It's time to draw a line under the year that was 2006. I asked readers of this blog to nominate the track they considered to be the best free legal download they had come across in 2006. To be honest the response was not exactly overwhelming and sadly some of the tracks were no longer available. However 25 tracks have been selected and compiled for your listening pleasure.
The track list:
The Radio Dept. - The Worse Taste In Music
Bubblegum Lemonade - Tyler
Tesco Chainstore Mascara - Just The Weight You Are
Voxtrot - The Start Of Something
Celestial - nothing happens; twice
TTA - Don't Close Your Eyes
The Snow Fairies - The Love Affairs of a Southern Belle
the oKtober people - Blue Collar Butterfly
The Lovekevins - Private Life Of A Cat
The Legends - Lucky Star
Math and Physics Club - Darling, Please Come Home
Loveninjas - Keep Your Love
The School - Valentine
The Motifs - Diagonal
Strawberry Whiplash - Falling Through
Salty Pirates - Shark Attack
Pocketbooks - The First World Record
Monkey Swallows The Universe - Jimmy Down The Well
Irene - Stardust
Everyday Sensations - Things We Never Had

Thanks to all those who contributed. All tracks were made freely available by the artists at the time the compilation was put together.

I think you announced it too early and then with everyone using RSS feeds these days, people forget about it after a day. At least I did.
Nice compilation though.
Nice list. The radio dept. was the best band for me last 2006.
Greetings.
