100 Great Songs from 2006

These are 100 songs that I really dug this past year which were played on the internet radio stations I listen to. I'm aware that some of the cds they're from were released in other years, but they were played this year, so... hey, if you want to look up the album release dates at amazon, knock yourself out

I find it difficult to arrange things from best to worse, so this is just 100 in no particular order.
