The Best and Worst of 2006

Alright! We're finally past the negative things in my life, and now on to the fun stuff! I have made up my own list of what I thought was the Best and Worst things of 2006, which is from music to news. Don't worry, no one's geting tagged here. Agree or disagree, these are just my opinions, So here we go!

Best Bands/New Albums:
  • The Who-Endless Wire: nuff said!
  • Audioslave-Revelations: They keep getting better and better!
  • Korn-See You on the Otherside: They are way past nu-metal and are here to stay!
  • Tool-10,000 Days: Seven minute songs and 3-D album art, they are unlike any other band!
Worst Bands/Musicians/Albums:
  • Akon-Konvicted: He may have a good singing voice, but I can't stand it! and he reminds me of certain people I don't like, and he spelled convicted wrong!
  • Beyonce': I apologize to anyone here who likes her, but I think she is so overrated! Plus, she's no Tina Turner!
  • Hinder: I hate their song "Lips of an Angel" and they are so full of EGO!
Best Movies:
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Johnny Depp!
  • United 93: Reminded me of how I felt on 9/11, and at the same time felt good to see how a group of strangers came together to fight back.
  • Snakes on a Plane: How awkward of me to list two plane movies together, luckily this one was only fiction. I list this movie because it's not a remake.
  • The DaVinci Code: The Book was really good and controversial, and so was this movie.
  • The Pursuit of Happyness: I just saw this on Christmas Day, very good movie! It's all about not giving up on following your dreams.
Worst movies:
  • Nacho Libre: At first it looked liked it would be very funny, but it was a huge disappointment! Not one of Jack Black's best movies.
  • Anything with Colin Farrell in it. I can't stand him! Also; any new movies with Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson in it. Tom Cruise is wacko and Mel Gibson has lost my respect.
Best TV Shows:
  • Metalocalypse: Yeah! Metal finally has a cartoon of it's own! James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and King Diamond have lent their voices, I think it would be awesome if Roger Daltrey lent his voice too!
  • House: Hugh Laurie's acting is so good, that at first I didn't know he was British! there's only a few parts I could'nt watch, but it's a great show!
  • Dr. Who: I've only caught a few episodes, but so far I like what I've seen. I like the actor who plays the doctor in season two better than the one from season one.
  • The Dog Whisperer: This is on the National Geographic Channel. A guy named Cesar Chavez retrains the owners on how to handle their dogs and rehabilitates dogs. I try to pick up on his tips to try and train my dog Sophie.
  • Any nighttime shows on the Food Network.
Worst TV Shows:
  • Flavor of Love 2: Flavor Flav was in the Rap group Public Enemy in the 80's, which was his highest peak in fame. If he really wants to find love, he shouldn't look for it on reality TV! I just hope there isn't going to be a Flavor of love 3!
  • My Super Sweet Sixteen: Nothing but a bunch of spoiled rich daddy's girls! It's outragious how much is spent on these parties!
  • All the shows on MTV that have nothing to do with music. Who cares about how teens in Orange County live!
Best Vacation:
  • Morro Bay: it was a four hour drive from where I live, but the drive along the 1 highway was so nice! all that ocean scenery! Also, there was so much to do there, that you can't do it all in one trip.
Worst Vacation:
  • Lake Havasu: the drive was five hours from where I live, but the drive was very boring! all that desert scenery! ugh! Also, there wasn't very much to do there, and it was more for old people.
Best Live Performance:
  • The Attic Jam at the Hotel Cafe' which is the only show I've seen this year, so this one wins hands down!
That completes my list for this year. I wish I had done this last year, but at least I started one. I can't wait to see what will be on next years list!

Got to agree with you about DrWho, the second actor in this new lot is my fave too. Endless Wire was also one of my highlights; wonderful!!
I've rounded up the year in music over at my blog too.
Happy New Year!

Have a great new year.

Always interesting to see everyone's best of at year's end. I at best, can't remember more than a few weeks ago so compiling a list is somewhat difficult unless something jars my memory. Where was I? Oh yeah, Happy New Years MC!!

Hey Metalchick,

Loved the Pirate movies and also love Hugh Laurie.

Here's to a great 2007! I have lots of 2007 resolutions and will be rather busy trying to fulfill them all. :-)

One of the best things about the change in years is looking back on the past. Like Ranceman, time flows together for me so it's hard to remember what happened in 2006 vs. 2005, but I love the different news shows where they show clips from the year before.

Have a great weekend!

Yeah! Endless Wire! Best of '06

Also, glad to see that you went to "Pursuit of Happiness", I loved that movie.

Want to see something intense? Go and see Babel, although it may not be in major cinemas now, we saw it at a $2 seat place last night and it was awesome! oh.. the struggle to communicate with each other..

Happy New Year!
