the only ilx year-end poll that i will be conducting

Dimmu Borgir "Death Cult Armageddon", it's on in the car all the time.

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year.

Dimmu Borgir "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse", my favourite track off the above album.

2006 album : Tom Verlaine - Songs and Other Things

2006 track : Sonic Youth - Turquoise Boy

not 2006 album : V/A : Garage Beat Vol 5 'Readin' Your Will'

not 2006 track : Kirsty MacColl - They Don't Know

Non 2006 album: Solid Air - John Martyn
Non 2006 track: Jules Lost His Jewels - Ariel Pink

non 2006 album: George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
non 2006 songs: Its probably "The Waterfront" - John Lee Hooker
or "A Change is Gonna Come" - Sam Cooke

2006 track: probably "Unwritten" (Natasha Bedingfield) or "Unfaithful" (Rihanna), but that's really hard to say. (I also kept hitting 'repeat' on the Vanessa Hudgens single, the Nerina Pallott single + a bunch of others)

can only answer those two for now--I always listen to lots of older music, but I don't remember obsessing on anything--if I did it would've happened much earlier in the year.

2006 track: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy. Too bad the album was absolutely mediocre. Give us back solo Cee-Lo!

Non 2006 album: Dean Martin - Young Dino 4 CD box set. The coolest crooner ever to have lived.

2006 track: I'm stumped! and I don't use 'play count' so it's either Cosey Fanni Tutti - Licking The Juice (if this is anything close to as good as the new (2007) Throbbing Gristle album might be I am k-excited), or something off The Knife's album, probably Like A Pen or it could even be Louderbach - Grace (Anxiety) for being on the Sascha Funke mix cd and also getting cherrypicked a lot, when I'm bored, from it's parent album...

not 2006 album: Kirsty MacColl - From Croydon to Cuba... An Anthology (compilation, a constant comfort I've been returning to this like an electric blanket all year)) or Ricardo Villalobs - Achso (e.p.!)... or perhaps Keninckie - Get In?

not 2006 track: Nina Hagen - African Reggae by a mile.

Tuomas I know! I was like... where has this song been all my life?? It really does cheer me up immeasurably that one.

2006 track : Ekkehard Ehlers – Maria & Martha

not 2006 album : Robert Ashley - Private Parts (The Record)

not 2006 track : Dory Previn - The Lady WithThe Braid

what album released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year. Umm, The Mojo Folk compilation. Seriously!

what song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year. The Black Parade single, probably.

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year(for some of you, and i'm not naming names, this will probably be Tusk). Hmm, "The Return of the Durutti Column".

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year.
"Is this the way to Amarillo" and you ruddy know it!

Not 2006 album: Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks/V.A- Immediate Singles collection
Not 2006 track: ELO - Rockaria!

what song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year. "Ghetto Story" definitely, but I think it might have come out last year somewhere, which if it did then it is probably another Dave Kelly production probably Pinchers "Enemies" or Cham's "Rude Boy Pledge" on the Stage Show riddim.

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year(for some of you, and i'm not naming names, this will probably be Tusk). Orchestra Baobab's "Bamba" probably. Or Henri Texier's "Amir"? Both got a dozen or so listens.

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year. Jackie Mittoo, Bagga Walker & Pablov Black's "After Christmas". Thanks Soul Jazz (should also thank Woebot for writing about it on his 100 Best Records list which made me want to hear it even more.)

...ALTHOUGH, if I hadn't acquired them so recently, Ultrasound's album Everything Picture (and song Aire&Calder) and Lusk's album Free Mars (and its title-track) would both have been vying for the latter two spots.

at a rough guess. ellen's success probably in part because her album was released early in the year...

2006 song: T.I., "What You Know" / Los Amigos Invisibles, "All Day Today" (tie)

Non-2006 album: Cheap Trick, Dream Police (no tie, no contest, fifth year in a row)

combination of itunes (i always let songs play riiiight to the end especially so my play count will be correct) and remembering which cds were most in-constant-use before i got the ipod.

listened to too many good songs this year to pick just one

Non-2006 Album: Townes Van Zandt - 4-CD Texas Troubadour box sex
Non-2006 Song: Dinosaur Jr. - "Freak Scene"

The Knife - Silent Shout

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year,

Felt - Birdmen

2006 Song: Concretes, "On The Radio". The feel good hit of the year!

Non 2006 Album: Before Hollywood. I miss that dude a lot.

