I don't know if I would go see them at the 9:30 Club again. I couldn't see or hear since the place seemed oversold with loud-talking, hat wearing, inconsiderate frat boys.

2006 was an odd year for me…this Fall/Winter I missed easily a dozen shows I wanted to see, six of which I already had tickets for… I've been too busy and a wee uninspired. I saw 39 shows this year (I've been at about 50 shows the last few years). Although, having hit SxSW and catching 26 bands there makes for a pretty full year.

My best:

* The Hold Steady, Black Cat, Feb 1
* The Pogues, 9:30, Fri, 3/10
* The National, BC, Wed, 3/15
* SXSW, Austin, 3/16 - 3/20z; Deathray Davies, She Wants Revenge, Robert Pollard (w/ Tommy Keene)
* Editors, Stellastarr, 9:30 3/29
* Art Brut, The Rogers Sisters, BC 4/9
* Robert Pollard, Bowery Ballroom 4/20
* They Might Be Giants, 9:30 4/26
* Elefant, Black Cat, 5/19
* Sleater Kinney, 9:30 8/1
* Foo Fighters, Borgata A.C. 8/18
* Little Steven's Underground Garage Festival: Fleshtones, Mooney Suzuki, Black Cat, 9/24
* The Wrens, BC 10/28
* Ok Go, Irving Plaza 11/18

I heard the most amazing things about this show…wish I'd been there.

Youth Group @ 9:30

Surprised this one hasn't come up..

The Raconteurs at the Norva in Norfolk. Best show of the year.

Belle & Sebastian @ 930 and Jenny with the Watson Twins also awed me.

no one has mentioned beck at the black cat backroom. that was an incredible show.

the pet shop boys show at DAR would probably sneak in at the bottom of my top-10 list, great stage show - although i'm not sure if we're considering musicals here :)

#1 - Tom Waits @ Detroit Opera House
#2 - Wolf Parade @ Ottobar
#3 - The Pogues @ 9:30
#4 - The Who @ VFest
#5 - Belle & Sebastian @ Black Cat
#6 - Mission of Burma @ Black Cat
#7 - Sunset Rubdown @ Black Cat
#8 - New York Dolls @ Black Cat (preceded by Mr. Quintron & Miss Pussycat @ 9:30 on the same night)
#9 - Magnolia Electric Co. @ Black Cat
#10 - Animal Collective @ Black Cat

Most Disappointing (tie) - Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah @ 9:30 and Hold Steady @ Black Cat

No one has mentioned RJD2's show at 9:30 on 2/4, that was probably in my top five for the year.
