Ok, we’re jumping on the bandwagon here by creating yet another “Best Music of 2006…” list, but we’re gonna do a few things different. First, there will not be a top album or artist or any rank for that matter because we all know how pissed we get when our fav’s are ranked at the bottom of the totem pole while some schlock band we think is terrible takes top honors…better to just recognize, ya know G? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read Rolling Stone’s Best of…and thought “man..these people don’t know their heads from their arses”… do they just grab the Billboard music sales sheet and list the artists in descending order or what? Not the best way to rate music in my opinion. But then again, what the hell do I know? What makes Mahsheet and his contributing authors authorities on music? Nothing really, except our egos =]

Anyway, ON WITH THE SHOW! Remember…IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER!
