The 2006 2-Disc Mix

This year, I decided to do something a little bit different for the "Top Songs of 2006" thing. Rather than do a countdown, like last year, I decided to make a 2-disc mix of my favourite tracks of the year.

Below are the tracklistings for the two (very meticulously sequenced) discs, which together make up my 37 favourite songs for 2006. The only restriction I've placed on myself is a one-song-per-artist limit, so that there's plenty of variety.

(Note - I make no guarantee that each of these will actually fit onto a disc. My burner isn't working, so I haven't checked. They're both pretty much right on the 80 minute mark for length, so there's a chance that they might be ever-so-slightly too long. Just play them on your iPod, or something)
