Live 105 playlist October 1, 2006

October 1, 2006 was an important date for Live 105: it was the day they celebrated their 20th anniversary. They did so by playing their top 10 songs from each year every hour (although with slight alterations because we can't have people remembering that we once played Creed) mixed in with other songs from those years, calls and sweepers from past Live 105 DJs and a montage of the station's old IDs.

You can relive some of that vintage nostalgia with this entry, where I tuned in when the station was counting down the top songs of...the previous year (Hey, it's over a decade old now, so I guess it counts as vintage.) If you want to see what the rest of the list was like, go here. (Spoiler: "Feel Good Inc" is #1.)

1. Beck- E-Pro (#9)

2. Death Cab for Cutie- Soul Meets Body (#8)

3. Lovemakers- Prepare for the Fight (Bonus song)

4. Green Day- Holiday (#7)

5. Arcade Fire- Rebellion (Lies) (#6)

6. Nine Inch Nails- The Hand That Feeds (#5)

7. Audioslave- Be Yourself (Bonus song)

8. Foo Fighters- Best of You (#4)

9. The Bravery- An Honest Mistake (#3)

10. Queens of the Stone Age- Little Sister (#2)

4. The Vines
5. Queens of the Stone Age
6. Interpol
