So, the votes are in, the count has been done, and here it is, the CMU Daily readership's top ten favourite tracks of the year, in order of preference. And hurrah for this - thanks, I'm sure, to some proactive lobbying on someone's part (but not ours, I should stress, that would be cheating) - long long term CMU favourites Misty's Big Adventure top the poll with their wonderful Sunday Best release 'Fashion Parade', very closely followed by Kanye West's personal favourite, Simian v Justice's simply brilliant 'We Are Your Friends', which could have been track of the year for the last two years, but which was finally formally released in 2006. Let's not forget, CMU enjoys the most knowledgeable, insightful, intelligent and well rounded readership of all the music media (look at me, getting all sycophantic), which means that all of these ten tracks should feel honoured to appear on this list (if a 'track' was capable of 'feeling honoured'). What I'm saying is, well done one and all.
1. Misty's Big Adventure - Fashion Parade (Sunday Best)
2. Simian v Justice - We Are Your Friends
3. Nelly Furtado - Maneater
4. Jarvis Cocker - Running The World
5. Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
6. Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down (Domino)
7. Amy Winehouse - Rehab (Universal/Island)
8. Hafdis Huld - Tomoko
9. Jim Noir - Eanie Meanie
10. The Rapture - Get Myself Into It
