Before embarking properly on the new year, it is only right to pause and reflect a little upon some of the great (and one not so great) music videos of 2006. Since we started our blog in October we’ve been feeding you regular slices of promo brilliance but we thought that we’d take this opportunity to do a brief rundown of some of our faves from the whole year, in case you missed them first time round. There is nothing terribly scientific about this list, and we don’t have nearly enough room here to tell you all the ones that we liked, but here we go, in no particular order…

We begin with Tom Gauld and Dirty UK’s bleak but beautiful animated promo for Ed Harcourt’s Visit from the Dead Dog.
