Top 15 Radio Singles of 2006

Okay, so my last two entertainment-related posts were models of ridiculous long-windedness. Indeed, I fear that if brevity truly is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I may be the least witty and most outwardly flourishing human being ever. Er, anyway, this time around I have decided to forgo unnecessary commentary in favor of a simple list. The following are my personal choices for the top 15 radio singles of the year. Feel free to tell me I'm a moron for my inclusions or omissions:

• A.F.I., Love Like Winter
  
• Army of Anyone, Goodbye
  
• Breaking Benjamin, The Diary of Jane
  
• Disturbed, Land of Confusion
  
• Flyleaf, Fully Alive
  
• Godsmack, Shine Down
  
• Incubus, Anna Molly
  
• The Killers, When You Were Young
  
• Pearl Jam, Worldwide Suicide
  
• Plain White T's, Hate (I Really Don't Like You)
  
• The Raconteurs, Steady, As She Goes
  
• Rock Kills Kid, Paralyzed
  
• Shinedown, I Dare You
  
• Shiny Toy Guns, Le Disco
  
• Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars
  

(Singles were chosen based on a combination of meaningfulness, sheer fun, and tendency to get stuck in my head. Note that being more recent, and thus not having suffered from overplay, was a definite plus.)

Song lyric of the day:
"It's like I'm perched on the handle bars
Of a blind man's bike
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
On the rolling mind"
- the Shins, Split Needles
