Meh, 100 was roughly the cut off between Good/Great/Awesemo songs and not so much songs, which makes this year kind of weak, but there are some great songs coming up, stay tuned kids

I'm stoked as **** for this one!

S41, Matchbook Romance, Nat B, Kelly Clarkson, Oasis, The Killers, The Strokes, MCR SO LOW!, The Bravery, and Fall Out Boy.

What a start.

Man, The Ghost Of You is MUCH lower than I thought it would be.

Nice to see Unconditional and Mudvayne, and 109-107 rules. I know the actual Top 100 will be better, though, and I can't wait.

1 of 1 The Fray songs on the Top 100
---I had no clue where to put this 'cause it literally debuted one day before my cutoff for this year. This may be a little low, cause this is a pretty great song. Really catchy and lyrical.

Oh my, someone likes Galvanize other than me! ^_^

I disagree about AAR becoming worse than they were on their first album, but agree to disagree, I guess.

Good stuff. But damn MCS, ruining the moment.

Great showings for Kelly Clarkson, Tegan & Sara, MCS, Snow Patrol, Garbagio, Green Day, Coldplay, and Sheryl.

Quite a wide scope of diversity there. Nice!

I may just crank out:
Songs that could be featured but missed the timelyness cut off (either by being too far back in 2004 or practically in 2006)
The "essential" albums of 2005 (since i don't even have 10 albums that actually came out in 2005, but yu'll understand why better once i'm in the top 10)
Albums to look for in 2006
But alas, doing all this **** into the wee hours of 2006 would just be lame so all those things may be cut if need be.
And again, i may get around to making this look nice

I wonder if anything will beat Letter Kills for #1. GO SURPRISES!
