i gotta say, i agree at least with number ONE! that’s already somethin..
i never get it how ppl can come up with a list of 100 songs.. how do u choose the 39 instead of the 40?? why not switch?? or the 26 with the 47.. whatever.. a list of 5 or 10 is still ok, but a 100.. doubtful..
wtf is the Firgie London Brigde track doin in this list anyway!!!??? and personaly, My Love should be ahead of Sexyback..
otherwise, not that bad..

No Tool? No Muse? No Deftones? No Army Of Anyone? No Stone Sour? No Audioslave? Yet the Killers make the top 20.

God, Rolling Stone is gay.

I honestly don’t understand some of these choices at all. The Pussycat Dolls? Fergie? This stuff isn’t even fun bubblegum – it’s completely unlistenable. Miss Murder boasts as much rock and roll danger as a night of Guitar Hero. Ridin’ is loads of fun at a party where everybody sings along in mockery of the whole thing. It’s no good outside of that setting. It’s Goin’ Down? I refuse to accept that this is a song, even in the loosest sense of the term. It’s a metronome with a guy mumbling over it. Still can’t argue with Crazy.

I agree with Tom. I haven’t even heard of half of these songs. Muse should be in the top 20. I can understand Audioslave, Army and Deftones not being there but Stone Sour, come on. Incubus has just got on the scene too…more props to rock please.

As usual I never agree with RS. (Of course RS never supports most artists I listen to anyway) Here are songs from this year that I think deserve mention

Hinder – Lips of an Angel
(this song is a powerful ballad, I know RS does not like cock rock, so I’m sure this is why it did not make the list)

Nickelback – Far Away
Stone Sour – Through Glass
George Strait – Give it away
Pat Green – Feels just like it should
Radney Foster – Half of my mistakes
Brad Paisley – She’s Everything
(of course RS does not do country which is understandable)

Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars (should be in Top 10 on your list and you have it mid way through)

I think Rolling Stone needs to listen to more music. What’s your record collection consist of? 40 CDs? You keep repeating the same artists, for god sake.

One obvious omission: Jarvis’ “C*nts are Still Ruling the World” which deserves a nom if only for the title alone.

whoa whoa whoa. “SOS” and “The Funeral” should be so much higher up on this list. Hell, so should “London Bridge” (I hate Fergie, but that song was so damn catchy, and you did put her busted face on your cover.) AFI? The Dixie Chicks? Oh please.

Mark M in Texas, I sincerely hope that you are joking. Hinder’s entry in the soundalike competition is about five years late. Nickelback? HAHAHAHA

Well my entry for Hinder is consistently in the Top 20 downloads on iTunes, and is always in the Top 20 on 20 on XM radio. So I must be an idiot and the only one who likes it. I hate hip-hop/rap for the most part and those songs seem to be all that America listens to. We need a great RNR band to come along.

If you want to check out some great music or discover a band for the first time try:
Dark New Day, Sevendust, Engine, King’s X, Radney Foster, Jimmy LaFave, George Devore, Vallejo, Jeff Scott Soto, Pat Green, Bleu Edmundsen Band, Randy Rogers.

PATHETIC, no wonder no one buys Rolling Stone anymore.
There were only 2 songs on the whole list that were worthy of being there. Rolling Stone magazine no shit-all about music.

Why do I still read this magazine???

Maybe because I like to feel superior?

Mark M – Citing the popularity of song will not in any way convince me of its quality. In fact, it convinces me of its crapiness. If 50 million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.

You yourself mention that you hate a genre that seems to be “all America listens to.”

‘Crazy’ is number one? Come on! I’m so bored of that song. If I never hear it again until my funeral, it would still be too soon. It would be enough motivation for me to resurrect myself just long enough to press the ’stop’ button. Crazy = shitty. Also, way too much rap. Is this Rolling Stone or Vibe Magazine that I’m reading? Having said all that, an ok list. Well(-ish) done.

Mark M — Maybe if you stop listening to Hinder you would see there are great rock and roll bands out there. Start with #2 on Rolling Stone’s list, the Raconteurs. Then go to a U2 concert. Also, try “Your Touch” by the Black Keys. Very surprised Rolling Stone left this off the list.

Mark M in Texas….you make me laugh. Hinder? Nickelback? Wake up man. Not music.

Rolling Stone seriously put Fergie and the Pussy Cat Dolls on this list? For all the indie-arty shit on this list, you still felt compelled to put absolute shit like Fergie and PCD on there?
Well congrats, Rolling Stone. You might be the only publication putting those talentless pop-tarts on anybody’s “best of”.

ALSO…”Not Ready to Make Nice” by The Dixie Chicks is a top 10 song this year for f-ing sure! I’m not a huge country fan, but this was their rebuttal to their firestorm, and it whips ass! But wait…better leave it off so you can stick 2 Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs songs on there…that nobody has ever heard of, or wants to hear.

ALSO…where’s The Fray? You couldn’t squeeze “How to Save a Life” anywhere on there?

Piss on the majority of this list. The only thing that saves it is The Raconteurs at #2. But “Blue Veins” is better than “Level”.

ALSO!!! (this is my final rant)…”Life Wasted” by Pearl Jam is better than “Worldwide Suicide”.

I’ve seen U2 24 times, on every tour multiple times since War. Pearl 27 times. No need to lecture me about great bands, I’m talking NEW BANDS. I have a huge cd collection and can say that it does not include one Bob Dylan record because I may be one of the few that thinks he is overrated. Do I like Hinder, no, I just like the song and it has merit for being on there, especially over no talent assclowns like the majority of the list. Raconteurs are fair, but not great. I usually don’t like anything RS Mag says is popular.

Why is Rolling Stone so irrelevant?

The Pack’s “Vans” is the second best rap song of the year?!

Are you f***ing serious?
Cassie’s song about giving head is top 50?

This is what happens when you suppress your urge to give Bob Dylan all of the top 10 slots.

I also agree with tom. Tool and Audioslave put out great albums this year and no songs were on the list. I also think that Drive-By Truckers “World of Hurt” should be on the list as well as Pearl Jam’s “Life Wasted”.

Flags of freedom

I generally have a lot of respect for Rolling Stone’s “Best of” lists– their 500 Greatest Albums is great, for instance– but I must say that this one is pretty pathetic. Is the category best songs of the year or most popular singles? I hope I’m not alone here…?

Fergie should not be on that list. I know it was popular, but that song is absolute garbage. I’m glad Level, You only live once and Read my mind made the list, those are my favourite songs of those respective albums.

Although I think Gnarls Barkley’s cover of “Gone Daddy Gone” is better than Smiley Faces.

Also, I’ve never heard that Be Your Own Pet song, do they have a new album out?

