The readers's poll on plattentests.de is over. "Good evening, Germany. And here are the results of the German (readers) jury." "Sorry, could you repeat that?" "Yes, here are the results of the German (editorial staff) jury." "Thank you, Germany!"

Here's what I voted:

Records of 2006:

1. The Raconteurs - Broken boy soldiers
2. The Horror The Horror - The Horror The Horror
3. Panic! At The Disco - A fever you can't sweat out
4. Placebo - Meds
5. ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - So divided
6. Tool - 10.000 days
7. Tomte - Buchstaben über der Stadt
8. Wedding Present - Search for paradise
9. The Organ - Grab that gun
10. United - Slick

Songs of 2006:

1. The Horror The Horror - Blame the sun
2. Panic! At The Disco - London beckoned songs about money written by machines
3. The Raconteurs - Level
4. Tomte - Ich sang die ganze Zeit von Dir
5. Love Is All - Busy doing nothing
6. Placebo - Post blue
7. Trail of Dead - Wasted state of mind
8. The Organ - Brother
9. Thursday - The other side of the crash
10. Wedding Present - Interstate 5

All in all, I think, 2006 was really the worst of the last five years. Actually, my favourite record of 2006 is much older: "The shape of punk to come", by "Refused". I also bought several really older albums (70s rock and some jazz records), which perhaps somewhat explains my point of view. I've become somewhat bored of that Indiepopdisco stuff (like, e.g. the Arctic Monkeys etc.).
