KevinG Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 nah that's cool just surprised based on the reactions it's gotten elsewhere that i frequent =) Solace you just gotta stop visiting those weird back alley boards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Finally found time to do this. 1. The National - Boxer (When I heard this album, I bought the entire back catalog.)2. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (My love for this band has grown exponentially this year.)3. Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (You Are My Face, Impossible Germany and Hate It Here are absolutely perfect.)4. Radiohead - In Rainbows (Like a lot of you, I listened to it non-stop that first week.)5. Dr. Dog - We All Belong (I bought this album because of good reviews on VC. I didn't like it at first. That opinion has changed considerably.) A few others I think will stay with me well beyond 2007: Andrew Bird - Armchair ApocryphaArcade Fire - Neon BibleFeist - The ReminderJosh Ritter - The Historical Conquests ...Menomena - Friend and FoeModest Mouse - We Were Dead ...Rilo Kiley - Under the BlacklightRyan Adams - Easy TigerThe Shins - Wincing The Night Away Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hype Repellent Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The Search was just an OK album for me... not even remotely as great as Okemah Agreed. Couple really good songs though. Okemah was more cohesive and any album that opens with "bandages and scars" is going to be a winner. hahahaha totally gave yourself away dude I knew that when I wrote it.

Pizatton Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'll keep it to a trim 10. 10. Modest Mouse- We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank9. Daft Punk- Alive 20078. Sunset Rubdown- Random Spirit Lover7. Wilco- Sky Blue sky6. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah- Some Loud Thunder (I almost thought this was a 2006 release, but it squeaks in on January 29th)5. Deerhunter- Cryptograms (Another January 29th release!)4. Radiohead- In Rainbows3. Le Loup- The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly (despite the obnoxiously long album title)2. Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam1. Panda Bear- Person Pitch (This would be #1 on a list of the last 5 years) Obviously, I listened to alot of Animal Collective this year, I couldn't help it I just became addicted to them. As for HM: Beirut, Efterklang, Iron and Wine, White Rabbits, Do Make Say Think, Andrew Bird, Akron/Family and Kanye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have to say that the Bon Iver album blows me away. Thanks for bringing that album to the forefront here Solace.