To the guy that said Hinder and Nikelback should be on the list, are you fucking kidding?

i think promiscuous should have been top 10 for sure. it was huge.

I thought the Red Hot Chili Peppers deserved a little more recognition. I think Snow and Wet Sand belong on the list

I thought the Red Hot Chili Peppers deserved a little more recognition. I think Snow and Wet Sand belong on the list

Top Ten Singles of 2006:

10. Hot Chip-Over and Over
9. Jessica Simpson-A Public Affair
8. My Chemical Romance-Welcome to the Black Parade
7. Justin Timberlake feat T.I.-My Love
6. Gwen Stefani-Wind it Up
5. Madonna-Get Together
4. The Rapture-Get Myself Into It
3. The Presets-Are You the One?
2. Beyonce-Irreplaceable
1. Gnarls Barkley-Crazy

Gnarls #1??? Why??? That song sucks!!! There were so many other songs that deserved that honor…I mean anything by Red Hot Chili Peppers or John Legend. Rolling Stone always does this..it loves to prove that it can really kiss ass! You didn’t even mention anything by Robin Thicke or Ciara? But you sure put in Cassie (who you say can’t sing worth a damn, but you gave her a 3 1/2 star rating). Where is your Madonna? Where is Common? Where is Audioslave? No Janet Jackson? No Pharrell? No Fantasia? Mary J. Blige???? C’mon this is a bullshit list!!! Just don’t tell Kanye he didn’t make this list because that dude will lose his motherfu***** mind!!!

no neil young, no clapton/cale, no paul simon, only one dylan/petty

Rolling Stone you’ve lost your mind!!!!!

This list is a piece of shit.

First of all, “Ridin’ Dirty” is #3 on the list, while “Kick, Push” by Lupe Fiasco didn’t even make it. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I’ll tell you what list “Ridin’ Dirty” will be on in a few years: Rolling Stone’s 100 Worst Songs of All Time.

Panic! At The Disco????????!?!?!? What is wrong with you people??? Don’t the guys in that band realize that they’ve succeeded N’SYNC and the Backstreet Boys as the new boy bands for 12-year-olds and gay high school kids??

Also, “Tell Me Baby” is a good RHCP tune, but “Turn It Again” possibly rocks more than any song they’ve ever done.

That all said, at least “Crazy” is #1 as it should be.

Rolling Stone, grow some balls, please.

Also, no John Mayer (”Gravity,” “Belief”) or Neil Young (”After the Garden”). WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?

alright, I’ll take Crazy as number one. But its not my favorite Gnarls song. That honor belongs to Go-Go Gadget Gospel. At any rate, songs that were missing (In the order I think of them):
Mike Post Theme- The Who
Intimate Secretary- The Raconteurs
Dani California- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Snow- RHCP
Fragments- The Who
Bones- The Killers
Lithium- The Polyphonic Spree
The Captain and the Kid- Elton John
I’m Bound to Pack it Up- Alumiiinum

tool-right in two or rosetta stoned
red hot chili peppers-dani california
avenged sevenfold-beat and the harlot

Gnarls Barkley- Crazy
Raconteurs- Steady as She Goes
The Killers- When You Were Young
Yo La Tengo- Mr. Tough
Deftones- Hole in the Earth
Trail of Dead- Wasted State of Mind
Gnarls Barkley- St. Elsewhere
The Beatles- Drive My Car/The Word/What You’re Doing
Raconteurs- Level
Beck- Cellphone’s Dead
AFI- Love Like Winter
Brand New- Jesus Christ
Decemberists- Yanke Bayonet
Destroyer- European Oils
John Mayer- Waiting on the World to Change
Swan Lake- Widow’s Walk
The Mars Volta- Tetragrammaton
The Mars Volta- Viscera Eyes
TV on the Radio- I Was a Lover

wolf parade-i’ll believe in anything

the most perfectly structured and syncopated tune, indie-rock salvation

I’m happy to see that the Killers made it to this list…not once but twice. Also, I’m so happy that Read My Mind is actually listed higher than When You Were Young….simply because I knew that When you were Young, although a great song, was NOT the best song off of the record as the RS reviewer pointed out for Sam’s Town. I love seeing RS eat its own words!

1.worlwide suicide – PEarl Jam
2.Severed Hand – Pearl Jam
3.The Restless Consumer – Neil Young
4.Tomorrow Never Knows/Withing You Without You – The Beatles
5.The Funeral-Band Of Horses

some songs that i feel deserve a spot, i don’t know enough about modern music, especially rap, to make a definative list

“Hands” Raconteurs
“Wolf Like Me” TV on the Radio
“Cellphone’s Dead” Beck
“Someday Baby” Bob Dylan

One of my favorite songs of the year is definitely “Mama’s Room” by Under the Influence of Giants, but I haven’t heard a thing about them anywhere. Am I crazy? I really dig that disco-funk jam.

fuck you rolling stone…i CANNOT believe that you put ‘ridin’ as the number 3 BEST song of the year…maybe i could understand that ranking for most popular songs of the year, but you can’t show it as the number three best song of the year…i hate you guys.

ps: Mark M in Texas…never post a comment here again if you’re going to put Nickelback as a consideration for best songs of the year. you’re a douche

No Dani California, or Snow (RHCP)? No Wolf Like Me (Tv on the Radio)? No Life Wasted (Pearl Jam)? No Original Fire (Audioslave)? No Love Like Winter (AFI)?

Fall Out Boy, Cassie, Fergie, and MCR all being on the list? Somebody explain to me why I still read RS magazine, please. They’ve lost their minds.

10. “Be Here Now” – Ray Lamontagne
9. “Province” – TV on the Radio
8. “Come Back” – Pearl Jam
7. “Workingman’s Blues” – Bob Dylan
6. “Wide Awake” – Audioslave
5. “Steady as She Goes” – The Raconteurs
4. “The Crane Wife 3″ – The Decemberists
3. “Pass the Hatchet, I Think I’m Goodkind” – Yo La Tengo
2. “Love and Communication” – Cat Power
1.”And it Rained All Night” – Thom Yorke

Eh not the best list. Here is my two cents: Broken Boy Soldiers > Level, and Intimate Secretary > Steady as She Goes… But it is good to see the best Rock and Roll Band in the world today get some respect.

F you rolling stone. i cant believe that you put ‘ridin’ as the number 3 BEST song of the year. i could see 3rd most popular song of the year, but 3rd best song of the year is the number one most annoying song of the year according to you guys? damn, you’ve gone downhill.

ps: Mark M in Texas…never post here again. your selections are ludacris

for me,the best single of 2006 was Neil Diamond’s rocking duet with Brian Wilson “Delirious Love”.Also
“Save Me A Saturday Night” from the same internationally acclaimed,internationally Gold album.Seems only Rolling Stone and the Grammy Awards still refuse to give the Brooklyn Neil props for
an album that every songwriter wants to replicate (is it by coincidences that every singer/songwriter from the 70’s is coming out with a ‘12 Songs’ sounding album after Neil did?)

