2007 Top 14
Top 14 of 2007
Forget all about top 10 lists, those are lame. Top 14 is where it’s at baby. |
01 The Avett Bros
Emotionalism
I wish I was an Avett brother. I also with I was Steve McQueen |
02 Band of Horses
Cease to Begin
Favorite line: “running a blender in a thunderstorm” |
03 The National
Boxer
This album took me quite a while to really sink in, but once it did it grabbed me by the collar and shoot me around. |
04 Wilco
Sky Blue Sky
Jeff Tweedy just keeps making great records. |
05 Spoon
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
There are some outstanding songs to dive to with the windows down on this record. |
06 Beastie Boys
The Mix Up
The whole thing is instrumental, ’nuff said |
07 Bettye Lavette
Scene Of The Crime
It’s a shame that it’s taken 30 years for the industry to finally support her |
08 Earl Greyhound
Soft Targets
Black Sabbath meets Sly Stone |
09 Iron & Wine
The Shepherd’s Dog
Just when I thought Sam Beam couldn’t get better, he adds a full band. |
10 Romantica
America
Lush americana from Minneapolis & Belfast, IRL |
11 The Gourds
Heavy Ornamentals
Why did it take me so many years to discover these guys? |
12 Willie Nelson
songbird
Produced by Ryan Adams, it’s the best work either of them have done in quite some time. Even has a Gram Parsons cover on it! |
13 Bright Eyes
Cassadaga
Worth buying for the first two minutes of “four winds” |
14 Amy Winehouse
Back to Black
I love and hate her like Shane McGowan of The Pogues |
