Best of 2006

The year is coming to a close, which means... list time!

I've procrastinated Christmas shopping by getting a jump on the obligatory top tens. Barring anything truly brilliant comes out in the next two weeks, below is the music which moved me most over the past twelve months. As always, all Burnlab editors are encouraged to share their own lists right here.
Happy holidays.
