They ARE the best . . for a number of reasons. 😀 I've said this before: they are growing steadily with a very strong community. I'm sure the patron to subscriber ratio is much higher than average.
Going to cheat here. Big time. For the umpteenth year I can't find much I was listening to, so I'm going to pick a song from a gig I saw in December of 2007. A live album was released some years later which doesn't quite work for this format, but hey, it was a special gig. Me and a friend managed to bag two tickets from a worldwide lottery that became the biggest show in town. The O2 in London to be precise, where 20,000 lucky winners, from across the globe got to see,for the final time, Led Zeppelin. According to Guinness World Records 2009, the concert holds the world record for the "Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert" as 20 million requests for the reunion show were rendered online. We were lucky. 🍀 They agreed to play this one off reunion in tribute to co-founder of Atlantic records, Ahmet Ertegun, who had passed away back in 2006. There was a lot of apprehension leading up to the concert, in particular, would Plant still be able to hit those notes and could Jason Bonham fill that drum space left behind by his father. Affirmative to both. Though Plant made it pretty clear that any tour of the band in the future was never going to happen. I was fortunate as a spotty faced, long haired sixteen year old, to see them perform at Knebworth back in 1979, but after the death of John Bonham and the band calling it quits I, like many others, never thought I'd see their like again. But for two glorious hours on that barmy night me and 20,000 other Zep fans relived the music, the songs and the memories of one of, if not, the greatest, band ever Oh, SOTY. Not that it matters really, I just wanted to reminisce, but I'll give it to Kashmir, 2007 live version. ✌️ PS just checked out Feist for the first time. Superb. Thanks 👍

Surprisingly strong year. My extended playlist is 38 songs. Tough fight for the those final spots on the lists. 2007 Hot 100 1. Read My Mind - Killers 2. You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse 3. Smile - Lily Allen 4. Dashboard - Modest Mouse 5. Icky Thump - White Stripes 2007 Wildcards 1. United States - Smashing Pumpkins 2. No I In Threesome - Interpol 3. Daddy's Gone - Glasvegas 4.

5. Electric Feel: MGMT 4. Don’t Make me a Target: Spoon 3. Fluorescent Adolescent: Arctic Monkeys 2. Sleeping Lessons: The Shins 1. For Reverend Green: Animal Collective Pretty easy to tell what song I’m voting for this week. ( Honorable mention Take Pills: Panda Bear)

BILLBOARD 1. *Dashboard by Modest Mouse #61* (Neglected to include this originally purely on oversight. Solid Talking Heads-esque post-punk revival, which is choice as far as the charts go.) 2. *All Good Things (Must Come to an End) by Nelly Furtado #86* (Going for more a melancholic pop approach here. That main melodic turn is among the best stuff squeaking into the hot 100.) 3. *Read My Mind by The Killers #62* (Churn out another solid single wearing their influences on their sleeve.) 4. *Flashing Lights by Kanye West #29* (That trance-esque synth beat is very cool, and it all comes together well into one of the best pop rap singles this side of Outkast. Closes the chapter on my preferred Kanye era.) 5. *Phantom Limb by The Shins #86* (Not necessarily any better than a lot of their stuff from the decade, but it got enough play to find itself here. I'll take it.) WILDCARD 1. WINNER: *The Underdog by Spoon* (Catchy pop/rock with a melody that, at its core, sounds like it comes straight from late 70s Billy Joel, yet even better?) 2. *Neon Bible by Arcade Fire* (Short, sweet, and hits on the chamber pop elements that I love from the record for the same name.) 3. *Time to Pretend by MGMT* (Killer indie anthem. I forget how noisy it is, and then there's that synth hook.) 4. *Jigsaw Falling into Place by Radiohead* (More high-level art rock. I like the touch with the acoustic guitar that recalls more their 90s stuff.) 5. *Long Nights by Eddie Vedder* (Could have gone with a few tracks off the Into the Wild soundtrack, but this one left the biggest impression this time around.) Top 10 Wildcard HM: Reckoner by Radiohead No Cars Go by Arcade Fire Violet Stars Happy Hunting!!! by Janelle Monáe Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys Slow Show by The National Billboard is getting quite awful in places, but some less huge and far more palatable cuts did manage to sneak in. On the wildcard side, lots to like with competition that might be the strongest of the decade. Worst TOP 40: Cyclone by Baby Bash featuring T-Pain #7 (We're really starting getting into the stuff I find just terrible now. The chorus in particular is quite repulsive. I've never liked aggressive autotune for effect either, so T-Pain's elements only compounds things.) Worst Runner Up: Better Than Me by Hinder #31 Sexual Eruption by Snoop Dogg #7

