Curious as to what would constitute the good folks of GD's top 10 albums of 2007. That being, albums that were released in 2007. Posting this here because I'm interested in the tastes of folks who post in this forum. Here's my list:

10. Feist - The Reminder


9. Rahsaan Patterson - Wines & Spirits


8. Shape of Broad Minds - Craft of the Lost Art


7. The White Stripes - Icky Thump


6. El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead


5. Jill Scott - The Real Thing/Words and Music Vol. 3


4. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible


3. M.I.A. - Kala


2. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver


1. Radiohead - In Rainbows

Still haven't heard the Rahsaan album, but have heard good things about it.

For anyone into R&B here's a good top 10 of that genre for 2007:

Nice reference. I've heard a lot of good stuff about Chaka's album and still haven't gotten it yet. I think this article kinda cements it for me. It's probably going to be next on the list of purchases.

Rahsaan's joint is the truth. Seriously...

Nice list, Jess.

'Finding Forever' just missed my top 10. And I've been curious about 'The MixUp' so I'm sure I'll be getting that soon. And maybe 2008 is the year that I should finally get over my aversion to all things Kanye...

Justice-Cross

Are U fuckin' kidding me?

For me to legitimally listen to a bunch of albums & then compare em up against the rest of the music of 2007,
all so that I can limit 'em down to a top ten "best of" list means more time & energy than I'm able to (or would even want to) commit to.
I mean, that's valuable time that I could be spending here on the org, with all you good people.
So, I'm sorry,
but I cannot participate in this thread.
Fuck this,
fuck the lists,
& fuck you guys.



Oh,
& Merry Christmas.
