My Last.FM top 20 artists of 2006, with some surprises: Snow Patrol topped the list, Alanis was a one-day back-catalog binge, and Goldfrapp would rank higher if they'd released more. Late discoveries Larrikin Love and We Are Scientists missed the cut entirely.

I review the Sugababes' "Taller in More Ways," predicting six potential singles, and praise the band's effortless cool. Then I break down my iTunes star-rating system, from one-star duds auto-deleted from my iPod to the rare five-star classics I'll defend to the death, Britney included.

Give me your top five artists or bands you're loving right now.