Rosanne Cash “Burn Down This Town”
Rosanne Cash “Black Cadillac”
Tom Waits “Bottom of the World”
Johnny Cash “On the Evening Train”
Decemberists “Crane Wife 3″
Richard Buckner “Town”
Neko Case “John Saw That Number”
Dixie Chicks “Voice Inside My Head”
Dixie Chicks “Not Ready to Make Nice”
Gillian Welch “Black Star”
Drive-By Truckers “Easy on Yourself”
Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint “Tears, Tears, and More Tears”

this list is all kinds of wrong. First off, The Who’s “A Man in a Purple Dress” is, far and away, the greatest song released this year. Costello/Toussaint, Jerry Lee Lewis, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, and Tom Petty tracks from 2006 follow accordingly.

If that’s the ‘Best’, I’d hate to hear the worst!

umm ridin’ at number three?? i’m sorry but what were you thinking?! that is one of the worst songs i have ever heard! and then you don’t even place cat power on the list until after fergie’s london bridge! and what about tv on the radio’s wolf like me, just because david bowie is featured on province doesn’t make it a better track! sorry to be complaining but i thought this was rolling stone magazine not
seventeen!

I hate emo, and its magazines like you and gay pop radio stations that make it popular, people suck so bad.(sorry thats my emo rant)

As for the greatest songs, i think any Raconteurs, Pearl Jam, RHCP, Incubus, Wolfmother, Stone Sour, Army of Anyone, and Dropkick Murphys is good. Everything else is crap

I have to say the list is pretty bad, Good things is no nickelback (a puke a little in my mouth everytime I hear one of there songs) or hinder. Bad things where is TOOL???? Can anyone in there right minds tell me that Ridin guy or the Pussycatdolls have anything near the the talent as Maynards baby toe.

My list

1)Tool – the pot or rosetta stoned
2)Pearl Jam – Life wasted or severed hand
3)Raconteurs- Steady as She Goes
4)Neil Young – The Restless Consumer
5)Wolfmother-Joker and the Thief
6)Muse- Pick one there all good
7)TV on the Radio – Wolf Like Me
8)RHCP – Wet Sand
9)Incubus – Anna Molly
10)Billy Talent – Devil in a midnight mass

would Pearl Jam fans stop all the whining about Pearl Jam not being on the list enough?I think Rolling Stone has given more attention to this early 90’s grunge band then any other magazine (who else put them on the cover this year?.These grunge bands are pretty irrelevant in 2006 (with all of
Clive Davis’ money,their new album
has yet to to go platinum.Same with Audioslave).

But what is up with Rolling Stone
completely ignoring the excellent New York Dolls song with Michael Stipe of REM-”Dancing on the Lip of a Volcano”?.Morrissey also put out some great music this year.

hey mark m in texas, why don’t you and bono get together and then F*&@ off and die

why can’t we find a faulty helicopter to give bono a ride

die u2 die

Where the hell is “I don’t feel like dancin’” from The Scissor Sisters?!?!?

UHHHH, MR CLAPTON IS GOD CLAPTON WAS JUST HANGING WITH U2 BACKSTAGE IN AUSTRALIA

I agree with Random, gah i feel so stupid refering to people by their screen names, but anyways… I think Justin Timberlake, Fergie, and a whole lot of others should be kicked off the list. Im glad that you guys put Beck on twice, but The Chili Peppers should have had more recignition than Tell Me Baby, I liked Dani California more…. I dont really agree with #1, its just too overplayed and annoying. Whats with the emo bands anyways? i thought you guys were anti-emo. blah.

1) “life wasted” – pearl jam
2) “citizens of tomorrow” – tokyo police club
3) “the black parade” – my chemical romace
4) “you only live once” – the strokes

basically everything else isn’t worth mentioning… that means you bob dylan, rancontuers, gnarls barkly, tool, deftoes, killers, brand new, and any other artist that releases shitty music in the last 12 months.

how to save a life definitely should have made the top 20. Way to much rap and teenage crap!!! Come On! Even my 13 year old sister knows Pussicat Dolls, AFI and Dixie Chicks suck!!!! Enough of all the preteen bubblegum songs, the mind-numbingly stupid rap with no lyrics!!! We want rock!!! real badass rock!!! Not some Emo dudes but good old fashioned rock singers, dirty, drunk, high-most-of-the-time singers!!!

Not some Emo dudes, but good old fashioned rock singers, dirty, drunk, high-most-of-the-time singers!!!

i agree with the number one song, but you have to put Long Time by The Roots in the top 5. Its the best song from the best group in music

wow i dont know how RS got the ballsto post that list so here are 10 songs that need some recognition.
30 Seconds to Mars – From Yesterday
Arctic Monkeys – From The Ritz to the Rubble
Muse – City of Delusion
My Chemical Romance – Famous Last Words
Placebo – Meds
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Snow
Say Anything – Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
The Secret Machines – Lightning Blue Eyes
Thome Yorke – Black Swan
Wolfmother – White Unicorn

I Rolling Stone hates Tool because they aren’t media-friendly, but they did release one of the best hard rock songs of the year. “Vicarious”

All the songs on 10,000 Days are better than 98 of the songs on that list

Neil Diamond-I’m On To You

the best jazz-rock putdown song of the year!

“baby I wish you well
but loving you was hell”

also “If You Could Read My Mind” by Johnny Cash

ask Rick Rubin what two albums he is most proud of producing.I bet you it wont be the Red Hot Chili Crappers or the Dixie chickens.

Well I’m a pop-punker at heart so my list may be a bit odd to some of you so:

10. Taking Back Sunday – MakeDamnSure
9. Silverstein – My Heroine
8. Army Of Freshmen – Juliet
7. Hit The Lights – Bodybag
6. Mariana’s Trench – Say Anything
5. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Face Down
4. Hedley – 3-2-1
3. Cartel – Honestly
2. Aiden – Die Romantic
1. Mest – Kiss Me, Kill Me

Where is Dani California?

At least half of the songs listed do not belong here. Way too much disposable pop and rap and very little actual rock music. Is anyone going to remember Chamillionaire or the Pussycat Dolls ten years from now? But “Crazy” deserves to be #1. It’s simply a great song with staying power that I have yet to be tired of.

