comments: the knife album is my easy choice for #1 this year, but the rest are unsorted and perhaps unsortable. the only one on here that probably won't make a lot of other lists is the streets album, but i think skinner's run of 3 albums is more consistently good than any other run i can think of in the last 10 years.

songs:

• T.I. - what you know
  
• beyonce - ring the alarm
  
• señor coconut - behind the mask (al usher remix) (rmd slo-down version)
  
• rex the dog - italian skyline (unreleased)
  
• lindstrøm & prins thomas - mighty girl
  
• lindstrøm - another station (todd terje remix)
  
• lcd soundsystem - 45:33
  
• the rapture - don gon do it
  
• lupe fiasco (ft jill scott) - daydreamin'
  
• fat joe (ft lil wayne) - make it rain
  
• the knife - we share our mother's health (trentemøller remix)
  
• junior boys - in the morning
  
• jürgen paape - take that
  
• delia gonzalez & gavin russom - relevee (carl craig remix)
  
• the coup (ft black thought & talib kweli) - my favorite mutiny
  
• clipse (ft slim thug) - wamp wamp
  
• ghostface (ft trife) - be easy
  
• trentemøller - take me into your skin
  

comments: 'what you know' is the easy #1 favorite for the year. i'm surprised slim thug only shows up on the list once... i would give him the award for most appealing list of credits in the period spanning 2005-2006.

UPDATE: added ghostface's be easy/fishscale to songs/albums since this has been on repeat in my car nearly nonstop for the last week. also added a trentemøller track that should have been in the list.
