Best Song of 2006?

[Magicme]

So what your telling me is your becoming senile

That's ok it's not your fault it's just part of Gods twisted design for the human race

Yeah something like that! Next thing u know I will be sitting in a rocking chair listening to Daniel O'Donnell.....*sings "I wanna dance with you...."*

[Lim till i die]

Yeah something like that! Next thing u know I will be sitting in a rocking chair listening to Daniel O'Donnell.....*sings "I wanna dance with you...."*

With your brittle bones and varicose veins

Not a chance, couldn't have your death on my conciense

[Magicme]

With your brittle bones and varicose veins

Not a chance, couldn't have your death on my conciense

[jebus]

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

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

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

As per Today FM......
The top 3 songs of 2006,as voted by the Public,are:

1.Chasing Cars
2.Crazy
3.America.

I agree with the Top song....not too sure about the other 2.

[gustavo]

Jesus forgot about Crazy , brilliant song.

[DmanDmythDledge]

I thought Crazy was the most overrated song of the year.

[sligoman]

Richie Kavanagh's "Podge and Rodge song" .

Can't find it online yet but I'm sure it'll be on YouTube soon enough.

Here.

[Marked Man]

Surpised nobody's mentioned Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

Johnny Cash, best song of 2006. Now that IS impressive.

[Pauro 76]

another contender for worst song of 2006: The Streets “When you wasnt famous”. Awful effort.

[Beavis]

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.

[Pauro 76]

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.

[Kildare Lad]

I forgot about The Kooks - Naive

[Kingdom]

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.