Here are some that weren’t included but worth a listen. Some of the titles are unfamiliar as they are UK/overseas-only releases:

* Christina Aguilera, “Hurt”
* All Saints, “Rock Steady”
* Nelly Furtado, “Say It Right”
* Goldfrapp, “Number One”
* Jamelia, “Beware of the Dog”
* George Michael/Mutya, “This Is Not Real Love”
* Paul Oakenfold/Brittany Murphy, “Faster Kill Pussycat”
* Scissor Sisters, “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’”
* Sound Bluntz, “(Maybe You’ll Get) Lucky”
* Sugababes, “Red Dress”

No Tool? Come now, Vicarious was the perfect indictment of a degrading society obsessed with ever more extreme reality TV and the suffering of others. And it was good to drive to.

Hello?! Do you know the band called TOOL??? Yeah, the band that released 10000days. Yeah, sucha great album. Yeah… And now can you tell me why they aren’t in the list? Is that because they are not media-friendly??? Or is that because Rolling Stone people spend their days reading gossip news instead of listening real MUSIC??

oooh, fuck off!!!!

If you people hate Rolling Stone so much, disagree with every comment, and center your lives around bitching on/about this website/magazine… WHY DO YOU STILL READ IT? You may leave at anytime.

HA! Those of you who bitch and complain that the list is wrong, then suggest 10 songs from the EXACT same genre obviously couldn’t make a list of the 100 best songs of the year. #1 [Insert Rock Band], #2 [Insert Rock Band], #3 [Insert Rock Band]… The list is about every kind of music, people. When Rolling Stone makes the “Top 100 Rock Songs of the Year,” you can bitch about it. Until then, STFU.

I would have liked to have seen Death Cab For Cutie’s “I Will Follow You Into The Dark” on here. My favorite song from this year. But then again, The Pussycat Whores made the list, so my tastes and Rolling Stone’s taste don’t seem to be very similar. Oh well

This list is terrible. You say I can stop reading whenever I want but I can’t stop the magazine from reasssuring the morons who like all this crap to keep listening to it. Rolling Stone holds weight in the world and has a responsibility not to do crap like this.

where in hell is brand new?

I would have added a couple more by Dylan – Nettie Moor and Someday Baby. But where are the indie darlings – Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin? Half that album belongs on this list.

“I Am Warm and Powerful”
“Oregon Girl”
“Housefire”

I don’t know why my post was deleted but I said that “Crazy” deserved to be #1 on the list but I also complained about the amount of disposable pop and rap on the list.

’sfunny my previous post is up now. Please ignore my most recent post.

How about The Fray’s “Over My Head”?

I would agree with Brad and say that “I Will Follow You into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie deserved a nod. Also, the Dixie Chicks “Not Ready to Make Nice.” And I agree that The Fray is a pretty big breakout band to miss on this list.

Also, “Don’t Wait” and “So Long, So Long” by Dashboard Confessional.

I actually really like this list since it encompasses so many different tastes. However, how can you have two Decemberists songs and not have The Crane Wife III as one of them? That was my favorite song of the year hands down. Also I agree with most posters there should have been at least one RHCP song on the list. To whoever mentioned Wolf Parade’s song, that is one of my all time favorite songs, too bad its from 2005.

The song that moved me most this year was “Alone, Jealous, & Stoned” by Secret Machines. Never heard it? Check out their website and hear the whole album for free.

I would have added “Oh Yeah” by Huck Johns. Very Catchy, Very AC/DC-ish.

Did Imogen Heap’s song “Hide and Seek” come out in 2006? I’m not certain, but that was a good one, as was Sia’s “Breathe Me”, but neither of which I’m sure were previously released.

Yeah, this is probably one of the worst music lists I’ve ever read. In my opinion the only good song on the list is ‘I’m Shipping Up to Boston’ by the Dropkick Murphy’s. I think there was enough good music in this year to not make the list complete crap, but thats just my opinion.

Oh,God. This is it. RS you have lost the plot. Obvious choices from huge bands. The dumbest choices immaginable from indie bands. It’s like you just don’t care at all about being a magazine the critiques music, that demands more or celebrates the truly unique and worthy. I know this comment will never change the downward spiral you have been in for 10 years so I guess I’ll rap it up and just got cancel my subscription, I can’t believe I’ve let it go for so long.

What’s missing:

The Killers ~ Read My Mind
Nas ~ Hip-Hop Is Dead
Audioslave ~ Original Fire

R.Shef., you owe me a dinner.

Ray LaMontagne – Crazy (Gnarls Barkley cover).

“Crazy” was in fact the worst, most annoying song of the year.

Dani California and all Fray songs suck horribly. Dani was two steps backwards for the Chili Peppers after some real growth on Californication and By the Way. Honestly, the most enjoyable song of the year was “We’re from Barcelona” by I’m From Barcelona.

i had higher expectations for this list….if the rock and roll blog people have anything to do with this they should be ashamed. They are always the first ones to put the new indie band or pavement on such a high pedestal….yet the majority of there list is very commercial and unauthentic…….maybe you should have titled it best singles list anyway..

How can you not include “Hate Me” by Blue October… Foiled was one of the top 5 albums of the year!!!

you can basically but any track on Pearl jam’s new album along with the strokes and tool, all the meaningless pop, rap and cock rock is ridiculous

The best song of 2006 is “NOT READY TO MAKE NICE” BY DIXIE CHICKS cuz they are the best and the song is great. That song was the best song they have ever made. Forget the dixie chicks bashers!!! Yall know this is true. this is the best song ever!!!

SNOW BY RHCP, HOW IN THE WORLD DID IT NOT MAKE IT!!!!!

Just a dozen of the most played on my mp3 player:

1. Knights of Cydonia – Muse
2. The Kill – 30 Seconds to Mars
3. Smile – Lily Allen
4. How To Save A Life – The Fray
5. Anna Molly – Incubus
6. Le Disko – Shiny Toy Guns
7. Jique – Brazilian Girls
8. Vicarious – Tool
9. In Regards To Myself – Underoath
10. Like A Star – Corinne Bailey Rae
11. Capillarian Crest – Mastodon
12. DARE – Gorillaz

How about Mardy Bum from the Arctic Monkeys

not a bad list. crazy’s pretty fucking good. i think say it right by nelly furtado is better than promiscuous.

This list was really painful.

Corinne Bailey Rae at a lowly 64?

No MUSE?

Beirut – “Postcards From Italy”, Kaki King – “Yellowcake”, Neko Case – “Star Witness”
and WHERE THE FLYING FUCK IS JOANNA NEWSOM? She is one of the most talented songwriters of our generation. How can you include complete tripe like Rihanna and Cassie? I doubt they even write their own music.

It’s hard to deny that “Crazy” deserves to be number one. For people who complained the song sucked because it was overplayed. It’s not the artist fault that a song is overplayed. The notes and lyrics doesn’t change from the first time it’s played to the millionth time it’s played.

