Fun Stuff > BAND
Is it too early to start doing top records of 2007 lists?

seconded. Also judging from jeph's constant orgasming, Daft Punk's Alive 2007, though my copy is still in the mail.
As for In Rainbows, the second disc, to me, rivals the first in quality and if Radiohead was (were?) really as cool as people like to think they would've released it the same way disc 1 was released. I do love "Down is the new up" as well as "Bangers and Mash" which is just fun.

--- Quote from: Kid van Pervert on 10 Dec 2007, 14:34 ---Alright people, I have a question. Somebody just told me that Justice's Cross is the best album of 2007. Surely, it's a fun enough album, but there have been better albums just in the electronic category out this year. What album can I use in retort to shame him? help me QC forums I need to look cool.
I will formulate a personal best of list for this year, but it probably won't be as pretty as any of yours.

The best way to shame him is to go "oh, I keep confusing Justice for Digitalism and Boys Noize and Simian Mobile Disco BECAUSE THEY ALL SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME."
Alternately, you can just remind him of that fucking Uffie track and he will burst into tears.
† is indeed a very good album, but I'd rank Gabriel Ananda's Bambusbeats or the Field album over them.
JimmyJazz:
Man, I totally forgot about Grinderman. A rather superb side-project for Nick Cave, hearing him play guitar on the is a rare pleasure.
KvP:
Thanks all. I told off his unibrow-having gay ass, imparted him with some knowledge. He'll think twice next time he feels the desire to voice an opinion.
1. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
2. Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay Friends
3. Menomena – Friend & Foe
4. Holy Fuck - Holy Fuck LP
5. The Tuss - Rushup Edge (I'm including here the more melodious unreleased tracks from the myspace page. Sue me)
6. Okkervil River - The Stage Names
7. Little Brother - Get Back
8. High on Fire – Death in this Communion
9. Nina Nastasia & Jim White - You Follow Me
10. Radiohead - In Rainbows
Obviously, pretty heavy on the stuff I've been given through this board. And In Rainbows is a placeholder. It's good and all, but all I need is another something to grab me and it's out.
MobyDickhole:
1. Efterklang- Parades
I love this album. Everytime I think I can describe it I listen to it again and discover how incorrect my description is
2. Holy Fuck-LP
I saw that someone else said it beat +... SOOO true. Justice has nothing on these guys. NOTHING.
3. Apparat- Walls
I sent out a message to everyone I knew when I found this album. I was probably unable to speak for a couple hours as well.
4. Explosions in the Sky- All of a Sudden I miss Everybody
You know, I can't really tell one Explosions in the Sky album from the other, but they are so damn good.
5. Menomena- Friend and Foe
If their music doesn't sell you on their act, their sense of fun will.
6. Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam
Animal Collective put out one of the most challenging records of the year but holy shit is it good.
7. Battles- Mirrored
What can you say about Battles except WOW. I wasn't convinced on this album until I saw their live act. After that I was sold.
8. Radiohead- In Rainbows
They're radiohead. What can I say that the fanboys haven't already?
9. Do Make Say Think- You, You're History in Rust
I haven't listened to this album as much as I feel I should have this year, but it is REALLY freaking good.
10. Beastie Boys- The Mix Up
Yes. The Beastie Boys made my top 10. Not necessarily because this album was WAY better than the other stuff to come out this year, but ecause it BLEW my expectations out of the water. ... maybe it's cuz i just started listening to this album, but it is really good, If you haven't given this one a chance, do yourself a favor and download it immediatly.
(this is not necessarily my list for the best of '07, just the ones I enjoyed the most)
Other Favorite albums of the year:
of Montreal/The Field/ The New Pornographers/Jens Lekman/ Stars/ Architechture in Helsinki/ The National/ Okkervil River/ Prints/ Stars of The Lid/ Blackfield/
Apples in stereo/ Eisley/ Shout Out Louds/ Immaculate machines/ Laura Veirs/ Northern State/ Sigur Ros/ pg.lost/ The Rumble Strips/ A LOT MORE
Song Suggestion:
If you haven't heard the song Clouds by 'The Rumble Strips', I suggest you change that.
Favorite Find of the Year:
They didn't release anything this year, but my favorite find of the year is 'Detektivbyran'...
If you haven't heard them, imagine if a music box could play itself. Now imagine that music orchestrated and you have a good feel for the band. I have not met anyone who hasn't been floored by them.
