2006 music poll (is it too early?)

The Best... of 2006?
1. Album
Midlake's The Trials Of Van Occupanther/ Liddy B's Under The Skin/Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings The Flood

2. Single
There hasn't been an out and out pop song like What You Waiting For, Whenever Wherever or Hey Ya! that I've loved this year but Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above by CSS comes close. But Rise Up With Fists!!! by Jenny Lewis is the most played song on my iTunes, so I guess I'll go with that.

3. Concert:
Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions band, at Hammersmith Apollo!

4. The most overrated song/album/group of 2006?
Arctic Monkeys and the Scissor Sisters

5. The disappointment of 2006?
Maybe the new albums from The Lemonheads and The Raconteurs or the two electric shows I saw with a rather bratty Ryan Adams (the acoustic one was excellent). But the biggest disappointment is definitely not getting to see Lindsey live.

6. The best comeback of 2006?
Tom Waits. Orphans is pretty damn awesome.

7. The best new band/artist of 2006?
Midlake and Band Of Horses

8. The best musical moment of 2006?
Seeing My Chemical Romance bottled at the Reading Festival

9. Your predictions in music for 2007?
Everyone keeps telling me about this band Bats For Lashes, so I guess them

10. And honorable mention to...
My boys The Flaming Lips. I love 'em!