Good evening Guys! Not too excited about 2007. My SOTY is solid though.. Here are my picks: SOTY - Back to Black - Amy Winehouse Then I have: It Means Nothing - Stereophonics Your Love Is Not Enough - Manic Street Preachers ft Nina Persson Goodbye Mr A - The Hoosiers Suburban Knights - Hard Fi Brianstorm - The Arctic Monkeys Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors - Editors On Call - Kings of Leon It’s Not Over Yet - Klaxons How to Save a Life - The Frey Cheers! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Hi Lou, we have several shared artists but no shared songs this week. I consider Pull The Pin to be one of Stereophonics’ weaker albums, so they are only a HM for me this time. I still like most of your choices though. 😃
@@bryanbyrde8338 hey Bryan, hope you’re well. I know what you mean about Pull the Pin, not a favourite of mine either but I am a bit of a sucker for a Stereophonics “soppy song”! I’ve been working on my lists for the 2010s and I’m struggling big time to fill them. we’ve had this discussion before; by the time the 2010s came along I was busy with family etc and music was put in the back burner 😬 there may have to be duplicate songs from trusted artists!! Having said that I’m excited that Suede got back together in 2013 so they’ll be heavily involved I’m sure! Have a great weekend, the weathers looking good 👍🏻
@@lubilou64 Thanks Lou, I hope your weekend is fabulous my friend, and hopefully the weather matches! 😀 Yes, the last 15 years of this series will definitely be the toughest, particularly with trying to find 5 Billboard hits I like from each year. Some very interesting choices lie ahead 🤣 I know you are a big fan of Suede’s music. I liked a few of their singles but they weren’t ever among my favourites previously. I will definitely be checking out their later work, though - 2013 might end up being one of the best years from the 2010s. Stereophonics will definitely be appearing that year for me as well. Take care and speak soon 👍
My 2007 top : 1. Marissa Nadler - Silvia 2. M.I.A. - Paper Planes 3. Keren Ann - Lay Your Head Down 4. Liars - Plaster Casts of Everything 5. RIEN - Se Repulen 6. Radiohead - 15 Steps 7. Scout Niblett - Kiss 8. Jesse Sykes - LLL 9. The December Sound - Never 10. Okkervil River - For Real I voted for the Wilco pick in the SOTY contest, lovely pick Jason 👍
“Challengers” is my second favorite New Pornographers song. It was great seeing it in Kramzer’s list. It’s just a beautiful masterpiece… 2007 is a killer year for me. One of my favorite of that decade. Narrowing it down to only 5 songs was really, really tough: 5) Bon Iver - “For Emma” 4) PJ Harvey - “The Piano” 3) The New Pornographers - “Challengers” 2) The National - “Mistaken for Strangers” 1) Porcupine Tree - “Anesthetize” (a strong contender for my favorite song of all time)
Great show guys, thank you. CHARTS: 5 Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls 4 Playaz Circle, Lil Wayne - Duffle Bag Boy 3 Britney Spears - Gimme More 2 Kanye West - Flashing Lights 1 Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good PICKS: 5 Battles - Race: In 4 Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver 3 Eric Roberson - Right or Wrong 2 Electric Soft Parade - If That's The Case, Then I Don't Know 1 Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson - Valerie [Version Revisited] (SOTY)

Society- Eddie vedder 6. Make it wit u - queens of the Stone Age 7. All cleaned out - Elliott smith 8. You know my name - Chris Cornell 9. I taught myself how to grow old - Ryan Adams 10.

