Baby Machine by This Et Al came out officially in 2007, although I got a first edition because I'm cool in 2006. Anyway, it definitely deserves to be up there in an albums of the year poll.

Naw, me too.


I do like neon bible...enough...but not in the same way i fell in love with the Funeral....so much more...lively?

Yeah he sure did. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to him.

2007... what an amazing year.
Nearly impossible to come up with a good top ten!!!
But I tried and here it is:

01- The National - Boxer
02- Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
03- Dragons - Here Are The Roses
04- DeVotchKa - How It Ends
05- Interpol - Our Love To Admire
06- Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
07- Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards
08- Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times
09- Windmill - Puddle City Racing Lights
10- Band Of Horses - Cease To Begin

Honourable mentions:
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder
Tegan & Sara - The Con
Cherry Ghost - Thirst For Romance

.... and a whole bunch of other great albums..

Oh and DeVotchKa's album was re-released in Europe this year...

A lot of the records I've been anticipating are out, now - just the new Radiohead, Beirut and Animal Collective albums to look forward to. Still, the Radiohead album is the seminal release of the year for me, I can't wait for that.

i think i'll go ahead and assign points to the entries in this thread, plus the other one, to come up with some sort of representative list of 2007. unofficial a'course.

10 points for #1 through 1 point for #10.

deadline is 1/15, if anybody wants to update their lists. dunka.

^ LAST CALL.

Go ahead and begin, I am eager to see these results.

Well, that makes two of us. Haha!

notes: Neon Bible was also on the 2nd most lists (7); Cease to Begin was on the 4th most lists (5), but only scored 11 points because it was placed so low on each.

Okkervil river beat Radiohead. Awesome

Was there ever any doubt?

40% of my list made the "master" list. Yeah!

^ Haha. 50% for me!

all in all, those 10 albums are certainly representative of common favorites from music fans worldwide and everyone should probably hear them at least once.
