No top ANYTHING list is valid if Rilo Kiley's new jank is on it.

meh, i liked challengers

12/23/2007 1:59:39 PM

I wish I understood why everyone likes the Spoon album so much.

12/23/2007 2:16:53 PM

probably because its really fucking good

no doubt. one of my top 5 albums of the year. and to be honest i'll probably be listening to that one a lot more over the long-term than most of my other favorites from this year.

It's unprofessional to refer to someone by their first name only when you're sucking their dick.

I added some of their songs to knc's rotation back in the begining of the year. Im sure they're still in there.

The cd had some great stuff on it but I wouldnt say its awesome.

12/23/2007 4:45:14 PM

spoon: meh
new pornographers: great, though the last album is not as good as some of their other albums
national: growing on me
rilo kiley: were formerly great, now ruined by Under the Blacklight

lame

yea neon bible in the top 6 albums of the year? in rainbows at #1 album of the year? meh

1/3/2008 10:37:31 AM

arcade fire's album was a little bit of a disappointment, but i think radiohead really brought it with in rainbows.

1/3/2008 10:48:50 AM

admittedly im not an arcade fire fan but i could respect funeral for what it was. neon bible was garbage tho imo.

1/3/2008 10:53:49 AM

still can't believe that many people like in rainbows as much as they do

and i'm really not buying that "all my friends" is the consensus best song of the year. it's not even the best song on that album

1/3/2008 1:33:09 PM

I really like "All Of My Friends" but theres no way it's the song of the year either. I also can't believe DMST didn't get any love at all. "A With Living/The Universe!" are together probably the best song I've heard in the past few years

1/3/2008 1:57:19 PM

neon bible wont be in my top 20, while funeral was certainly in my top 3 that year

in rainbows definitely will be

I love neon bible more and more with every listen

I don't listen to much indie rock, so I guess I miss out on a lot of what's been talked about in this thread... but for what it's worth, here's my favorites so far from 2007. I'm still missing a lot of good albums that I haven't been able to listen to yet.

1. "None Shall Pass" - Aesop Rock
2. "Requiem - Mezzo Forte" - Virgin Black
3. "Mirrored" - Battles
4. "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" - El-P
5. "Mythmaker" - Skinny Puppy
6. "Folk Aesthetic 1996-2006" - Tenhi
7. "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?" - Combichrist
8. "Dead Again" - Type O Negative
9. "Judgement" - VNV Nation
10. "The Heart Of Everything" - Within Temptation
11. "Illumination" - Tristania
12. "Trail of the Unwary" - Nest
13. "When I'm Dead" - Dismantled
14. "Ghost Opera" - Kamelot
15. "Maths And English" - Dizzee Rascal
16. "Seven Sorrows" - Desiderii Marginis
17. "Optics" - I:Scintilla
18. "Solar Soul" - Samael
19. "Meta" - Assemblage 23
20. "Colors" - Between The Buried And Me

It's good to see what some of the consensus picks are from real people on TWW, though; maybe I'll have to check out these Neon Bibles and Boxers that people keep talking about so much.

2/27/2008 11:25:53 PM

Andrew Bird still tops my list. I thought it was strange that no one (and hardly any "critics") mentioned the DMST album. I thought it was great addition to the discography. Everyone give tracks 2 and 3 a listen.

2/28/2008 12:00:02 PM

I've got DMST at #20

my personal list is a little bit different as far as the order, but this was a collaborative with another producer.
