nichola, birmingham well done to larrikin loveshame they split now though
olivia, germany how lam is it that we are scientist chose their own songs?lostalone rock, so good choice by bruce ;)its strange how some choose so different kinds of songs though..
Bridget Dixon Truro well done Bruce! Breed 77 are just Great!! Can't wait for the new single "Look at me know" should be no.1! Keep a look out for the guys on tour this year, you don't want to miss them!
Peter Southend where is chasing cars?
ian pennells, salisbury i can't believe no one has said any iron maiden songs "for the greater good of god" rocks and we are scientists have chosen their own tracks, that really isn't fair
Paul Millington Liverpool Gotta take your hat off to McCabe from the Zutons for the LYONS & TIGERS shout. Why aren't they huge already?
Amber, Bristol Well I dnt think theres enough dance or r 'n' b in the hits atm!!!
Hannah, Milton Keynes Camille's album is amazing, can I suggest you all learn French cos the lyrics are as good as the music!
Wypoor, Bielsko - Biala, PL Yeah - 'Young Folks': When I thinking about summer. CSS: When you thinking about making love. 'W.A.Y.U.H': When you thinking about dance and Nemone's announce... =) When you thinking about the best single of year: BBC 6 Music - was so much of this. Anyway, this year was a little strange - was a little less intresting music than usually.
bolton/leeds YES NUMBER 73............PIGEONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sue G. - Basingstoke Kudos to Bruce Dickenson for recognising the greatness of Breed77. 2006 was great for them, 2007 will be even better!
mel, chesterfield where's take that patience???
Violet Casselden, Sutton, Surrey Brucey! You legend! Breed 77 are such an amazing band, I am suprised that they're not as big as they should be. Open your ears people! Listen to the man! Breed 77 will rule the wooooooooooooooorld! Ahem.
Steve, Cardiff This year I have loved listening on my new digital radio to Bruce Dickenson's show. I was lucky enough to catch Breed 77 on their outstanding UK tour this year. This and two amazing singles from an incredible album, surely they must have been the best UK band of 2006!
Surbiton, Surrey Where is Knights of Cydonia by Muse?! Best song on the album!
Jim Pengraff London I can't believe no one has mentioned Protokoll's track Moving Forward. It is simply AMAZING... my vote for single of the year!
Shaun Worrall, Midhurst Good to see that Captain are up there. They are the best kept secret in your list. Its fresh and ego-less beautiful sound.
Fay and Emily, Essex High school musical sound track rules and is better than any of the songs in the charts at the moment
Nicole, nyc off of wycombe tho They were so many goodies this year as there is every year. I love nearly all of the songs on the 6music singles list. I love WAS for choosing 3 of their own as their top 3-well played lol.
Sean, Ireland Director - reconnect check it out, tis good
Z, London Well done to Tom R for picking out Blessed Night by Howling Bells. My favourite single this year
Dave O'Neill, Dublin Best song of the year so far isn't on the list... The Fratellis' Whistle For The Choir!
sam brighton arctic monkeys and muse are the bands of the year no question
Luke, Oxford Muse yes but not having knights of cydonia?
Also wheres Evanescence- Call Me When Your Sober? Must agree that Breed77 are taking the world by storm this year!
nicla from italy great voice...simply joan as police woman
adrian pisarello, gibraltar breed 77 rules, your are the man bruce. i belive this lads deserve more credit for their work.
Phil, Liverpool Lyons And Tigers!!!!!!! Better than Zutons!!

Marisa I LOVE that W.A.S. named three of their own songs. They're too awesome. I'd have to say I agree.
Ruth /Birmingham So pleased to see Camille in some lists, hers is a fantastic album
Peppermintpatti - Cardiff Can't decide between:
The Gap - you say Party we say die
The Girl who was too beautiful - The Hot Puppies Memorize the city - The Organ
The Orange Shop - Das Wanderlust
Standing in the Way of Control - Gossip
Lips and Hips - manic Cough
Painting New York on my shoes - Poppy and the jezebels
Ban the gin - VEG Club
Let's Make Love - CSS would have been on if it hadn't been as overplayed! You've killed it!
bob, kilbride N Ireland Look forward to 6music costing me another fortune next year in music I generally won't hear anywhere else!
Janice Elson, Hatherleigh, Devon Bruce Dickinson is and always will be the greatest ever as he is one of the selected genius people to see that Breed77 are an amazing band and Blind is definitely the best single of the year quickly followed by Alive by the same band
