Is There A Thread For The No Depression "Best Of 2006" Listings?

Reason I ask is because the thread from late '05 on No Depression's critics poll for that year was so amazing, I was hoping there'd be an equivalent this year.

If there is, I'm staying out it, ha ha.

I think I pasted the results from the No D editor's blog on an ILX Sandbox thread for best of 2006 lists from various publications. I do not think anyone who I would have expected to comment on it (folks who post on country and soul threads) commented on it.

I was kinda disappointed by most of it, and I'm usually more tolerant of that kinda stuff than Chuck Eddy is...!!!

I'm sure Rascal Flatts topped the list.

What I wrote on Frank Kogan's live journal blog about it:

Looks like Hold Steady actually got plenty of support on No Depression ballots (which are linked below; I haven't seen a link for the actual overall results, but Hold Steady will be way up there, looks like.) Nice to see a smattering of Shawn Camp votes, and at least one Dale Watson vote. It's somewhat shocking to see so many votes for a half-assed Tom Petty album and dime-a-dozen Black Keys album (both of which I reviewed in Spin) along with, yeah, that mediocre Drive By Truckers album. Support for the boring Rosanne Cash album is sadly no suprise:

If my dad could vote it would have been two. God and Whiskey was one of the birthday gifts I gave him and he loved it.

yeah, jump into the fire, Chuck! I did not vote for Cash, the Truckers, but did vote for Dylan. nor did I vote for Waits, Escovedo. I voted for Andy Fairweather Low--did you guys know he's nominated for a BLUES award, whatever the Memphis-based Handy Awards are now called??!! "Comeback" of the year??!! that is the blues, brother.

I am also, I think, the only ND writer to vote for Gale Garnett's "Sausalito Heliport" reissue in that category. I modestly say that this is one of the best records of all time, she sings like Cher up a tree and the first spoken-word piece is mind-boggling. Anyone who wants a burn of it will get one.

"she sings like Cher up a tree"

Award winner, best description of the week.
