Top of 2006. The top is so-so, because the music this year is not mind-blowing.
Wrote a lot of comments, but everything got lost. So I'll reconstruct it super briefly.
The rating is ease of listening, not a rating of the music.
Download slowly, please, so the server doesn't die.
And it's so poppy because life isn't easy, so you crave simpler music. When life was simpler, I wanted more complex music.
1)The Knife - Silent Shout
Good vocals, well-thought-out music: moderately poppy and not overly complicated.

Cheerful, yet not boring rock lost its murky pathos, which clearly did it good.

8)Karsten Pflum - Idhax
The descendants of clicks'n'cuts click and crunch. Why this is good, I don't know. The variety of tracks is appealing, probably.
