Now that the dust has settled on all of the "best of" debates, I would like to make my contribution to the mess of "best of" lists. My criteria for making this list is simple. Most music sounds like refridgerator buzz to me. If a song can somehow cut through the buzz, welcome to my list.
2006 Songs
Hot Chip "Colours" - Bleeps, pings and pongs. Computer love never sounded so nice. This is good finger painting music.

The Roots "Game Theory" - At some point hip-hop will catch up to the Roots.

Amy Winehouse "Back To Black" - Lauryn Hill are you listening?

Artic Monkeys "Perhaps Vampires is a bit Strong" - This song hits punk brilliance at the 3:32 mark.

The Changes "When I Wake" - May very well be my best kept secret. I'm not good at keeping secrets.

Thom Yorke "Black Swan" - For all you ugly ducklings. Your anthem has arrived.

Regina Spektor "On The Radio" - I like listening to this while drinking my favorite cola and eating chips.

Red Hot Chili Peppers "Charlie" - John Frusciante is a golden god.

Justin Timberlake "Love Stoned" - Leave some cool for the rest of us...

Emily Haines "Crowd Surf Off a Cliff" - My song of the year.
