- July 30, 2006: Metallica:Fade To Black nominated by Sean Colombo.
- Metallica was overdue for a nomination, and this song is solid.
- July 29, 2006: Sufjan Stevens:Casimir Pulaski Day nominated by Evisruc.
- A simple, emotionally heavy song about a boy, the girl he fell in love with that slowly dies of cancer, and the spiritual crisis and anger afterwards.

- July 22, 2006: Orbital:You Lot nominated by Sean Colombo.
- This was mentioned in The Search and has a pretty interesting tirade in it.
- July 21, 2006: John Mellencamp:Authority Song nominated by Sean Colombo.
- Because people keep telling me this site is going to get sued into oblivion :P
- July 20, 2006: Metallica:Master Of Puppets nominated by Veyron aka Iamdead.
- This is a GREAT, f*ckin' GREAT song about drugs... And what they'll do to you...
- July 19, 2006: Tool:Vicarious nominated by Bagel7.
- I can't get this song out of my head, and I don't see how anyone could, with the amazing guitar chords, rhythmically mesmerizing bass line, ceaselessly pounding drums, and Maynard's voice crescendoing from a strain to a roar.
- July 18, 2006: Iron & Wine:In My Lady's House nominated by thymothman.
- This song acoustics are simply amazing. It expresses love in an amazing and poetic form and makes me love love again!
- July 17, 2006: System Of A Down:Kill Rock 'N Roll nominated by MuZack.
- Because "I felt like the biggest like the biggest asshole when I killed Rock 'N Roll", and because this song kicks ass!! I especially like the part where it goes "Every time I look in your eyes, every day I'm watching you die". This is a good song!
- July 16, 2006: Toten Hosen, Die:Schön Sein nominated by Alex42.
- Because now I have a Abitur, a BMW and I am very schön :-P.
- July 15, 2006: Leonard Cohen:Hallelujah nominated by Evisruc.
- Leonard Cohen has the reputation of being one of the greatest song writers in the 20th century, up there with Bob Dylan and Neil Young. This song is one of his finer works, which has since been covered by people like Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice, Imogen Heap and more. It's an ambiguous song that could both be seen as religious and non-religious at the same time.
- July 14, 2006: Righteous Brothers:Unchained Melody nominated by Muddiphuddi214.
- One of the greatest songs of all time.
- July 13, 2006: MC Plus Plus:Blunt Code nominated by Muddiphuddi214.
- You have to appreciate it when someone has incredible coding skills and other talents as well.
- July 12, 2006: Kinks:Wild Thing nominated by Muddiphuddi214.
- Fün song!
- July 11, 2006: Ben_Folds:Philosophy nominated by Evisruc.
- Seemingly about objectivism, though Ben Folds himself has provided a different (joke) answer about what the song is about. Either way, a strongly written song.
- July 10, 2006: Gorillaz:Feel Good Inc. nominated by Peter_shillito.
- The song that got me into Gorillaz and the first music I bought without being pressured into buying it.
- July 09, 2006: Wolf Parade:I'll Believe In Anything nominated by Consonance.
- This song, with it's emotional lyrics and provocative imagery, is a triump of happiness and sadness.
- July 06, 2006: Morrissey:Sing Your Life nominated by Saint Artie.
- A catchy and, as I see it, true song about speaking your mind. Say what you mean (and mean what you sing) or else it's just going to waste away.
- July 05, 2006: Eminem:Mockingbird nominated by SyneWave.
- I absolutely love this song! You can just feel the powerful emotion Eminem puts in this song. Its sad, moving and masterful. I, honestly, cried when I first heard this song. Its that sad and moving.
- July 04, 2006: Puffy AmiYumi:Your Love Is a Drug nominated by Hołek.
- I just love this song... It is some kind of ska, rock, and Japanese traditional instruments mix, but it is so powerful... Maybe lyrics are not very well, but music is so good... I think it is the best song from Puffy I heard until now.
- July 03, 2006: Feeder:Moonshine nominated by Tene.
- This heart wrenching progressive melody marked the end of the last Feeder album that the highly talented John Henry Lee worked on. Seen as a masterpiece by both music "nerds" and the audiophile community as a whole, it was so touching that many Feeder fans mistakenly see the album as a genuine tribute album. Featuring both haunting lyrics on Nicholas' part, and instrumentals to match, the song speaks of dedication, and apparent anguish and regret for a lost one.
- July 02, 2006: Muse:Exo-Politics nominated by Jimmed.
- I have had this song stuck in my head for days now, and I think it is wonderfully constructed. The lyrics are... well, Matt Bellamy, but the song is catchy and powerful.
- July 01, 2006: System Of A Down:Chop Suey! nominated by Gorilla Knight.
- A song that made System of a Down a popular band. It is by far one of their greatest songs, and one of my personal favorites.
