Matt's Top 106 of 2006 (TOP 30 AUDIO COUNTDOWN UP)

[mtm4319]

And so the annual month (or 4) of increased board activity begins with the first guessing game off the block. It will be lyrics-only this year, mostly because I'm lazy.

I'm technically only considering this a top 100, with an extra 6 songs hand-picked as honorable mentions. And having been unable to find a point system good enough to rank all songs to the accuracy I desire, I went ahead and hand-ranked the upper third or so of the top 100. The rest is entirely ranked by a point system.

The first round of clues is below.

106. Another one of those times Disturbed "Guarded" (crash46)

105. It's just a matter of time

104. f***, you're expensive Alien Ant Farm "Forgive and Forget" (a Nick O!)

103. All the mistakes I've made Staind "Right Here" (Mega248)

102. Get the video Buckcherry "Crazy Bitch" (picpak and Mega248)

101. Never seemed so long Anberlin "Paperthin Hymn" (Mega248)

[Mega248]

103. Staind- "Right Here"

Correct.

[a Nick O!]

I don't know any of them.

[mtm4319]

I'll go ahead and throw out some extensions for you guys to gnaw on while I'm gone. I'll be in New Orleans to watch the Saints' (meaningless for both teams now) game against the Panthers, and in Biloxi to ring in the new year. Hopefully we'll be ready to move on with the top 100 on Monday.

106. Another one of those times that I'm left in the cold

105. It's just a matter of time before he finds another

104. f***, you're expensive!/What the hell am I supposed to do?

102. Get the video/f*** you

101. These roads never seemed so long

[Pipa]

105 seems so familiar.

I was gonna say #102 was Buckcherry - Crazy Bitch, but I guess not after that clue.

[mtm4319]

No need to bump this, I suppose...

[Mega248]

101 and 105 definitely look familiar. No clue on the other three.

Edit: damn, how did it take me so long to recognize "Paperthin Hymn" (#101)?

[halo19]

I know none of 'em.

Correct, and you take a 2-0 lead.

[mtm4319]

106. Another one of those times that I'm left in the cold/Dead

105. It's just a matter of time before he finds another more fine

104. f***, you're expensive!/What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't [title of song] you/I can't [title of song] you

Wait a minute... isn't this correct?

...Yes it is. :-\ I wasn't sure whether he meant it as an actual guess, but I'll give him half the point anyway. And you get the other half, of course.

[a Nick O!]

I don't recognize that part of "Crazy Bitch."

I only needed the blue extension to recognize #104 as Alien Ant Farm's "Forgive and Forget." (I didn't realize there was any swearing in that song.

[crash46]

106 is "Guarded" by Disturbed. I don't recognize any others.

I thought it was "Get the video; it's so good", but I've only heard the radio edit.

Correct...

...and correct.

[mtm4319]

105. It's just a matter of time before he finds another more fine/After he's done dulling your shine

Giveaway time:

He participated in the American Idol television program.

[a Nick O!]

Would this happen to be "It's Not Over" by Daughtry?

[mtm4319]

Nah, that's too new for making this chart. The artist of #105 was on American Idol, but was never eliminated.

[mtm4319]

Still taking guesses for #105, but here's the next batch. 3 of these are album tracks.

105. It's just a matter of time before he finds another more fine/After he's done dulling your shine [This artist was on American Idol and was not eliminated.] Mario Vazquez "Gallery" (Mega248)
100. The guilty with the innocent Tool "The Pot" (crash46)
99. One of two things The Fray "How to Save a Life" (radical347)
98. Crawling side by side
97. Don't think you're safe Lostprophets "Everyday Combat" (crash46)
96. Grudges will die so slowly
95. But I will not hide
94. Slipping through my hands
93. Until this empty place is filled, I’ll keep pretending [This might be a tough one, so I'll give more. It's an album track by the band that sang "Suspension".]
92. Their eyes are watching
91. Left without a trace Angels & Airwaves "The Adventure" (crash46)

[crash46]

100. Tool - The Pot
97. Lostprophets - The New Transmission
91. Angels And Airwaves - The Adventure

[mtm4319]

100 and 91 are correct.

[crash46]

Ok, we'll try "Everyday Combat" at #97 then. That's better.

[mtm4319]

There ya go.

[Mega248]

105. Mario Vasquez- "Gallery"

And that's all I've got for now.

[radical347]

99. The Fray - How to Save a Life

[halo19]

Okay, I feel like I should know a lot of the remaining ones, but I just can't think of the proper songs for each.

I would've needed an extension for Tool, but knew the Fray.

Both of those are correct.
