:lol: I used to love that David Hasselhoff song, back when Jamelia was doing alright as well before BOTD criminally flopped.

 

Weird how Sugababes Easy wasn't on there :unsure:

Interesting one to choose, 2006 isn't really a musical year I'll ever look fondly back at! But it's probably just because I don't have that many memories attached...this album came out just after I turned 18 and it reminds me of sitting at home and being bored :P Happily things got better from 2007!

 

Even so there's a few good songs on here, these are my faves:

 

Scissor Sisters : "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" (first song I ever downloaded from iTunes and #1 on my 18th birthday!)

The Fratellis : "Chelsea Dagger" (big up too to the underrated followup that is 'Whistle for the Choir')

Amy Winehouse : "Rehab" (what can be said that already hasn't? Great artist, great track)

Fedde Le Grand : "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" (remember hearing this on Dave Pearce's Radio 1 show that summer and thinking it's way too uncommercial to be a hit - how wrong I was!)

Razorlight : "America" (absolute indie classic)

Bodyrox featuring Luciana : "Yeah Yeah" (see Fedde Le Grand description! The brief electro-boom of 2006-7 was fun, Mason's 'Exceeder' was the best though)

David Guetta vs The Egg : "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)" (before he ended up dominating the entire top 40...I remember thinking it was cool he finally got a big hit, if only I'd have known what was to come!)

Cascada : "Everytime We Touch" (at the time this was one of my favourite songs ever :blush: I saw them live in March 2008!!)

El Chombo : "Chacarron" (LOL at this being on here :lol: First song to get popular through youtube? Ridiculous but hilarious)

 

..and I know there's a lot of love for track 2 of disc 2, but for me it's one of the most overrated songs of all time :puke2:

I agree with you by virtue of it having my favourite song ever on it, and I'm glad you agree in terms of it being your favourite. :D

 

Scissor Sisters, All Saints, Cascada and Shakira are of course also all WONDERFUL, but beyond that I think it looks quite mediocre. :(

WHERE is Last Year by Lucie Silvas?

 

;)

This has got 'Something Kinda Ooooh' on it so of course it's one of the best! I was in my first year of sixth form at the time this album was released and someone had a copy that we used to blast it in the common room at lunchtimes...
