander than u2
Muse - More bland coffee table "rock"
The Killers - Don't get me started! Wetter than Angelas Ashes
It would appear Limerick folk are the only ones with taste :p :cool:
And before jebus comes on laying into me, yes I'll freely admit I'm trapped in a timewarp and have trouble acknowledging any good new music :p This doesn't in any way take from the rubbishness of the above listed bands btw
what kind of music do you like so???
Have to say that I cant think of one half decent song that was released this year ???

I was about to try and be positive and say 'Hey Man' by Eels ...but I just checked and it was released in May 2005. So I'm still waiting on a single, solitary remarkable song to emerge from 2006 -and as Christmas is upon us it's looking more and more likely to be Slades 'Merry Christmas (Everybodys Having Fun)'.:)

If you haven't check out TV on the Radio. One of the most original if not the most original band around right now.

I hadn't looked at this thread until now as I couldn't think of anything worth nominating. It's just occurred to me that I haven't bought a single album released this year. Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Gold Lion was good, thought it was more than a year ago though.
Oh, Therapy? are $hite too.

At the moment I'm mainly listening to The Smiths, Stone Roses and Pixies with smatterings of Husker Du, Sugar, Bob Moulds solo stuff and Therapy?
I'll be honest, musically I've pretty narrow tastes

Can't think of ANY good singles really.The new AFI single is lodged in my head.And the singles from the newest Taking Back Sunday album.Also, the solo singles from James Dean Bradfield were alright.
On a seperate note, the new ...…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead album is class.

That may be, but I still live in the hope that one day I'll convince you to throw Foreigner onto your playlist. On a sidenote, it's always nice to leave a thread for a couple of days and come back to see how you are getting on in your one man crusade on said thread LTID :D
But seriously lads, Snow Patrol, Bell X1 and all the rest of that ****e are obviously bedwetter music, as Noel Gallagher would put it, and needs to be stamped out just as much as Westlife, Donna and Joe etc. do :)

Would anyone agree that this year hasnt been the greatest for music, when say compared to last year where you had Takk, Funeral, Silent Alarm to name a few.
Havent come across any alternative quality and I was slightly dissapointed with Empire.

albums wise there havent been many belters. Having real difficulty choosing a great album from this year when last year, there was so much quality.

Lads I think Empire deserves a chance here, as both an album and a single. Personally the Single was my favourite of the year. The album is what I'd call a grower. First time listening to it and you might pick out two or three songs you like, but the more you listen all the songs have something to offer. like a lot of recent guitar based bands they suffer from first album syndrome, as in their second album is nonsensed due to differings from the first one.
Anyways Empire for song of the year

Agree with ya on the fact that the album needs a couple of listens to before ya get into it. But I would have "Shoot the Runner" & "Stuntman" before "Empire" as bets song on the album

was disappointed at first, but its totally grown on me. Id have it as album of the year. "Stuntman" and "By My Side" as best tracks for me as well as the aforementioned..

I agree it is a grower but after a couple of weeks listening I now find myself going back to the first album more regularly. Its easy to get into any album for short period, IMO, the true test is whether you continually return to it after that initial addictive phase has expired.
I usually play it from number 7 onwards. Empire and Shoot the Runner are too obvious, for want of better expression, fairly bog standard with little variation.
Doberman is probably the only 1 that would make it onto the first album.

a lot of it sounds hugely influenced by Primal Scream.... Sun Rise Light Flies sounds a lot like Autobahn 66, Stuntman sounds like a lot of XTRMNTR.... but thats good.
