How do you know you’re getting old?
You start reminiscing about music in the good ol’ days of yore.
2006 does not feel like 10 years ago. Yet here I am casually scrolling through *procrastinating through the Wiki archives of music, thinking 2006 really was a freaking banner year for awesome songs, incredible albums and soon-to-be-massive debuts artists.
Timberlake had brought sexy back, Amy Winehouse went back to black, and Take That made their comeback. Emo-bands like MCR, Fall Out Boy, AAR and Panic! At The Disco reigned the airwaves as did well established pop acts like Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, and Pink. The Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks and The Plain White Tees all broke into the mainstream, McFLY were killing it with their third album, and a little known country artist called Taylor Swift told us a love story ;)

Excuse me whilst I kick back and listen to these songs and a pretend I’m 14 years old again cause honestly I forgot just how fecking good these songs were – and this is just a select few.
