Jenn's Top Ten of 2007

Top Ten of 2007

I wasn’t sure if Radiohead was considered 2007 or 2008. TECHNICALLY it wasn’t released on CD until January 1st, but yes I know you could have downloaded it. So, if Radiohead is considered 2007 my list would be as follows:

1. Radiohead – In Rainbows: I don't care if its nothing "new" for Radiohead, if it ain't broke - don't fix it.

2. The Shins – Wincing the Night Away: This album actually came out on the same day of our Best of 2006 meeting in January of 07. It still is constantly played. Can't get enough of it.

3. Coheed and Cambria – No World For Tomorrow: One of my favorite bands to come out within the 2000's. They have never disappointed me yet.

4. Jimmy Eat World – Chase This Light: Yet another band that has never disappointed me.

5. The Editors – An End Has a Start: Great sophomore effort. Took awhile to grow on me, but then it was contagious

6. Interpol – Our Love to Admire: Sooo much better than their last album. Got me hooked like their first 2 albums. I was beginning to lose faith in them and they redeemed themselves.

7. Arctic Monkeys – Favourite Worst Nightmare: I was worried they would end up yet another British band that put out a killer first album and then sucked on their sophomore release...but this album was just as catchy as their first.

8. Amy Winehouse – Back to Black: Though I don't give her six months to live, this album was fantastic.

9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Baby 81: Another great BRMC record. Finally getting to see them live this year just solidified my love of this band.

10. Of Montreal – Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer: Though you all (with the exception of Jay) hated this album. I love it love it love it.

If Radiohead is not included then everyone would move up a spot and Bad Religion – New Maps of Hell would be in the 10-spot. For a band that's been around for almost 30 years...they still put out a great punk record.
