Where would you be without the SPB team?

Luckily for you, Scene Point Blank has been quick-witted enough to assemble a list of the most important things of 2006, complete in one easily-digestable package. Lucky you!

While you're reading through this year's review (including top 5 dvds, singles, comebacks, shows, things that sucked, things that ruled, noteworthy songs, worst cover art, and reasons The Fresh Prince was awesome), spare a moment to reflect on how grateful you are for Scene Point Blank.We're too good to you.
