Well...It's about that time again. What were your favorite songs of 2006? I went with top 15 because I couldn't limit it to ten. Plus there are so many records I haven't heard so who knows how many great songs I've missed. But then, that's part of the fun of these lists: making new discoveries. So c'mon and share your choices.

No particular order:

"Formed a Band" - Art Brut
"Fire Department" - Be Your Own Pet
"Strange Apparition" - Beck
"Sukie in the Graveyard" - Belle & Sebastian
"The Rope" - Bettie Serveert
"The Crane Wife 3" - The Decemberists
"Backstabber" - The Dresden Dolls
"I See Colors" - Edan
"Crazy" - Gnarls Barkley

I can't find the top Albums of '06 thread though I know there is one. However I can't believe I left Camera Obscura off both this list and that one. I predicted Let's Get Out Of This Country would be a grower, and now I'm so in love with that album...I don't even wanna analyze it. It's just beautiful. Highlights: "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken", "Tears For Affairs" and "Dory Previn".
