    But I give the edge to the Robinson's and company.


    I was just gonna say the exact same. Love both albums (warpaint and consolers). However, I'm gonna have to give the edge to consolers...carolina drama justifies the winning edge.
    Whats got the whole world faking?

    I agree, Consolers without a doubt :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Agreed, although sadly it would likely only be my 8th or 9th favorite from 2007. It has been a pretty weak year for music for me. I'm banking on TV on the Radio blasting everything else out of the water next month.

    frightened rabbit - the midnight organ fight
    the tallest man on earth - shallow graves

    are probably my two favourites with lots honourable mentions that i cant be bothered mentioning.

    Appropriate thread. Key word being 'still'.

    For me, Its still Goldfrapp's 'Seventh Tree'. Not much else has been close imo...

    Still Raconteurs for me..I just checked all of 2007....:)
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Holy crap, I said either Evil Urges or Brighter than creation's dark in my first post, but I was forgetting one very important release: Black Crowes WARPAINT baby! Awesome fuckin' album from the second best band playing anywhere in the world today
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Consolers is good and all but...

    Dr. Dog's new record "Fate" is one the best records I've heard in years.

    The Black Keys "Attack and Release" is fucking cool too.

    I'm sure I've posted in here already but today I feel like the best of the year is Gunpowder Temple of Heaven by Birchville Cat Motel.

    I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person on this board who doesn't "get" the Raconteurs. Anyway...
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    You're not.


    I also don't rate The White Stripes at all.

    It's like... okay, you're a swampy, old-fashioned rock band. But why does it all feel so lumpen and boring?

    Anyways, I guess I should add Evil Urges to my earlier suggestions, but it'd be a far better album with maybe three of the middle tracks cut out. I'd say Sec Walkin, Librarian and Look At You should go.
