STOP THE PRESSES! IT'S ROB'S TOP TEN AND THE STAFF TOP TEN!

Since we published our top ten lists, hardcore NYCD fans have been asking "Hey, what about Rob's top ten?" To which we responded, "Aaahh, Rob only listens to Grateful Dead records." Obviously, we were mistaken, because here's his Top Ten for 2006!

And now, using our trusty abacus and some old IBM punchcards, we've managed to tabulate the NYCD Top Ten for 2006, incorporating all our picks based on an arcane and complicated mathematical formula that's been in the family for generations. Hold onto your hats, people!