The only complaint with the list is too much crap pop (PCD, Fergie, Justin Timberlake…) and obscure indie songs. Also, no Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson?

1. Not Ready To Make Nice – Dixie Chicks
2. Crazy – Gnarls Barkley
3. You Don’t Know Me – Willie Nelson
4. God Is Gonna Cut You Down – Johnny Cash
5. Snakes On A Plane (Bring It) – Cobra Starship
6. Sucker – Peeping Tom featuring Norah Jones
7. King Without A Crown – Matisyahu
8. Who Knew – P!nk
9. Rise Up With Fists!! – Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins
10. Let’s Impeach The President – Neil Young

Best 15 of 2006

10 Years – Through The Iris
30 Seconds To Mars – The Kill
Black Stone Cherry – Lonely Train
Blue October – Hate Me
Celldweller – Tragedy
Depeche Mode – John The Revelator
Depeche Mode – Lillian
Depeche Mode – Suffer Well
Disturbed – Just Stop
Fort Minor – Where’d You Go
Mudvayne – Fall Into Sleep
Nonpoint – Alive and Kicking

9. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Way Out”
10. The Flaming Lips – “The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song”

Tihs list sucked. Needs Make Them Suffer by Cannibal corpse

No imogen heap….sad day. I thought we fans of hers had made a breakthrough when she was nominated for 2 grammys…but apparently some people still need an introduction.

This, yet again, reenforces why I refuse to even take a free subscription to Rolling Stone. Come on? “Chasing Cars”(by Snow Patrol) was a terrible song. You’ll regret putting that on your list in a few years once the pseudo-indie hype dies down.

Where is The Riddle by Five for Fighting? An overlooked song this year, but a such a great piece of songwriting. That is a travesty.

I really can’t get into this list at all. I mean, it’s either overplayed pop/R&B garbage (Pussycat Dolls? SERIOUSLY?) or things I’ve never heard of. And Crazy was an interesting song…until it was on the radio every moment of the day. It certainly does not deserve to be #1, I’m sorry.

That said, there are some things I like. The inclusion of the often-overlooked Regina Spektor was nice. But what about Keane? Under the Iron Sea was an amazing record. I guess they’re just not loved in America.

to describe what i feel: somewhat outraged. the list was what it was… but disappointingly, it was an extremely mediocre list at that. rock didnt get the share of the spotlight that it deserved. where’s Tool? and Keane? most of the songs on this list were overplayed radio hits. everyone liked them the first 50 times they heard them, and then all those songs turned into pure trash. unfortunately. as mentioned before, the list is what it is, there are some good recommendations but there are far too many that didn’t get a spot. definitely room for improvement.

Why is it that people want Rock to be popular again, but when there is a Rock song that is popular like “Lips of an Angel” or anything by Nickleback everyone complains. Rock was much more popular when it wasn’t taken so seriously; a lot of those groups like Tool are scary & depressing that’s why they aren’t popular

When so many amazing metal records have come out the only metal song on the list is one by Mastodon(who rock by the way).
Here is my top 10 list with some real music.
1. Vicariuos by Tool: an amazing and complex song with a real message

2.Redneck by Lamb of God: The future of metal is on display with these guys, who rock like Slayer and Pantera combined, especially on this incindeary track

3. Entrance of the Conflagration by Trivium: The next Metallica, plain and simple

4. Exit Strategy by Valient Thorr: An amazingly hard rocking band with serious political beliefs, this song is what it would sound like if Zach de la Rocha wrote lyrics for Motorhead

5. Jihad by Slayer: a brutal and provoctive song about terrorism that neither embraces nor condems it, Slayer once again proves why they are considered one of the most important bands in metal, if not all music

6. Come What(ever) May by StoneSour: A hard rocker with a serious (anti-Bush) message that is better than anything Corey Taylor has ever done with Slipknot

7. The Wolf is Lose by Mastodon: Another slab of brutally intricate metal from one of metals best new voices (and better than the other song from BLOOD MOUNTAIN on the list)

8. Original Fire by Audioslave: A great old school sounding rocker that combines the best talents of everyone in this supergroup

9. These Colours Don’t Run by Iron Maiden: Classic Maiden that can stand up to anything in their catalog. nuff said

10. Our Truth by Lacuna Coil: This song is type goth metal that Evanesence wishes they could write, with the prefect combination of Christina’s voice and the rest of the band

All of these songs kick the ass of the Sh*t one the list like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls.

What the Fuck? This list sucks?
Where the Hell is SPANK ROCK, JUSTICE, THE PRESETS??

What’s up with these stupid lists? Every cable channel, magazine, etc. spends all of this time ranking unimportant pop culture offerings from a generation that’s too young to remember what a good time Rock n Roll used to be. What does it matter? It’s all opinion. This is a sign that no one really has much interesting of anything to talk about or that our culture is so lame we feel the need to rank lame pop songs and compare them to artists who are no longer around but set a standard so high that a new artists only goal is to mimic anymore. Lame, Lame, Lame. Further proof that the culture that breeds MTV,Ipods and reality based crap has ruined music.

Furthermore, I expect more from Rolling Stone. However, I just saw your new cast for your MTV reality show, you might as well call it Rolling Stone presents the Real World. Or a better name would be “Two media outlets who were once important forces in popular culture have teamed up to bring you the same crap in a different wrapper”. The credibilty is gone, can’t exist off past glories anymore.

That’s a decent list, but I’m one of few people who actually isn’t crazy about “Crazy”. If you ask me, the number one song of 2006 is “Window in the Skies” by U2!

not a bad list, dimension by wolfmother at 9, very good choice, though i thought the rest of the album should have been more heavily represented in the top 50, likes of mind’s eye, and joker and thief.

gomez’s how we operate is a ridiculously good album. i cant believe i haven’t seen anything mentioned about it here.

augustana’s ‘boston’ is one of my favorites of the year, though it may be posied for Top 40 success in early ‘07.

muse should definitely be on that list, and didn’t NIN have a few hits this year?

ray lamontagne…???? three more days is ridiculously good…better than anything young joc ever did

Rolling Stone has serious issues; every time I think you guys have turned a corner and gotten some sense, you go and contradict yourselves with a list like this. “Crazy” as number 1? FIne, I can’t really complain. “Steady, as She Goes” is terrific, too. But you guys put “When You Were Young” relatively high after “keeping it real” with an appropriately negative review of the album and single. Then you go and say that it’s a better song than 9 of the tracks from “Modern Times.” It’s a ridiculous, overblown and unintentionally self-parodic song, whereas there are at least 5 masterpieces from Dylan’s album (to give but one example). You guys can’t trash an album or song and then turn around and say that it’s really quite enjoyable. Stop sacrificing artistic merit for good beats and idiot lyrics. Criticism is supposed to allow us to parse through all the crap that comes out of the rock and roll industry today, not just replicate what some middle school girl is saying about it.

