i disagree.

and you are wrong, as for the list year zero is only worth mentioning because of the AMAZING publicity buildup the album is crap, Magic is ok, but ok shouldn't be on best of 07 list. Like where are Les Savy Fav or Spoon, Dinosaur Jr? I imagine most people don't know who Ike Reilly or Two Cow Garage are so even though those were my 2 fav albums this year I dont expect to see them on here but come on Bright Eyes?

the inclusion of foo fighters on that list immediately tells me that said list is bollocks. mediocrity at it's grandest.

i agree.

i keep hearing new Foo on the radio and for lack of a better word or phrase it is awefullllll...so repetitive and boring.

it's forcing me to want to listen to some of the older material and try and convince me that at one time it wasn't this bad.

i'm not a hater at all either, the self-titled & colour are great records, but from then on it comes in bits & pieces.

I have no idea what the hype about this band is, They are the flavor of the month and in another year people will be asking the Arcade Who???

I highly doubt that. Neon Bible proved that these guys are no one-hit-wonder. They're one of the most unique and inspiring bands to come along in ages, and they're gonna be around for a while.

I tend to agree. They're a band thats built for their live show where they can throw out a good portion of their album.

You know, it's interesting. I have never loved the Foos. They've had songs here and there that I loved, but I had never loved a Foo Fighters album. . .until this one. It is my biggest surprise of the year. Perfect mix of their rocking and mellow sides. The Pretender is probably one of the weaker efforts on the album, and that's all I hear on the radio here in San Francisco.

Some of these bands in the best of list you people have is just pure garbage. All this hype for Arcade fire, the singer has no passion and there lryics are terrible.

Velvet Revolver-Libertad
Eddie Vedder-Into the wild
Matthew Good-Hospital music
Sebastian Bach-Angel down
Robert Plant,Alisson Kraus
Foo Fighters-Echos
Chris Cornell-Carry on

Holy smokes. No passion and terrible lyrics? Have you ever actually listened to them or seen them play? See my earlier responses on Arcade Fire in this thread. I am not even going to bother addressing that ridiculously ignorant thread you just started on them.

And then you list Velvet Revolver, Sebastian Bach, and Chris Cornell's albums as among the best of the year???? Cornell's album was the worst album I heard all year (and I love Cornell!). The other two weren't far from it. Talk about bad lyrics and bad singing. . .

here is the list of the top 10 albums of 2007, not a bunch of indie albums that were good that you will put away never to get out again, but the albums that you will be listening to this time next year.

1. In Rainbows--Radiohead
2. Magic--Bruce Sprinsteen
3. Sky Blue Sky--Wilco
4. Graduation--Kanye West
5. Kings of Leon--Because of The Times
6. Bright Eyes--Cassadaga
7. The National--Boxer
8. Foo Fighters--Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace
9. NIN--Year Zero
10. Queens of the Stone Age--Era Vulgaris

Pretty cool list. I don't think the Foo Fighters would make my top ten but i was pleasantly surprised by that album.

I think my favs this year were
modest mouse- we were dead long before the ship sank
national- boxer
arcade fire- neon bible
wilco- sky blue sky
baroness- red album

those are probably my top 5 though they seem to change a bit as i listen to my 07 albums more and more.

Any list without Zeitgeist is a joke IMO.

I honestly think Zeitgeist is a joke! And I LOOVE the Pumpkins! before Zeitgeist that is! The new ones is Billy Corgan solo in old packaging, period!

Strangest Tribe

Band of Horses and The Hurt Toenail are on my 2007 lists

2 good songs on Neon Bible, the rest is filled with mediocrity. Bad vocals too.

Disagree big time...only one bad song on the album...the one after intervention is dreadful.

1. Intervention
2. Well and the Lighthouse
3. Antichrist Television Blues

Sebastian Bach, ha that's funny I thought you were being serious for a minute and just had shit taste but clearly you're a kidder, well done.

boxwine_in_hell

I agree with a lot of these top 10 lists. There are 2 blatant omissions in my opinion.

The Polyphonic Spree - The Fragile Army
The White Stripes - Icky Thump
