Cactus Cafe Top Ten Albums 2007

you know what, soundtracks are allowed if the majority of it is new material. no "forrest gump" like soundtracks.

Once and Dan in Real Life are allowed.

[C-Man]

Can you rank 'In Rainbows' 1 and 2 separately?

 

[Mack Tripper]

In Rainbows should probably be ranked just once for both discs, at least IMO.

 

[Bottlecap]

^
Agree

 

[jadedscenester]

man, i don't know...if anything i'd expect that to bring down its ranking, because you're saddling the original disc with what essentially are its b-sides...i think if you want to rank disc 2, you should be able to.

 

[Bottlecap]

Have you actually HEARD disc 2? Its ******* nasty. Its not bringin down shite.

 

[C-Man]

No love for the Arctic Monkeys' sophomore effort? Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, who I generally like, gave 'Favourite Worst Nightmare" 4-1/2 stars. I haven't bought that much new stuff this year, sort of trying to pick up some older faves on here like Neutral Milk Hotel and Midlake, and I never got around to tracking it down. I kind of tired of their first album but liked it initially.

BTW, another interesting "2007" list/thread might be your top five that you discovered in 2007. In other words, it can't have been released in '07. Tops on my list would probably be Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea."

 

[EDGAAA]

i've appreciated your sig all year long and doubly appreciate Menomena.

You've also listed Our Love to Admire which is admirable

I haven't posted my list because I'm still listening to music...

download The Con from Tegan and Sara, while you're ate it get you some Pinback "Good to Sea" and "Nothing to Nowhere"

 

[Phil Hellmuth]

Menomena definitely has some of my favorite songs of the year. I have not yet given the whole album a listen.

 

[huge]

All my Friends is def my #1 song of the year.

and paper planes rocks, but i dont have that album. i hear it on sirius. have you heard the diplo remix? pretty good stuff