This list fucking sucks.
Why oh why is not Muse’s Supermassive Black Hole on this list (that track is so fucking perfect)? At least Lily Allen is #7. (If you count Mew’s Special as a track released this year, it should be #1. Goldfrapp’s Ooh La La was released 2005 also.)

Man I’m pissed. All three Muse singles this year are sooooo good, enjoyable and beautiful and yeat none of them hit this list? Why won’t RS ever give respect to Muse?

I can’t help but notice all the good people missing from this list such as Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer to mention a few. It would’nt be insulting if you had’nt put so many mindless rap songs on this year.

STUNTIN LIKE MY DADDY

What? Not one song from “Living with War” on R.S. top 100 list. This is disgraceful. Where is Bob Seger? Where is Tool? All three works leave “Modern Times” eating dust. Soon, Steve Earle will show Dylan fans what the apocalypse really means.

Best song? Who could deny the Chili Peppers lyrics and musical expression, to be anything less, than one of the most vital and influential , ever to take command to rock n roll? Haven’t seen um, but I’m’s impressed as Phil and Five Long Years — You got ta know, what I’m talkin, a-bout!?!. Dylan’s got the song. But she swings hamma in bamma.

I agree, this list should be Best SINGLES of the year, not songs. “Crazy” should be number 1. “Chasing Cars” and “How to Save a Life” (even though it’s VERY similar to “Over My Head”) should be included, and where was Matis- yahu? “King Without a Crown” and “Youth” should be on there. “Steady, as She Goes” and “Level” should have been ranked higher!
And A LOT of the Pop and Rap should not be on there, they should be on the worst songs of 2006! Rolling Stone, please listen to more indie rock next year!
Oh, and an early suggestion for the best songs of 2007: the Shins’ “Phantom Limb”! If that song is not on next year’s list, I will cancel my subscription to RS and get SPIN magazine.

Corection on my last post:It’s Matisyahu not Matis- yahu

I would also like to add that not everyone in America listens to Top 40 “music”! I listen to Rock (alternative, indie, mainstream and Christian) and country.

Also, where was Relient K’s “Who I am Hates Who I’ve Been”?! That was the best song that crossed over from Christian music into the secular mainstream!

This is my last comment, I swear!

“Level” should be ranked higher.
I agree that “Crazy” should be number one and “Steady, as She Goes” should be number two!

Oh, Christina Aguilera is ahead of other POP sensations like Beyonce and J.T.! I love it! Ü

I like the Wreckers’ “Leave the Pieces.”

You people that listen to Dixie Chick need to leave, Mark. This list is just crazy. Audioslave’s new album is the worst ever. They should quit. No Neil Young? Muse? Pshh. Screw rolling stone.

Well, I don’t want to read all of these idiot’s comments but I was extremely content with the list.
2 Decemberists songs?!?
Amy Milan?!?
The Hold Steady?!?
nice
finally they are coming around
i didnt even expect one
i dont really remember the rest of the list, but I felt indie bands were well represented
however it was missing:
“In the Morning” -Junior Boys
“Postcards From Italy”-Beirut
oh yea and tom (look for second to bottom post) youre gay
did you honestly say Army of Anyone
and Tool doesnt have good songs anymore, or really good albums to speak of
and people need to shut up about muse
oh god i just scrolled up and someone put nickelback
ok im done

Even wikipedia’s got Rolling Stone figured out. And I quote:

‘In his book, “Rolling Stone Magazine”, Robert Draper notes that it was about the mid-1980s when the magazine became more of a music follower than a music trendsetter.

In the 1990s, it was late to cover the grunge scene that emerged in Seattle in 1991, most famously with Nirvana’s Nevermind being given a three-star review and chucked into obscurity in the middle of the reviews section. Later it would be rebuffed multiple times by Nirvana’s frontman, Kurt Cobain who famously wore a “corporate magazines still suck” t-shirt to a photoshoot for a cover story.

Rolling Stone was also slow to cover the emergence of hip hop, leading to the emergence of other competitor magazines such as The Source and Vibe.

In the early 2000s, facing declining revenue and competition from lad mags such as Maxim and FHM, Rolling Stone reinvented itself, hiring former FHM editor Ed Needham. The magazine started targeting younger readers and offering more sex-oriented content, which often focused on sexy young television or film actors as well as pop music. Long-time readers denounced the magazine, claiming it had declined from astute musical and countercultural observer to a sleek, superficial tabloid, emphasizing style over substance.”

just gotta say where the hell is dani california by Red hot chili peppers?

how bout some tool, totally agree with gnarls barkley and raconteurs…level should be higher (love that song), and again Dani california, where r ya. Snow ((Hey oh)) even. Tell me baby isnt as great as these 2.

Pussycat Dolls “Buttons”??!? Sad, sad, sad!!

This list kinda sucked.
i pretty upset that Ok Go gets nothing! i mean here it goes again was the most downloaded video of 2006 they should have gotten some props.
and no dani claifornia?

Vicarious & The Pot – by Tool

What a shitty year for music if this list is considered the year’s cream of the crop.

Thom Yorke’s “The Clock” should have made #1

WOW the worst song of 2006 is “Crazy”, i can honestly say i have never liked it. But i guess Rolling Stone is like radio, you get what you pay for, money talks and S**t walks. Bring back rock and roll

How the hell is “Crazy Bitch” not on here???? Buckcherry’s comeback is the best thing thing that happened in 2006.

Fucking Red Hot Chilli Peppers haven’t released a decent album since Claiforniacation 7 Years ago!! they’re for shit know just like Pearl Jam… but where is Keane A Bad Dream and Nothing in your way are fantastic… Chasing Cars deserves better other than that not bad

jonny711

lol i find it funny when one guy lists his/her top songs, its all of one genre…i dunno how the list was compiled, but i didn’t get a chance to listen to all songs of 2006 until recently
gnarls barkleys song is not#1 im sorry, and it wouldn’t be even close to it any other year. i think one song thats good that didn’t make it is nas-hip hop is dead, since its currently out so i forgot about all the songs of the past. no im not a rap/hip hop fan, but im coming from a rock/pop/r&b/foreign/country music lover background

we all now by now that rolling lame is what it is. at least 50 of these songs i never heard of b4 and i thought i was paying close attention. but honsetly, maybe i wasn’t. mtv and fm radio are officialyy doa. i don’t have satellite, that must be where the party is at, what else could explain how i missed all these songs? still, i’m dissappointed that evanessence song “call me when ur sober” did not make the list. Is she not pop culture snough?
I top my hat to all those waiting for music’s next big revolution, like myself. if we hold our breath much longer, we’re all going to suffocate. But hey, that might actually be better then listening to most of the songs on this list.