2007 had tons of very good song,but few truly great ones; 15 Step-Radiohead Almost Ready-Dinosaur Jr Atlas-Battles Can You Feel It-Apples in Stereo Dad's Gonna Kill Me-Richard Thompson Devils a Go-Go-Blitzen Trapper For Agent 13-Besnard Lakes Impossible Germany-Wilco Intervention-Arcade Fire Keep the Car Running-Arcade Fire Murderer-Low No Pussy Blues-Grinderman North American Scum-LCD Soundsystem Paper Planes-M.I.A. Phantom Limb-The Shins Please Read the Letter-Robert Plant/Allison Krauss Radio Nowhere-Bruce Springsteen Re:Stacks-Bon Iver Stay Tuned-Robert Wyatt The Underdog-Spoon Top 5; 5)What Light-Wilco(could be about Jeff Tweedy"making it" in the music biz,I just see it as a great song of positivity and affirmation) 4)Weird Fishes/Arpeggi-Radiohead(I think the jewel of In Rainbows,this is how I want Radiohead to sound-warm and deep) 3)2080-Yeasayer(Another great song about living your life to the fullest,this is just so catchy,yet proggy as well) 2)Love Bomb-Grinderman(Rock music occasionally needs some malice and Nick Cave's side project provides plenty of it) 1)This is All I Came to Do-Dinosaur Jr(Maybe just the best pure rock song I heard at the time,I played Beyond constantly when it came out,this was my favorite track. Still love it today)
Hey Paul, right! We do share many picks! That's cool. Even Stay Tuned, awesome choice, I think only us listed it. Will be checking out your lists,. Cheers!
Billboard classifies 2007 as the last year of the rock era (1955-2007). And if you look at the pop charts, after this point, we are definitely out of the rock era. We were seeing a slip in the late-90s and a brief comeback in the early-to-mid-2000s but now rock is really going to slide in mainstream popularity. Very few actual rock songs start to chart in the Top 100 starting in 2008 onward. Still, there is plenty of good Hot 100 songs (early 2010s is a great period for pop) and there is tons of great albums released in the 2010s.
Wild Card 01 Sky Blue Sky - Wilco 02 Crumble - Dinosaur Jr. 03 Angel In The Snow - Elliott Smith 04 Time To Pretend - MGMT 05 Hot Knives - Bright Eyes US Top 100 01 Icky Thump - The White Stripes 02 Dashboard - Modest Mouse 03 Survivalism - Nine Inch Nails 04 Dance Tonight - Paul McCartney 05 Phantom Limb - The Shins Honorable Mention Space Maker - AIR Autumnsong - Manic Street Preachers Show Your Hand - Super Furry Animals Partly Cloudy - Izzy Stradlin Worst Song With You - Chris Brown
Good year for tunes, for sure. 1. Titus Andronicus - Titus Andronicus. Who knew a song whose chorus is "Your life is over" a bunch of times could be so joyous and uplifting. 2. The Underdog - Spoon. Speaking of uplifting, Spoon breaks out a horn section for this bundle of joy. 3. Mistaken For Strangers - The National. Boxer is definitely when the National enters their more dour phase, but this tune rocks pretty hard. 4. A Girl in Port - Okkervil River. Will Sheff, underrated lyricist of the 2000s. 5. All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem. Cool Dad Electronica from James Murphy. 6. The Past is a Grotesque Animal - Of Montreal. This psychedelic dance track is something else. 7. Boy With a Coin - Iron & Wine. Very cool acoustic guitar work on this track. 8. Skinny Love - Bon Iver. Still Bon Iver's best tune 9. Stronger - Kanye West. Kanye takes a Daft Punk sample to new heights. 10. 1,2,3,4 - Feist. Great breakout pop tune from Leslie Feist.
In retrospect, I should've saved "Titus Andronicus" for 2008 when the album dropped (it got a single release in 2007) and added Ryan Adams' "Halloweenhead", which I totally forgot about. 2008 definitely a weaker year.
My Top 10 1. SILVERCHAIR "Waiting All Day" 2. RADIOHEAD "Nude" 3. FOO FIGHTERS "Long Road to Ruin" 4. PORCUPINE TREE "Anesthetize" 5. NINE INCH NAILS " Me I'm Not" 6. QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE 'Make It Wit Chu" 7. CLAWFINGER "The Price We Pay' 8. SILVERCHAIR "Reflections of a Sound" 9. HIM " The Kiss of Down" 10. DREAM THEATER " Constant Motion" Greetings from Asturias ( still on vacations)
Song of the year Anesthetize - Porcupine Tree Runners up Don't Stop the Music - Rihanna Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs The Pretender - Foo Fighters Valerie - Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse
Hot 100: - The Shins - Phantom Limb - Paramore - Misery Business - Kelly Clarkson - Never Again - Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Umbrella - The Killers - Read My Mind Wildcards: - Arcade Fire - Ocean of Noise - The National - Slow Show - MGMT - Electric Feel - Joel Plaskett Emergency - Drunk Teenagers Worst: There were so many contenders this year, part of why I avoided top 40 music at this time. I'm going with "Lip Gloss" by Lil Mama because there is pretty well no song to this, when I heard it my jaw dropped because of how terrible it is. I don't know why anyone would have ever wanted to listen to it, let alone take it to the top 40. First: This is a song I have been in love with from the moment I first heard it. It's a cover but it's a great one - "Through the Morning, Through the Night" by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. This song kicked off a multi year search for me to find the Dillard and Clark album it came from, back in 2007 I couldn't find it anywhere not even online. I've finally got ahold of the album in the years since but I still love this version as much as, if not more than, the original. Everything about it is just gorgeous.
Ten 2007 favez: Friday Night at the Drive-in Bingo - Jens Lekman 2080 - Yeasayer Postcards From Italy - Beirut Kingdoms of Rain - Soulsavers w Mark Lanegan The Mending of the Gown - Sunset Rubdown Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe - Okkervil River Slow Show - The National Good Morning - Kanye West Impossible Germany - Wilco Terry's Song - Bruce Springsteen

