MOG's Favourites of 2006: The Results

Posted over 2 years ago
The nominations are in and I am now in a position to announce MOG's favourite albums of 2006.The records included range from the most mainstream which everyone will have heard of(coughKatecough) to the most obscure of releases. Yet you can rest assured that all in the list are brilliant (well, maybe with one exception).Thanks to everyone who got involved, and especially to "Dale":http://mog.com/dale for running the IT side of things. So enjoy, but dont come crying to me when you've emptied your bank account...

  26. aedjp says Squarepusher is on the list, so there's hope for us. (Didn't David Hasselhoff release anything this year? Darn.)

  27. sentinel329 says Anna: it's just that "shiny" is a term they use on the program to mean "cool" or "great". If it has already made it's way into the mainstream as a new slang term, I guess that means I need to get out more.
