I fully agree with #Infinity, 2006 had easily some of the greatest stuff of the 2000s and is actually commonly well regarded among music enthusiasts. This board/inthe00s' hatred for that year stems intirely from "hurr durr Laffy Taffy/ringtone rap were popular" which definitely wasn't the only thing out there back then. Looking at the Billboard end list of that year, it's actually not bad either: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_2006Laffy Taffy or any snap rap stuff were nowhere near the most popular songs that year, it was things like "Promiscuous", "Crazy" and the biggest selling single of the 2000s, "Hips Don't Lie". And the most popular hip hop song wasn't even snap either.

2006 may have had the highest number of bad songs, but 2008 was not only contaminated with horrible tracks, it also had far fewer songs to redeem its mediocre overall level. '06 at least had songs like these: 2008, on the other hand, was just miserably safe. Big-sounding drums with solid syncopation were totally wasted on some of the most Maroon 5 compositions ever, while rock had almost no edge left, with few exceptions like "All Around Me" by Flyleaf, which was from a 2005 album, anyway. I'd rather have a year with lots of great songs in spite of the bad stuff than a year with mediocrity across the board. I can come back to plenty of 2006 tracks, but hardly anything at all from 2008 gets played on my iPod much. I find that really interesting to hear, because your perception of 2006 is pretty much how I also view 2008, to be honest. I agree that 2008 had very few real standouts tracks, but I'd argue that the overall quality of the music scene wasn't any worse than it was in 2006. If anything, I actually think music was generally of a higher standard overall in 2008. For instance, in 2008, you had songs such as these: {Spoiler}
These songs unfortunately didn't chart outside of Australia (with the exception of The Living End's "White Noise" and "Walking on a Dream"), but I thought I would include them as I personally think they're quite good (I'd highly recommend listening to them):

The first four songs? I actually really like "Untouched" and "Dream Catch Me", while I also don't mind "That's Not My Name" and "Don't Stop The Music" as well.

Sad to see so many votes for 2006. I personnally think it's easily one of the most interesting years (if not the most) for pop releases in the 2000s (Futuresex/Lovesounds, Loose, Back to Black, Alright Still, Back to Basics, ...)

The issue I see with the perception of 2006 is that the music scene of the time varied significantly depending on where you came from. The United States was right in the midst of the Snap movement and largely missed out on most of the biggest international pop releases, while Europe and Australia saw much more variety in terms of genres represented on the charts. As a result, there is a huge discrepancy in the way in which people perceive 2006. I'm honestly not surprised that the majority of people who voted for 2006 come from North America. The Billboard charts from that year were, for the most part, a massive step down in comparison to the Top-40 charts of the UK and Australia.

Yeah circa 2006 was pretty bad, I liked Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake back then but the snap rap was horrible.

Some stuff like Hinder or Nickelback was pretty awful. On the other hand RHCP had “Dani California” or Incubus’s “Anna Molly” or Death Cab for Cutie was pretty good. Rock was pretty decent overall I suppose.

Rock was pretty decent overall I suppose. Yeah, I tend to agree. In regards to Nickelback, I remember it was around that period of time (circa. 2005/2006) that people's perception of the band had really started to turn for the worse. The majority of people seemed to dislike them by that point. Of course, there were people who disliked them back in the Early 2000s as well, but the level of hate they received back then was no where near as bad as what they copped during the Mid-Late 2000s. I was personally never a fan of their music.

Yeah, if i'm being honest, "How You Remind Me" isn't really all that bad of a song. I also think "Figured You Out" and "Someday" are bearable as well. The rest of their songs, however, I have no time for at all.
