Top 20 Songs of 2006 (so far that I know and like)

As a little segway before we do the countdown list of the albums of this past year which will begin on Monday- Dec. 11th.

Also, be sure to check out Passion Weiss for his take on the best debut albums of the past year.

I thought I throw in my fave top songs of this past year. As it appears that everyone's throwing in their list of various sorts. Like any of the other lists I compile-- it has its flaws, but for now, this is a sampling of what I've enjoyed the past year.
