My 2007 Album
This isn’t a list of the “best” songs of 2007, or even my favorites. It’s a personal 2007 compilation that tries to capture my experience with music over the past 12 months. The songs are meant to play off each other – sometimes in obvious ways, often not – and there’s a purpose to the sequencing.
Tagged: Album for a Year, Art Brut, Grinderman, Kings of Leon, Lists, Modest Mouse, Monster Magnet, Pelican, PJ Harvey, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Self-Involvement, Serj Tankian, Shannon Wright, Shins, Sunset Rubdown, Tegan and Sara, The Avett Brothers, The Good the Bad and the Queen, The Noisettes, White Stripes
Year-end lists of the best albums of the past 12 months are cruel, because either you’ll go bankrupt buying all these fantastic records or you’ll resent how much great music you’re missing because you can’t afford to buy them. I’m not typically a nice person, but these are the holidays, so my year-end list is something that most anybody can afford.