I just noticed that some of my picks seem to foreshadow some of the Listographies that come in the next weeks... HM - Public Enemy - Harder Than You Think, Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent, Graham Parker - I Discovered America, Fountains of Wayne - Someone to Love, Siouxsie - Into a Swan 5. NIN - Capital G (Trent Reznor's political album was as angry as the subject makes you expect.) 4. PJ Harvey - The Piano (One of the great songs on White Chalk - there are some but not enough.) 3. Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring (What a difference one man can make - file under Robert Fripp.) 2. Neil Young - Ordinary People (Neil's song of the decade was an 18 minutes epic born back in 1988 with not just his guitar showing off but also blue note horns and extraordinary piano, not one second is boring.) 1. Björk - Wanderlust (album version) (The fact that this masterpiece inspired a generation of nitwits to try the same does not harm the marvellousness of the original.)
1. Keep the car running - Arcade Fire 2. Underwater (you and me) - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah 3. Strange Lights - Deerhunter 4. Livin' in the Future - Bruce Springsteen 5. Phantom limb - The Shins 6. Is there a ghost - Band of Horses 7. Dashboard - Modest Mouse 8. Mer du Japon - Air 9. All my friends - LCD Soundsystem 10. The Underdog - Spoon
Happy Friday Dears! 2007… My 30s were clawing at the door & changes were inevitable. Some I welcomed, others snuck in through the holes in my force field. Here’s the music that accompanied me. 1. Pace Is The Trick - Interpol 2. Atlantis To Interzone - Klaxons 3. Count In Fives - The Horrors 4. Black Mirror - Arcade Fire 5. Get Innocuous! - LCD Soundsystem 6. Mistaken For Strangers - The National 7. Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. - Ryan Adams 8. Bunny Ain’t No Kind Of Rider - of Montreal 9. House Of Cards - Radiohead 10. Going To A Town - Rufus Wainwright HM: Woman In The Window - Satellite Party
Hi Brent, It’s cool to have some artists in common. I love the video for No I In Threesome - especially when you can see each of the band members in the mirror. It’s beautifully done. Pace Is The Trick just carries more emotional weight with me. My 2nd favorite from that album is Mammoth. I love when Paul Banks uses the occasional expletive- he rarely does. Hope you’re having a great day. 😊
2007 was absolutely loaded for great albums. The best year since 1997 in that regard (‘In Rainbows’ was my AotY). But the US Billboard was extremely limited, which is why I share so many as these guys, plus a couple that wouldn’t even touch my wildcard list. 🏆Song of the Year: Welcome Home, Radical Face 🔥 Billboard: 1, 2, 3, 4, Feist Kids, MGMT Phantom Limb, The Shins Hey There Delilah, Plain White Ts Tarantula, Smashing Pumpkins 😎 Wildcard: Reckoner, Radiohead Turn on Me, The Shins What Light, Wilco The Underdog, Spoon 🤮 Worst: I want to F You, Akon
10)Dad's Gonna Kill Me -Richard Thompson 9)No Hidden Path -Neil Young 8)Stormy May Day -AC/DC 7)Been There All the TIme -Dinosaur Jr. 6)Burlap Sack & Pumps -Trey Anastacio 5)Catch Hell Blues -White Stripes 4)3's & 7's -Queens of the Stone Age 3)The Devil -PJ Harvey 2)Armor & Sword -Rush 1)Impossible Germany -Wilco
Incredibly tough choice for me between your three winners. I’m gonna have to go with “Either Way” even though it’s not on my list. Love “Reverend Green” but I have another song Animal Collective-related. 1. “Rhthm & Soul” - Spoon (my favorite Spoon song) 2. “Comfy In Nautica” - Panda Bear 3. “Side with the Seeds” - Wilco 4. “Dress Blues” - Jason Isbell (wasn’t expecting this from Jason. Great pick. First album I ever heard by him, although it wasn’t until a year later. Definitely one of his 5 greatest songs, but insane to say he hasn’t at least matched this song since.) 5. “Myriad Harbour” - The New Pornographers (Dan Bejar strikes again with the unofficial autobiography of the band) HM: “Atlas” - Battles, “Apartment Story” - The National, “Unless It’s Kicks” - Okkervil River, “Paper Planes” - M.I.A, “Past In Present” - Feist ✌🏻

