A couple of threads here and there -- the ones about the ones that got away and who you'd want to see make a cumback -- got me to thinking recently about what the best year ever for porn might have been.
Just based on the names of some of the girls I remember as looking like they'd be really great fucks -- Karina Kay, Dani Woodward, Penny Flame, Jasmine Byrne, Sunny Lane, Nyomi Marcella, Jenna Haze, Taryn Thomas, Nautica Thorn, to name a few -- I figured that somewhere around 2006 would be a good guess for what for me would be the high point of porn.
So I went to IAFD and starting calling up some names. Boy, did I hit the nail on the head. By the time I was through, I'd come up with a list of almost 150 performers that either are on my list of favorites or seem to have been quite popular among other ADTers and whom IAFD listed as active in 2006. Most are American, or European girls who shot for American companies; I've included a few other Europeans I happen to like who shot scenes mainly in Europe.
A few of caveats: There are lots of people I didn't check whom many of you would. I'm not much of a fan of large-breasted blondes, for example, and there are some girls who have done a lot of work in features and through studios that I haven't kept up with. IAFD may be wrong on some of the dates. IAFD includes hiatus years in a career, so, for example, I'm not sure whether Chloe Nicole, Kylie Ireland, or Julia Ann was active in 2006. A performer may have retired before 2006, but her listing may include compilations that have scene scenes originally released before she retired.
Still, even allowing for any such issues, it's a pretty impressive list.
First, though four whom I checked who didn't make it, barely:
Name Start End
Asia Carrera 1993 2005
Emma Cummings 2007 2010
Gina Ryder 1998 2005
Madison Monroe 2004 2005
Tiffany Brookes 2007 2010
Now for the list. What's interesting to me is that, while many of us can't exactly match the name of some hottie we were enamored with 18 months ago when she was doing five web scenes before retiring, most of people here who've been watching porn for a few years will, I think, recignize most of these names. And keep in mind that what this means is that, if you were watching porn in 2006, you would have access to performances by the following women:
Name Start End
Adriana Faust 2006 2009
Alaura Eden 2002 2009

Well, hell. It looked a lot better -- all lined up -- before I hit Submit. Ah, well.

It's fair to say that gonzo peaked in 2006 ... that was still the heyday of Red Light District. 2007 AVNs were probably the funnest.

for me gonzo peaked in 2005 with the release of "No Cum Dodging Allowed 5."

Bumping this very old thread because I've been thinking about the 2000s lately. This is a great list, although I noticed a few key stars who were missing:

Belladonna! (although she peaked in 2001-2002)
Judy Star (still going strong by 2006)
Whitney Stevens (debuted in 2006)
Sara Stone (at the height of her boobism in 2006)
Bailey (big tit teen slut who was only around for a few years, but had some amazing scenes in 2005-2006)
Kat (relentless petite latina gangbang whore, the ultimate jailbait fantasy)
Bobbi Starr (debuted in 2006)
Pandora Dreams (she might have retired in 2006, but a few of her movies came out in 2006 and she did some amazing stuff before she got out of the business)

But I fully agree, 2006 (or maybe 2005) was the best year in porn history. Production value was pretty high and the money seemed to be relatively good with fewer options for performers, so we had a golden era of super hot girls willing to do unspeakably slutty things on camera.

Katin was probably my personal favorite from that era.

Don't forget Sasha Knox's one superlative year. She did just about everything except interracial, which she kept for a rainy day. She had unaffected GND looks and an endless sweet streak. She had a rare grace that allowed her to wear makeup without looking made up. After that one year, and an appearance on a British reality show, she fell in love and quit. She's since returned, but that year was legendary.

Incidentally, whatever IAFD says, Melanie Jagger left the biz in 2004.

YES, how I could I forget Sasha Knox. 2006 was a hell of a year for her. A few highlights for me are Cum Fart Cocktails 4, Sperm Splattered, and the legendary Baker's Dozen 8 with Amy Reid. Jesus, just reading her IAFD list from 2006 makes me hard.

^^ IAFD says a performer is still 'active' if a new scene is released in that year that isn't from a compilation, and doesn't take into account when it was filmed. So all it would have taken is for one scene to be held back and released in 2006 for her to still be considered 'active', despite being retired.

Always feet n ass. In that order.

I forgot a couple others from 2006 who were quite strong with blowbangs in particular: Lexi Love and Jamie Huxley!
