Top 5 of 2007

Hola,

This is something I have been meaning to do ever since new years. Seeing how January of 2008 is almost over i would say it is about time. These 5 albums are not only extremely good, but also the only 5 albums that I really loved all year. I hope somebody can recommend a couple more that I can really get into, because to me... 2007 seemed like a dud.

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows

2. Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

3. Feist - The Reminder

4. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

5. Band of Horses - Cease to Begin

I think part of the reason I was so upset with new albums coming out this year is caused by a huge dissapointment. My favorite band, up until recently, was Rilo Kiley. I have loved all of their albums and seeing them live years ago was incredible. Unfortunately for us all, Rilo Kiley has fallen from grace. I thought the Album "Under the Black Light" was awful. I was horrified when I listened to it the first time. I composed myself and gave it one more shot...

after brushing the taste of vomit out of my mouth, I threw the CD away.

Biggest dissapointment of the year...

Rilo Kiley. Boo!

Okkervil River - The Stage Names
That would be my number one. Other than that, I might agree with that. Ooh, also the new Iron and Wine. It wasn't the best year for music, but I found a lot of good stuff old and new. I haven't heard the LCD new one, so I can't say on that one. But, I'll be downloading it shortly.

I agree with most of what you and the king are saying here. Just thought I'd throw The Tallest Man on Earth your way.
