I’m up to 14,700 songs, and it’s been about a month since my last effort, so it feels like as good a time as any for another edition of Shuffled. Plug in my headphones to the ol’ iPod and press play.

I came across some amazing songs this year, so I’ve taken the time to list a full 100 of them. This is no Pitchfork list either—I’ve got pop songs, country songs, rap songs and yes, indie rock songs too. All irony- and snobbery-free. The first of many year-end best-of lists, here then are my top songs from the year that was: 2007.

This list can’t be held to just 13. With all the great songs of 2006, I can’t really pare down. There were great singles from pop stars and alternative rockers alike; fantastic album tracks from folk-rockers, countrified ladies and dance producers.

2006 was a really strong year for music, although as far as I’m concerned there weren’t any truly great records released. None of these albums will break my top 30 or maybe even top 50 all-time, but they’re still solid through and through.
I can’t listen to everything that was released in 2006, so at the bottom you’ll find the complete list of eligible albums. We start though, with the ten runners-up, listed from 14 to 23: Duper Sessions — Sondre Lerche & the Faces Down, Rabbit Fur Coat — Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, How We Operate — Gomez, At War With the Mystics — The Flaming Lips, The Garden — Zero 7, Everything All the Time — Band of Horses, We the Vehicles — Maritime, Time Without Consequence — Alexi Murdoch, Half the Time — Pablo, Putting the Days to Bed — The Long Winters

If you thought my Top Albums list was eclectic, just check out this wildly diverse two-cd set of my 31 (13 inverted, of course) favorite singles, b-sides and album cuts of the great year for music that was 2005. I had only one rule for this playlist: no repeat artists (this made it quite hard to pick my favorite song from Sufjan’s Illinois, which featured 5 of my favorite tracks of the year). More on that later. For now, the list, in order of appearance:
