Greg is back.. Best 8 of 2007- Sorry so late

I guess I didn't buy as much music last year as I thought. I could only come up with 8 cd's that I felt were worthy of my top 10. Anyway, here they are.

Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace:
I don’t think that Dave Grohl can do anything that isn’t catchy. I just love this band. Even though this isn’t my favorite FF cd, I still thought that it has everything that makes a great cd.

Bruce Springsteen – Magic
I will admit that the first time I listened to this cd I didn’t hear anything really special. After a few more listens, I think that this might be the cd where Springsteen might want to retire. Why chance a piece of crap after this great release.

Amy Winehouse – Back to Black
Okay, I know that I have a strange fascination with this really troubled woman but push that aside and this is still one really great piece of ass…I mean work. She’s walking away with the Grammy….if she’s not in prison.

Rush – Snakes & Arrows
Big Rush fan, okay?

Pucifer – V is for Vagina
I think the title says it all. I'd rather have a new Tool cd, but Maynard's side projects will tide me over until then. It could have been Pigmy Love Circus. Their next cd should be out in a year or so for those still waiting.

White Stripes – Icky Thump
I don’t think that Jack White can do anything wrong. Every song on this cd is solid and very listenable. Maybe one of two or three other bands that are actually original.

Radiohead – In Rainbows
My favorite release of 2007. I know that Radiohead tends to sound the same from album to album, but they have the formula down as far as I’m concerned. This is by far my most played music from last year and it came out late in the year. It was well worth the 5 Euros I paid for it whatever that turned out to be in dollars.

Michael Buble – Call me Irresponsible
I know that I’ll get shit for this one, but I bought this cd for my wife and I really like it. This guy’s going places. He’s a Harry Connick Jr, Sinatra cross that has it together. As much as I don’t see the rest of the group listening to it, I’ll keep it as my guilty pleasure of 2007.