Noteable glaring omissions: The Fray’s How to Save A Life & KT Tunstall’s Black Horse & the Cherry Tree – ubiquitous this year and well crafted pop tunes.

The majority of these songs are chart toppers not actual good music. What has happened to music… no, the world, when Chamillionaire is number 3? Plus, MakeDamnSure should have been much higher. No wonder I’ve never read Rolling Stone before!

How is possible that Hips don`t lie didn’t make it to the list, it was the most played song in States and all over the world, who don’t love this song?

It’s impossible to make a list like this without upsetting just about everybody, but Rolling Stone should be commended for putting it together. I just wish they would give us some idea about what they base their choices on. Tool’s “10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)” has to be one of the most impressive pieces of music to come out this year, and one listen makes it obvious that serious time and effort were put into it’s creation. I can’t think of any other songs from this year that contain such a vast array of emotions. Can you say that about Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty”?

It also would have been nice to see some love for “Mama’s Room” by Under the Influence of Giants. Their disco-rock style was a breath of fresh air amidst the smog that was pop music this year.

How in the world di Nickleback’s Rockstar or Buck Cherry’s Crazy Bitch not make the grade?!

how did dani california not make it?

Let’s see if I understand this right. You have one of the best anti-administration songs in the last 6 years from one of the best progressive rock bands and it’s released in 2006 and you don’t pick it as a Top 100 song for 2006! Tool’s The Pot without question needs to be in the Top 100 list. WTF? “You musta been outta your mind!”

Please everyone, listen to All ‘Cause Of You by The 88. This song makes me smile. And what about The Kooks – Naive? Personally, I can’t take TV on Radio’s Wolf Like Me and don’t understand the appeal, but I like I Was a Lover. And don’t forget The Dears’ You And I Are A Gang Of Losers. And no Muse songs on the list?? Hell, I’ll just start my own list. Most of the songs on this one don’t make mine.

Anyone who needs proof of Rolling Stone’s complete loss of credibility:
Audioslave is completely absent from both their albums and songs list, while Fall Out Boy, the Killers, the Pussycat Dolls and the Dropkick Murphys are not. How can you knock any musician to ever exist and then say that Dance Dance is a better song than Revelations? And the worst part is that Dance Dance didn’t even come out in 2006. It was released as a single and on an album in 2005! Shows how much you guys know about what you’re writing about.

Well you left out:
Chelsea Daggers
Dog Problems
These things
Shoot The Runner
Insistor
Anna Molly
One Man Wrecking Mashine
Queen Of Apology

atleast there are some of my top 10 (11) in there:
Penny on a train track
O’Valencia
Hang Me Up to Dry

i do not agree.
what about:
shout out louds, feist, kings of convenience, the dresden dolls, martha/rufus wainwright, the kooks, bright eyes…??
no, justin should not be in there 3 times. 1 time is sufficient.
i’m disappointed.

I can’t believe it, Fergie and Pussycats Dolls were in the list !

What’s about great groups like The Kooks (with songs like Naive, Ooh La…) or Franz Ferdinand (Do You Want To and Eleanor Put Your Boots On) or even Mobile (Out of My Head was such a good song…)

You should put great indie-rock music instead of bad pop music , if you can still call it MUSIC !

But, you put The Killers and The Sounds… And they deserve their place.. Thank god, you doesnt forget about real good music !

Well.. I can agree or not in many issues.. but including craps such as Pussy Cat Dolls or Fergie.. instead of really beautiful songs like Mary J BLiges?.. its almost unbelivable. I understand your preference for fock music… but you dont have to include terrible pop songs only to equilibrate.

… sorry… I meant.. ROCK music.

1. Beirut – Postcards from Italy
2. Ima Robot – Happy Annie
3. Islands – Rough Gem
4. Beck – New Round
5. Cansei de Ser Sexy – Alala
6. Evangelicals – Another Day (And Yoor Still Knocked Out)
7. Sunset Rubdown – Shut Up I Am Dreaming Of Places Where Lovers Have Wings
8. Voxtrot – Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives
9. The Blow – Parentheses
10. be your own PET – Adventure

I love the song Because of you by Kelly Clarkson and think she deserves something for it.

Welcome to the Black Parade is by far the best single of the year!!!
And to Tauwan-how can you put A Jessica Simpson song, especially the God awful Public Affair, and any My Chemical Romance song on the same page??!!!

I’m very sad! Franz Ferdinand (Walk Away), The Fratellis (Chelsea Dagger), Kasabian (Empire) and Muse (Supermassive Black Hole)??? And also “Daydreamin” (Lupe Fiasco feat. Jill Scott)!

I am not quite into anything as much as country music. So I’ll put up the top ten country songs of the year.

10. Living in Fast Forward – Kenny Chesney
9. Settle For A Slowdown – Dierks Bentley
8. The World – Brad Paisley
7. Settlin’ – Sugarland
6. George Strait – Seashores of Old Mexico
5. You Save Me – Kenny Chesney
4. Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood
3. Would You Go With Me – Josh Turner
2. Believe – Brooks and Dunn
1. Jesus, Take the Wheel – Carrie Underwood

(Yes, I know Settlin’ hasn’t been released as a single yet, but I love thsat song)

come on peeps, let’s not have a repeat of the spice girls beating out U2 for the best song/artist of the year. It is the music that moves us from within, not the music that we know the lyrics to because we’ve heard it one too many times!!!

What the…Pussycat dolls? Who let that happen? Where’s Pepper, Deftones,and Tool? Hey, what about like just bands period. Cause honestly, I think “ADISIS” should be considered too. Their from Arkansas and BADASS! They play are like Tool-Forty six and 2 and some Deftones!(Sounds just like it!) Badass I think. they have a demo and you can find them on the internet.

This is prety sad, we need to get some better music than this as our top 10! We need to get some rock in there, or at least get ride of all of this rap. How does all of this music that i’ve never heard of get ahead of actually good music, all of this pop junk, #84, Panic! is just 2 positions about Brittney Spears, now that’s sad, we need to get some good music actually in the top 10!

Where is TOOL?
Right In Two is one of the best songs of 2006, along with the rest of the album!
Weak list.

This is a disgrace. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool put out the 2 best albums of the year and yet only RHCP had one song on the list and tool had none. What is the matter with people these days? Like seriously, why was Ridin’ number three? That song is terrible and shouldn’t even be on the list nevermind number 3.

to apont ( the person right below me )…. you took the words right out of my mouth… i agree with everything you said

especially that tool and rhcp had the two best albums…. thank you for having a good taste in music

Where was ‘I Write Sins Not Tradgedies’ on your list? That song was nominated for five VMA’S and it still is not on your list. Panic!’s ‘…Press Coverage…’ was on here, but they definitely should have been on more than once. I agree with the ‘Miss Murder’ and ‘Dance, Dance’ songs though. Not too badly done

So Tool has one of the best albums of the year, but doesn’t have one of the 100 best songs of the year? That makes perfect sense to me.

