Great list for 2007 - thanks!.... Anyway, how's the list for 2008 shaping up? I have a contender for you. Dieter Schöön's album Lablaza. It's being given a release this year outside of Sweden which is where Dieter is from. I am totally overwhelmed by it and thought you might enjoy it too. Here's the link to his myspace: www.myspace.com/dieterschoon & if you like those songs let me know if you want a link to the album. All the best, Carl p.s best song of 2007, Everybody's Got Their Own Part To Play - Shannon Wright?

not that i'm complaining about the list..but it does seem pretty predictable. no black lips?! c'mon..everyone needs some really good raw garage or even a more rock/metal album would have been awesome to see on here.

Good work, team! This is exactly the same list I would have come up with, if I were trying to parody indie music blogging. You "spent the last twelve months listening to records" and "going to live performances," but perhaps you should have skipped the "reading music journalism" part.

I really liked the albums by Scrofula, Sharkmother, and Shitake Shitsu.

My favorites of this year included new releases by Kinski, Mofro, Pelican, and Wooden Shjips

Most people are putting Radiohead on their lists because they made a really good album this year. Just an idea.

notable omissions: studio, 'yearbook 1' no age, 'weirdo rippers' liars, 'liars' also it quite seems that people are putting radiohead on their lists simply because ZOMG ITS RADIOHEADDD. but not you guys, no way. ;)

Good call with the National. And thank you for not being an ass and bashing Radiohead for "not living up to expectations" like I hear half-fans moaning about all the time.

What?! ___________ stinks! I can't believe you didn't include __________ on the list! Let the second guessing of a person's opinion begin.
