Year End Reviews--My Favorite Albums of 2007
We have reached that golden time of year when everyone gets to do best of lists of the past years, albums, concert, singles and all that crap. I felt this year was not as good as 2006. Good year for concerts, not so much for follow up records to all the great debut bands of last year.
So I will start of with my favorite albums...maybe not the best of the year, because I haven't listened to everything that was released-- but at the end, these were the ones I listened to most. Here are my top 25.
25. Babyshambles--Shotters Nation
24. Saul Williams--The Inevitable Rise and Liberation Of Niggy Tardust!
23. Sivert Hoyem and the Volunteers--Exiles
22. Eastern Conference Champions--Ameritown
21. Bloc Party--A Weekend In The City/Another Weekend In The City (B-sides)
20. Aesop Rock--None Shall Pass
19. The Maccabees--Colour It In
18. Richard Hawley--Lady's Bridge
17. UNKLE--War Stories
16. The Twilight Sad--Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters
15. Dizzee Rascal--Maths + English
14. White Rabbits--Fort Nightly
13. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club--Baby 81
12. Devendra Banhart--Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon
11. The Enemy--We Will Live And Die In These Towns
10. LCD Soundsystem--Sound Of Silver
09. The Cribs--Men's Needs, Womens Needs, Whatever
08. Spoon--Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
07. The Good, The Bad, & The Queen--Self Titled
06. Grinderman--Grinderman
05. Iron And Wine--The Shepard's Dog
04. Soulsavers--It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land
03. Cocorosie--The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stillborn
02. Klaxons--Myths Of The Near Future
01.a) The Veils--Nux Vomica--(Released overseas in 06/America in 07)
01. Arctic Monkeys--Favourite Worst Nightmare
I had to put Arctic Monkeys in the number one spot (again) simply because they are the best band of the last 2.5 years. They could have put out another number one album with just the B-sides included in the singles from this record. Favourite Worst Nightmare is Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not ...on steroids, faster, stronger, better.