Non 2006 Song: Probably "We'll Run Away", by The Beach Boys, from All Summer Long. I know Pet Sounds is the classic and Smile is the avantgardist's baby, but I really prefer the looser sound of Today and All Summer Long.

Non-2006 Album - Life Without Buildings / Any Other City

non-2006 album: Dead C - Harsh 70s Reality
non-2006 song: Steely Dan - "The Boston Rag" (on repeat at my bookstore)

Scott Walker, "The Drift"... musical crack cocaine, especially "Cue";

>What song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year?

Cassie, "Me & U"... dark drug/rape pop of the highest order, like Lynch directing his next film as a teen oriented R'n'B pop song;

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year?

Associates, "Fourth Draw Down"... why did the post punk revival miss this bit out? Wankers!

>what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year?

Pinch, "Qawalli"... alright, it was officially released this yr, but its been on mixes since April 2005... a flickering construct of delicately darting drum patterns, percolating sensual sub bass and aching eastern melancholy, one of the most strikingly beautiful pieces of electronic music I've ever heard

what song released in 2006: "I Was A Lover," TVOTR

what album NOT released in 2006: Death Certificate, for a paper I was writing.

what song NOT released in 2006: "Money Jungle"

not 2006 track : Lightning Bolt - Megaghost

Basement Jaxx - Crazy Itch Radio

what song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year.

"Crazy," of course. That song owned the 2006 pop music world so much that I can't believe it never made it to #1.

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year

that Boom Selection bastard pop mp3 mix CD thing

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year.

Ween - "Flutes of the Chi"

t.i. king, nothing else even close

what song released in 2006 (reissue or otherwise) did you listen to the most this year.

something off king, no doubt. probably "i'm talkin to you." possibly "what you know" or "i'm straight." non-king song would be "pull shapes," pipettes.

what album NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year(for some of you, and i'm not naming names, this will probably be Tusk).

i don't really know, but acid by ray barretto seems likeliest.

what song NOT released in 2006 did you listen to the most this year.

no idea. my ipod would know but it's r.i.p. for fun, i'll say "11:59" by blondie, because i played the hell out of that song for a while.

non-2006 song: Pere Ubu-"Caligari's Mirror"

Song 2006: Blog 27 "Hey Boy," 'cause I watched this astonishingly great Gang Oscypa lipsynch a hundred times. Da girls are here and we da swingflies! [I'm pretty sure the single was this year; at least in some countries.]

Album not-2006: Ashlee Simpson Autobiography.

Single not-2006: Aly & A.J. "Rush" (late '05, but it's going on my 2006 P&J ballot 'cause this was its year of maximum impact); most played at home and most heard on the radio, nothing else comes close. Into your head, into your mind, out of your soul, race through your veins, you can't escape, you can't escape.

2006 track: not counting crap heard day in, day out of local radio at work - "Young Folks" or "LDN".

Non06 album: London 0 Hull 4; now in it's twentieth year, and 'still' 'going' 'strong'.

Non06 track: "The Sun a Small Star", The Servents.

non-2006 album: Denim, Back in Denim
non-2006 track, Wire, "Outdoor Miner"

non-2006 album earl brutus, "your majesty … we are here", edges it over the last ladytron album (which i discovered right at the start of the year) and "pacific ocean blue".

it's been a funny old year.

non-2006 album: Ahmad Jamal - Jamal Plays Jamal
non-2006 song: Nice and Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow

Anyway, I've tried quite a few new (and old) things because of this thread and I gotta say you guys were right about the Knife "Silent Shout". Believe it or not, I heard that for the first time tonight right after hearing Ultravox's "Vienna" album for the first time in its entirety. Really speechless at both albums right now. So much of the time synthesizer new wave era music seems shallow, throwaway to me, like bubblegum pop too thin to even blow any bubbles in. These two sound so substantial next to all that. What a breath of fresh air! Thanks ILM.

06 single: jt - sexyback

non 06 album - stars - set yourself on fire

non '06 single - big star - thirteen
