Review by Linda Dufresne

The Playlist June 2006: A Rock Odyssey That Almost Feels Like a Happy Accident So, here we are with The Playlist June 2006, a rock compilation album that’s like the musical equivalent of finding an old mixtape in your car’s glove compartment. You’re not sure who made it or why, but suddenly you’re hooked. Released in—you guessed it—June 2006, this UK-born gem comes courtesy of Uncut magazine, those tastemakers who seem to know what you want before you even know yourself. Kudos to Allan Jones and Roy Carr for compiling this eclectic mess (in the best way possible), Rob Biddulph for designing something that doesn’t make your eyes bleed, and Andrew Thompson for mastering tracks so they sound crisp enough to survive a decade-plus on shuffle. Let’s get one thing straight: This isn’t just another lazy grab-bag of songs slapped together for nostalgia’s sake. It’s more like a curated love letter to rock music—albeit one written by someone who might’ve had too much coffee while writing it. The genre-spanning tracklist includes everything from haunting ballads to gritty jams, all tied together by a vibe that screams, “Hey, remember when music actually mattered?” Standout Tracks That’ll Stick With You First up is "We Will Not Be Lovers", which hits you right out of the gate like a punchline you didn’t see coming. What makes this track unforgettable is its raw emotion—it’s got that gut-punch quality where you feel like the singer’s staring directly into your soul. Or maybe they’re just yelling at their ex; either way, it works. There’s no overproduction here, just pure unfiltered heartache wrapped in electric guitar riffs. If you’ve ever been ghosted—or, let’s be real, if you’ve done the ghosting—this song will hit uncomfortably close to home. Then there’s "Eight Miles High," a certified head-spinner. Psychedelic vibes? Check. Lyrics that leave you Googling metaphors late at night? Double check. This track feels like being invited to a party where everyone’s dressed as aliens, and somehow, you fit right in. It’s trippy without being pretentious, catchy without trying too hard. Listening to it feels like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded—disorienting yet oddly exhilarating. By the time the last chord fades, you’re left wondering how something so chaotic can still feel so satisfying. Why Should You Care? Sure, you could argue that compilations like these are basically glorified Spotify playlists before Spotify existed. But what sets The Playlist June 2006 apart is its personality. These aren’t just random tracks thrown together; they’re carefully chosen pieces that tell a story—or at least start a really good conversation. Each song has its own quirks, flaws, and moments of brilliance, much like the people who listen to them. And hey, props to Uncut for reminding us that rock music doesn’t have to take itself too seriously. Sometimes it’s okay to kick back, crank up the volume, and let loose—even if you accidentally scare your cat in the process. Final Thoughts If I were forced to sum up The Playlist June 2006 in three words, I’d say: messy, magical, mandatory. Messy because it jumps genres faster than my Wi-Fi drops during a Zoom call. Magical because despite its unpredictability, it somehow clicks. And mandatory because if you call yourself a fan of rock, you owe it to yourself to give this a spin. Oh, and here’s the unexpected kicker: After listening to this album, I now firmly believe Tesla would’ve been a rockstar if he’d spent less time inventing electricity and more time booking gigs. Just saying.

Interesting fact about Album

Here's something cool: The Playlist June 2006, a rock album curated by Uncut in the UK, wasn’t just another compilation. It was put together by music legends Allan Jones and Roy Carr, who handpicked tracks spanning decades. One standout is “We Will Not Be Lovers” alongside other gems like “Eight Miles High.” Fun detail—Rob Biddulph designed it, and Andrew Thompson mastered the sound. It’s like a time capsule of rock history, crafted with love by people who truly understood its soul.
