Top Ten of 2007

1. The Snake The Cross The Crown Cotton Teeth

• A pleasant surprise that still gets better every time I listen to it.

2.Dirty Sweet Of Monarchs and Beggars

• If only more bands would just put their head down and rock.

3. Two Cow Garage III

• Best show of the year and surprising additions of extra musicians stole nothing away from their sound.

4. Manic Street Preachers Save the Tigers

• Rarely does a band say they are going back to the beginning and then actually pull it off. A cd that lets you remember that there is a guitarist in the band and he’s still a bit pissed off.

5. Ginger Yoni

• A Wildhearts and a solo cd from my favortite living front man. One was good but this was great. Pop, power chords and even a swing tune no less.

6. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Baby 81

• T Rexish at times but just a good straight ahead rock cd.

7. Against Me! New Wave

• The singer growls and is pissed off and the guitars follow his lead.

8. Sloan Never Hear the End of It

• Sure only half the songs on this cd are really good and the other half are okay but then again there are 30 songs on the disc. With a little self-editing they made a great pop cd another good return to form cd.

9. Waysted Harsh Reality

• A guilty pleasure from Pete Way's spin off band that features the guy who sang the theme to The Office (English version)

10.Wildbirds Golden Daze

• Another new band with a killer single who seem to be getting some well-deserved notice.
