Best song of the year?

[MyLastView]

Like I said in the other thread, the majority of music in 2006 was crappy. So, time for me to honor the few stand-out singles of '06!! Also, feel free to post your lists here =)

Paris Hilton, "Stars Are Blind" - Can someone say INFECTUOUS?! It gets stuck in my head all the time. It's the perfect summer song.

Paris Hilton, "Nothing In This World" - One of my top 3 singles of 2006 for sure. Too bad it flopped...it's an AMAZING song. Perfect pop, right there.

Pink, "Who Knew" - Again, one of my top 3 singles of 2006 and it sucks that it flopped in the US. It's so emotional and Pink's vocals are amazing, as well as it being well written.

Pink, "Stupid Girls" - This has been needed to be said for a long time. It's a very fun, dancey song and it's impossible to resist.

JoJo, "Too Little Too Late" - Very few people seem to dislike this song. Jo has an amazing vocal range, and this song proves it. It's just a near perfect song.

30 Seconds To Mars, "The Kill" - The best rock song of 2006 BY FAR. Jared has an amazing voice and this song is very well layed out. Definitely a stand out.

Ashlee Simpson, "Invisible" - It took me a while to like this song, but it grew on me. It proves Ashlee has a good voice, although it isn't the best. Jaded Era did an amazing song and Ashlee pur her own spin on it.

Ashlee Simpson, "L.O.V.E." - It was released late 2005, but it still had effects in early '06. It's the perfect dance song of this year. Very fun and catchy.

Hilary Duff, "Play With Fire" - Something about this song is amazing, and I'm not sure what. But it's very retro, and has a minor hint of rock in it. It's perfect to dance to.

Kiley Dean, "Who I Am" - Kiley deserves much more attention than she gets, but this song is awesome. Kiley is an amazing singer. This song is the perfect balance of pop, rock, and r&b.


So that is my list =) What are your's?

[Filthy Pop]

This is hard too.

Carrie Underwood and Before He Cheats for sure.
Christina Aguilera- Hurt
Beyonce- Ring The Alarm
JoJo- Too Little Too Late
Pink- Who Knew
Evanescence- Call Me When You're Sober
Mary J. Blige- Enough Cryin'

I know I'm forgetting a lot though.

[That Skipping Rope.]

"Smile" - Lily Allen
"This is Not Real Love" - George Michael f/ Mutya

[Wavey✨️]

"Too Little Too Late"-Jojo killed it
"Bossy"-Kelis came back in a big way,1st Top 10 Debut for "Kelis Was Here"
" Buttons"-PCD killed it.You can't say they didn't.
"London Bridge"-I think its good.Do you think its good?
"Me & U"-The beat is addictive,her voice rides with the beat.
" Call On Me"-Never heard Janet like this(i think).Video was great.
" U And Dat"-This song is hard,I don't care wat ppl say.
" Maneater"-Nelly kills it.

I have more to post later.

Perferably singles only, but I guess album tracks are fine.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I could go on for a while.

Songs from Imogen Heap, KT Tunstall, Chantal Kreviazuk, Sarah Harmer, Dixie Chicks, Blue October, Zero 7, The Fray, Melissa McClelland.

Anyone who thinks music was bad this year obviously needs to go beyond what radio gives them and start listening to music for music's sake, not music made for the purpose of selling a product.

[Minimalism]

Here's mine:

The Fray - How To Save A Life
Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice
KT Tunstall - Black Horse And Cherry Tree
John Mayer - Waiting On The World To Change
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Nelly Furtado - Maneater
Justin Timberlake - My Love
Lily Allen - Smile

These are the ones that I can remember right now, perhaps I'll post again later.

[joker]

My Morning Jacket - "Off the Record"
Pearl Jam - "World Wide Suicide"
Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy"
Keane - "Is it Any Wonder"
Muse - "Knights of Cydonia"
Muse - "Starlight"
The Fray - "How to Save a Life"
KT Tunstall - "Black Horse & Cherry Tree"
Brandtson - "Earthquakes and Sharks"
Snow Patrol - "Chasing Cars"

I've gotten sick of a couple of these, but I put them here on the strength of how much I listened/liked 'em 6-8 months ago, and probably again 1-2 years from now.

I completely agree. CHR Pop has been pretty much crap all year, but 2006 was filled with so much great music. It really has been a deep year for music with so many great releases. More people need to explore music outside of CHR pop to discover the better music.

Some of the best songs this year I can think of off the top of my head include:

TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me
Destroyer - Rubies
Destroyer - European Oils
Yo La Tengo - Pass The Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind
Bonnie Prince Billy - Cursed Sleep
Serena Maneesh - Drain Cosmetics
Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On
Neko Case - Star Witness
Guillemots - Trains To Brazil
Junior Boys - In The Morning

[musicology]

Be Without You
Aint No Other Man
Sexy Back
My Love
So Sick
Irreplacable
Promiscous Girl
Check On It
Pump It
Too Little Too late
Black Horse and a Cherry Tree
Stupid Girls
Crazy

I really didn't like music until the second half of the year. It was off to a sucky start at the beginning.

[MyLastView]

It would be an absolute crime to not mention now..........

Megan McCauley, "Tap That" - Probably my new favorite single of the year. It's fucking perfect

[620 Soul Train]

T.I. - "Why You Wanna"

The killer bassline sample just kills it, man. So much that it slowly climbed to number one on my charts. The flow and the beats are just perfectly blended into one awesome song!

Snow Patrol - "Chasing Cars"

Yeah I hated this at first and found it awfully boring. Now it has not only grown on me but I absolutely love the track. This is something I'd skip at the gym though..Anyway the lyrics are downright creative and infectiuos. Where is Coldplay now? Well Snow Patrol is just filling in that void that the industry needs for now..great music!

Pharrell - Number One

This is was also a slow riser on my charts to number one. Pharrell can sang, man. Absolutely! Hope to hear more from him!!

Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most
Now I know why this song has been remade more than once. It's a great song, lyrically. You play any mix, and you'd still get goose bumps. Sorry I only cna speak for myself. These guys had a number one country album, crossover success, and multiple single on the country charts!
