Rainbow Styling: The Greatest Pop Music in the History of 2006
No need to dither. Here are my lists. They shouldn't be considered complete in any sense. This isn't a survey, so notable stuff I'm not all that hot on (ex. Maneater) hasn't been included. All you'll find here is what I was feeling at the time.
As usual, feel to post your own list or remind me of what I'm an idiot for overlooking.
