Radio Pat's Top 100 Songs of 2006: #76-100
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
So here it begins. All songs had to be from 2006 or was a part of a radio/TV station's rotation predominantly in 2006 to qualify, but not necessarily singles. Any ambitious (at least this early) #1 predictions are welcomed, just leave a comment.
76. Eskimo Joe - Sarah
77. Love Outside Andromeda - Measuring tape
78. Sneaky Sound System - Pictures (Tonite Only Remix)
79. The Grates - 19 20 20
80. Wolf & Cub - This Mess
81. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
82. The Rapture - The Devil
83. Evanescence - Lacrymosa
84. Little Birdy - Bodies
85. The Strokes - Ize Of The World
86. AFI - Love Like Winter
87. Lost Prophets - Rooftops
88. 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill (Bury Me)
89. Eagles of Death Metal - I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)
90. Keane - Atlantic
91. Beck - Cellphone's Dead
92. Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies
93. The Darkness - Is It Just Me
94. Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces
95. The Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You
96. Augie March - One Crowded Hour
97. Supermode - Tell Me Why (TV Rock Remix)
98. The Killers - Bones
99. Dallas Crane - Curiosity
100. The All-American Rejects - Move Along
Just a few quick notes here:
- Yes, I have been critical of Sarah because I reckon the chorus doesn't keep up the momentum that it opens with. But what a start it is! As for the opening lyrics "Sarah / Won't you tell me your name?", well, that's somewhere between puzzling and pointless.
- Look out for Australia's Wolf & Cub in 2007. This Mess has finally started getting play on Channel V.
- I wish I'd given Dallas Crane's Factory Girls album more of a chance.

Wow. Very ambitious, I look forward to reading the list. A few questions/comments though.
1. Where did you get your list of songs from 2006? Did you compile it yourself or use something like triple j's Hottest 100 shortlist to guide you?
2. One Crowded Hour at #96? Are you insane?! That should be in the top 20!
3. Same as above for P!ATD.
Can't wait for the rest of it. I've got a few yearly top 10 lists to post, which I should probably get around to.
1. I used iTunes to generate anything with 2006 as the year to get started, sorted it by most played, then filtered through my "Tracks" folder for anything after January 1, 2006. Then I checked a few old playlists and such. Much tinkering, I assure you.
2. It's a brilliant song, without question, but I couldn't keep listening to it because it's not really in my style. It was originally up in the 60s, but I ensured it never left the 100 because it deserves it.
3. I Write Sins Not Tragedies isn't my favourite P!ATD song. I'm not afraid to pick album tracks.
I still think Sarah is better than what you rate it, but according to everyone else I'm probably the only person in Australia who actually likes it. There's at least half a dozen people who have told me I'm wrong on Sarah, so I'm willing to concede.
Good to see 19 20 20, the only song of the grates I can ever remember, despite the fact I knew the album backwards at one point
As I mentioned in my notes, I'll happily agree with you on at least half of the song. Hey, it's my #76!
You knew The Grates album backwards? Any Satanic messages?
No, but I have the urge to buy sherbet (austin powers joke)
