This is the decidedly unscientific listing of engaging, magnificent, or otherwise important recordings that crossed the RTQE aural transom at varying velocities and amplitudes during 2006. It is inherently personal, unfair, and exclusive.

I've provided links to nearly all of the recordings pictured here. I always suggest supporting local businesses first (In Madison, WI, that means B-side records and the Mad City Music Exchange), but it may be difficult to find some of these.
