What will be said about 2006? Will music historians look back at this past year as one that defined or changed music in any significant way? Who can say? For all we know
a race of super-intelligent roaches may be sorting through files on centuries-old servers found amongst the still-glowing ruins of CBC Vancouver, and come across this list.
Will they be able to understand it?
Will they rock out? Hard to say. Roaches, even super-intelligent roaches, are tough to figure out, but whether or not the roaches are able to enjoy good music is not my problem. My problem is getting to the LC before it closes. I passed it earlier, and it was a madhouse! *sob* A MADHOUSE!
Okay, that's about as far as I should probably run with my roach theory. Let's get to the list. Here they are... the
top 94 tracks of 2006!