Seriously, a musical masterpiece with 10,000 Days (Wings part 2) and then the two singles of Vicarious and The Pot. For not one of them to make the list is a disgrace to music. I’m sure Lady Sovereign really deserved her spot.

Anyone else notice that John Mayer was number 11 on the albums of the year, but yet no single. “Waiting on the world to change” was easilly one of the best singles this year, and Continuum one of the best albums- come on, how did “London Bridge” beat that out?

To all Tool fans, this list filled with bubblegum and fluff means nothing. Just think about the fact that in thirty years 90% of the artists on this list will be remembered by no one. Ill be 70 and still listening to Tool,Pink Floyd,Bob Marley,The Beatles,Led Zepplin,The Clash,and a few others. A song by Tool not getting on this list doesnt change the fact that their music will stand the test of time. Not many on this list can say the same.

Damnit this list makes me sick!! How could anyone possibly enjoy listening to some DUMBASS RAPPER destroying the english language and getting paid millions for it? Rap is the most uninspired, idiotic shit ever and requires absolutely no talent. I hate every rapper that has ever lived and every one who will. Wake up, stop giving these idiots your money!! Real musicians who study music like I have for 9 years know that 85% of the music on this list is complete BULLSHIT!! Gnarls Barkley sucks, ALL RAP IS SHIT, Metal will always reign supreme, Rolling Stone, you suck.

Read My Mind by the killers and Charles Barkley sux.

weird al’s white and nerdy should be song of the year, just listen to it, and you will bust up laughing, his video should be video of the year, cause you have to laugh at it

well some songs in there i like but what i was hoping for in there was the diary of jane by breaking benjamin

In no particular order…

The Decemberists – Culling of the Fold
Tokyo Police Club – Nature of the Experiment
Malajube – Montreal -40°
Neko Case – Maybe Sparrow
Islands – Where there’s a will, there’s a whalebone
Muse – Knights of Cydonia
Lady Sovereign – Love Me or Hate Me
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Cheated Hearts
Tom Petty – Saving Grace
Weird Al Yankovic – White and Nerdy
CSS – Art Bitch
Regina Spektor – On The Radio
Tapes ‘n Tapes – Cowbell
Thom Yorke – The Clock
The Flaming Lips – The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
Placebo – Meds
Goldfrapp – Oh Laa Laa
The Dears – White Only Party
Xiu Xiu – Boy Soprano
Sam Roberts – Bridge to Nowhere
Feist – Mushaboom (Postal Service remix)
Emily Haines and the Soft Skeletons – The Lottery
TV on the Radio – Wolf Like Me
Mogwai – Travel is Dangerous
Tilly and the Wall – Bad Education

I thought that the list overall was not good but it did get a few things right.
Especially Dimension and World Wide Suicide and I did like Crazy.
It had some serious misses though: like not having enough Wolfmother(Joker and the Theif and Woman) Trapped in the drive thru instead of White and Nerdy, No Life Wasted and NO STONE SOUR,No Franz Ferdinand and No Crazy Bitch.

Damn that list its stupid.
Where the fuck is Muse??????
They are one of the best bands in europe!
They lead reading, glastonbury, and the leeds and you dont care!…ugh.

I still believe that Panic! should have been on here more than once? Have you heard more than one song by them? What other rock band do you know that uses accordions and organs in their choruses? And what about Envy on the Coast’s ‘Temper Temper’. We really need to get out of this horrible rap phase and start listening to some music that has depth, not just talking about some girl’s butt. I also believe Thirty Seconds to Mars should have been on this list as well. They are amazing and have actual talent, unlike many, many of the artists out there now. And what about Incubus? Or The Horrors? And only ONE Fall Out Boy song? Seriously, don’t we want our artists of the year to be people who have gone through obstacles in their lives, which inspires them to WRITE their own music and play various instruments instead of guys in bling walking around the “streets” talking about girls and how they look? “Crazy” is an okay song, just extremely overplayed, and I don’t think it should have been as high on your list as it was. It’s time to get back to rock n roll, guys!

what the hell is up wid dis music?!?! has ne-one heard of any of these ppl. how did lady Sovereign git on here -n- red hot chilli peppers didnt! whats wrong with the world? dont ppl belive in good music neMore!! its sad! and apoling!!!! get sum rock!!

Where is Muse???? They had some of the best songs of the year!

The best pop song of the year was “Sunday Morning” by K-Os.

Losers.

jonny13

I am really trying to understand why “Ridin” is on this list. Is there a more profound meaning to “doin a hundred while I puff a blunt”? At first I gave the song way too much credit and thought it was about racial profiling. However, I think I gave Chamillionaire way too much credit. For that matter so did Rolling Stones Magazine

jonny10

This is just horrible. Don’t even bother making a list for 2007.

If “Crazy Bitch” gets put on the list, why don’t we include “Achey Breaky Heart” and more Kid Rock while we’re at it? Are you guys serious?

WTF!!!!!!!! No songs for Gorillaz or Tool one song for Fall Out Boy and Panic!at the disco I didnt see any from Green Day either this is shit

Jet, john mayer, sonic youth with the number three album, muse, tom waits, pearl jam, johnny cash, yhom york, john legend, Bruce Springsteen, tool, sean lennon, the WHO!!!, phonix not on this list but killers in the top twenty and fergie, fall out boy and panic! at the disco on this list is an insult to music and it’s listeners.

most of the songs in list i havent heard,though,its not hard to comprehend that insanity of RS now seems to have taken a new whole dimension,this list,what u say,it sucks!where r the red hot chili peppers songs,i thought “stadium arcadium” was one of the best albums of 2006,and they have got a single “tell me baby” at 23 or 24,dont care,i think these people should be send to sanotorium and then perhaps they would to come up with a list that would make some sense.

No best compilation of 2006 is valid without a Muse entry. This one is all wrong.

ecahrtgb qunkp zjgkolwi frjwskuyi covsm uxpg lspk

This list sucks! I can not believe they picked those songs to be in the top 100!
It just makes me want to barf!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This list is amazingly, embarrassingly awful. I understand the need for a little variety but the fact that these albums were completely ignored:

Black Holes and Revelations
Inhuman Rampage
Termination Bliss

as well as Dani California, Snow (Hey Oh), Sam’s Town, I could go on…

…in favor of Fergie Ferg and Lady What’s-her-name, completely removes any credibility this list could have had.

NONSENSE list

K34Hd5 hi! hooli?

Nr4Rld