So this is why no one picked Amy in the 06 SOTY clip. I was a year ahead. I pick Amy again. "No Pussy Blues" by Grinderman "That's Not My Name" - Ting Tings "A Punk" Vampire W'end "Keep the Car" and "No Cars Go'- Arcade Fire "Delivery" - Babyshambles "Hummer" F oals "End has a start" - Editors When I do my list I try to not name songs you already called.
Charted Song : Paul McCartney - Dance Tonight Wildcards : Brian Wilson - Midnight’s Another Day (favorite song) Caribou - Desiree Coral - Rebecca You and She’s Got A Reason PJ Harvey - Grow Grow Grow Iron And Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth The song « Tastes like music »: Animal Collective - For Reverend Green album by a ‘new’ act : Caribou - Andorra Least favorite song : Lil Wayne - I’m Me
For Reverend Green is my favorite song ever, so that's a pretty easy vote here. Probably my favorite year of music. Very deep with wild cards as I was at the height of my musical exploration and Pitchfork reading here. Worst song was easily Hey There Delilah. I have such a deep-seeded hatred for that tune that my friends will still play it to mess with me today. Trying to do a quick list and stick to one an artist: Animal Collective - For Reverend Green Of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place Dillinger Escape Plan - Milk Lizard Spoon - The Ghost of You Lingers Yeasayer - 2080 Fair To Midland - Dance of the Manatee (Attn: Joe) QOTSA - 3's & 7's Kanye - Can't Tell Me Nothing MIA - Paper Planes White Stripes - Icky Thump El-P - Up All Night Feist - 1234 Against Me! - Thrash Unreal Modest Mouse - Dashboard The National - Mistaken For Strangers Okkervil River - Our Life is a Movie Maybe Bright Eyes - Hot Knives and so on...
There's a legit argument that this is one of the greatest years ever. (At least post-2000). I think the last time I had so many HMs was 1990. Certainly a vast improvement over the late 90's/early 00's. I've already given my opinion on Pitchfork - not good. For whatever reason I never got into Animal Collective - Sorry Kram!
Two very strong songs of the year with Wilco and Shins. Not much else mentioned I liked except for New Pornographers, Amy Winehouse, Jason Isbell and the Killers. For me the song of the year was easily Fountains of Wayne "Someone to Love" which for me remains their greatest ever song far eclipsing "Stacy's Mom". Another one of their great 3 minute pop song melodies married to a tragic-humorous story about finding love in the 2000's. I had to laugh when I heard Jason's worst song of the year as he said out loud exactly what I've been thinking about Brad Paisley for a long time. I have seen him live and I would go again just to see him play guitar. He really would be better off using outside songwriters or maybe better yet record some cover songs and make them his own.
Joe, I came so close to picking your choice, but in the end, I had to go with Kramzer again. I just have a thing for trippy music and the Shins sound tame in comparison. Wilco wasn't even in the running (of course). Don't worry buddy, I'm sure we'll get there again one day. :P
2007 was an action packed year for great music. All three of your selections for song of the year are great. After watching Joe's picks leading up to it, The Shins was a shock. I didn't see that coming having never heard any of his other choices. Radiohead/LCD Soundsystem/The Shins/Animal Collective etc. get nice shoutouts on the video so I will throw out six 2007 favorites from acts the channel doesn't have any time for. Ed Kuepper - That Depends Pt 3 After a 7 year break Kuepper was back. Singing "here she comes that friend of mine" is old Saints compatriot the late Chris Bailey. A powerful, intense get-together for the old frenemies. David Kilgour - Out Of The Moment Clean frontman with his best solo album to date. This closing 7 minute instrumental evokes the old west with just enough psychedelic touches to keep it Kilgour. Glenn Mercer - Whatever Happened First solo album by The Feelies co-frontman. And features all the main Feelies players except Bill Million. Maybe singing "What are we fighting for? What's it all about?" worked as four years later we get the first Feelies release in 20 years. This song would fit comfortably in the Feelies catalog. The Good, The Bad, And The Queen - 80s Life Damon Albarn brings together Paul Simonon from the Clash & the late Tony Allen from Fela Kuti's band. The whole album is wonderful. And this song, from its piano tapping intro to wheezy ending is bliss. The Go! Team - Grip Like Vice The follow-up to The Go! Team's near perfect debut. And while the whole album didn't have the same power, the lead-off track Grip Like Vice has all the fun, exuberance and energy we love from the Team! A throw-back to classic 80s hip-hop revved up for 2007 The Fall - Reformation I don't think I can wring much more from the Fall after 2007 (well maybe a little), but this track deserves attention. The American musicians that Smith had recruited, after being abandoned by the previous line-up mid-tour, power through this bass heavy diss of the previous Fall collective and make something perfect for Smith to bark over. "This is what it'll sound like for a reformation." Animal Collective gets my vote. This ones for Reverend Green!
The Fall album made it into my top 10 (#9) of the AOTY and they were not yet done for me with their 30th++ album. I still have some candidates for future SOTY lists from them. Also Ed Kuepper will appear in a later year on my list. I noticed that I miss the 2007 album in my collection - I need to check it. PS - Tony Allen's 2017 The Source was my AOTY, but Secret Agent (2009) and Film of Life (2014) are also very strong albums from him (the 2021 posthumous release is something to avoid).
@@painless465 Glenn Mercer is doing a nearby gig, in July, with Richard Batrone (of The Bongos) and some other Feelies. It's a night of Glam era covers. Don't know where y'all live, but it's in Marlboro, NY on July 2.

