Yeah. Everyone knows why I restarted this blog. Three words: Best Of-Lists.
The cream of the crop being, of course, the best albums of the year. So this time I'm gonna reach out a bit more. What follows is a list of all of the albums I've gotten this year. All seven or eight of you out there, let me know what your favorite albums of the year are. If they're not on my list, suggest them, and I'll try to listen to the album(s) before I finalize my list.
So without further ado, these are the albums I have from 2007 (in random order so as to not suggest my preferences):
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

Listen to:
Yellow House, by Grizzly Bear
(in particular the songs lullabye and knife)
Oh No! Oh My!, self-titled
(in particular Walk in the Park, I Have No Sister, Jane is Fat)
Friend or Foe, by Menomena
(in particular Muscle'n Flo)
Andorra, by Caribou
(all good)
Strawberry Jam, by Animal Collective
(Peacebone, Fireworks)
Human The Death Dance, by Sage Francis
(all of it is fantastic)
I've been meaning to get the menomena and animal collective albums, I'll work on the other 2 as well. But Grizzly Bear and Oh No! Oh My!, while good, are 2006 albums, sadly.
ah, indeed
In that case, of the albums listed my top 5 are:
1. In Rainbows (bitch)
2. Sound of Silver
3. Human The Death Dance
4. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
5. The Reminder
Though honestly it's like I love In Rainbows and the other four tie really closely for second place. I also hate comparing hip hop albums to indie albums. Also, Neon Bible should be up there.
god i hate these lists
i think St. Vincent also definitely deserves a shout out
I second the Oh No! Oh My! comment
