| 2006: Doof's Top 10 Songs
I guess these lists are pretty idiosyncratic selections at the best of times but I'm getting the feeling this 2006 one might be the most so far (or if not 2001?) - I really really like this set of picks though. Half of these are new discoveries in the last five or so years maybe explains my excitement over this list? | 1 | | Lambchop Damaged

03.26.21 | this is wild, so many albums that feel like completely seperate eras, i guess 06 was a middling year between what feels like kinda distinct eras
also seeing band of horses is interesting, do you like carissa's wierd?
| theBoneyKing
03.26.21 | Interesting, I know surprisingly few here (just 1, 6, 7). Title track or "Looter's Follies" would be my Destroyer pick.
Agree about 06 being a kind of transitional year, kind of a weak one too methinks (from what I know). | DoofDoof
03.26.21 | My original list Joanna Newsom's 'Only Skin' was 8th but re-listening and the middle section of that song is so good, incredible | DoofDoof
03.26.21 | Boney you definitely have to listen to 2 but watch out for the section in the middle, for a fan of folk it's essential listening | fogza
03.26.21 | Only Skin is monumental | theBoneyKing
03.26.21 | Yeah I've put off getting into more Newsom for a long time, Divers is still all I know. Always been a bit intimidated knowing how dense her stuff is, I mean Ys is what, 4 long songs or something, and the 2010 one is like 2 hours long? | DoofDoof
03.26.21 | Phero - Carissa's Weird I quite enjoy, only really listened to 'Songs About Leaving'.
Band of Horses I chopped from the top 10 last minute, they seem a bit locked in the 00's for me but that album and the follow up are still decent | fogza
03.26.21 | Boney, I don't really go in for long songs often, but Ys flies by, it's just amazing. Have one on me is a triple disc, so you can always break it up. | DoofDoof
03.26.21 | 3 is also a trip if you watch the video - in fact watching the videos for the whole album in order is great too | DoofDoof
03.26.21 | the section of 'Only Skin' from 5:30 to 8:30 is probably my favourite female vocal performance ever, slays anything by Bjork or Kate Bush for me, that's the pinnacle
plus you get Bill Callahan pop up later on, slightly incongruous but he's Bill, still love it | CaliggyJack
04.01.21 | Where the absolute fuck is What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts? | DoofDoof
04.01.21 | actually never heard of this one - damn it sounds terrible, incredible pick | CaliggyJack
04.01.21 | It's actually better than Life is a Highway believe it or not |
