Final Best Song Lists of 2006 - Topic Powered by eve community

We talked about doing this in the "Best of 2006: Discussion" thread, so I'm going to take some initiative and actually start it.

Basically, we want a final list of the Best Songs of 2006. I'll volunteer to tally the results. Here are the rules:

1. Make a list of your 30 favorite songs of 2006. You can include more, but I'm only counting your first 30.

2. Unlike the Best Album Lists, we're not using an ordered scoring system. The song that wins is simply the song that shows up with most frequency. If you want to order your list, you can, but #30 will carry the same weight as #1.

3. These are simply songs from 2006 albums. They don't have to be official singles.

4. Use your best judgment in cases like Tom Waits' Orphans where some of the songs were previously released. I'm not going to check all the songs, but “Fall of Troy” is like 10 years old, even though it is a great song.

5. Like the album thread, I'm only counting your list if you've been here for 2 months or have 30 posts (at the time you posted your list).

6. Deadline is January 15th.

I'll try to tally the results in this first post as often as I can.

Post away.
