Here's my picks for the top 10 albums of 2007 for you to agree/disagree with at your leisure. Selections were chosen using a secret formula based on an album's "objective goodness," originality, number of times listened to, and...who am I kidding, I just wrote down the first 10 I could remember.
In no particular order:
1. Okkervil River/The Stage Names 2. Menomena/Friend and Foe 3. Band of Horses/Cease to Begin 4. Of Montreal/Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? 5. Tegan & Sara/The Con 6. The National/Boxer 7. Jens Lekman/Night Falls Over Kortedala 8. Stars/In Our Bedroom After the War 9. Iron & Wine/The Shepherd's Dog 10. The Honeydrips/Here Comes the Future
I feel a little conflicted about this list. With one notable exception (the Honeydrips), there are no surprises here - these are all albums by already-proclaimed favorites of mine. Although I heard plenty of new acts in 2007, none of their albums really spoke to me like these did. Maybe I'm just getting old...
Happy New Year!