Hi Naughty! Thanks, we do have a few in common. I checked out some of your stuff. How could I have missed that awesome Imperial Teen song I discovered thanks to you? And The Apples In Stereo and Sophe Lux tunes are great, never heard them before. I was about to choose I'll Work For Your Love as my Springsteen's pick, have a soft spot for the tune since it came out. Take care my friend!
GREAT stuff as always, Fran... I would say there's three glaring omissions: MENOMENA (The entire "Friend and Foe" albums is genius), THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS, and CLOUD CULT "The Meaning of 8" (a heartbreaking and ultimately redemptive album about unimaginable loss. The main songwriter and his wife lost their child. ...and this album is just an emotional and beautiful roller coaster of emotions. They also touched on this subject on their previous album, but this one really hit me.) Cheers!
Hi John! I'm quite familiar with The New Pornographers, but for some reason I hardly listened to Challengers the album. But I do love Challengers the song and you're totally right, it should have made my list. Cloud Cult and Menomena I had never heard of them before, I checked them out and sound very promising, particularly Cloud Cult. I'll listen to them more. Thanks so much for discovering good music to me. Please keep pointing out my omissions. Cheers!

“Don’t You Evah” actually a cover of The Natural History song “Don’t You Ever” which was on the shelf for two years before they could self-release their album in 2007. 9 straight for the Bravos! ⚾️
@@TheDigitalGramophone The Mets are 4-4 on the west coast so the Braves are inching up .. Yankees had 4 straight chances to score the designated runner & walk off & never once sacrificed. Still won. Am going to see Wilco in September who oddly are supporting Brandi Carlisle 😕

I will check out the Type O Negative one - Lost track of them around this time (into Bloody Kisses/October Rust) . . Outside my wheelhouse but was considering giving Gamma Ray consideration at sometime . . There was something in their sound I liked. .
@@NaughtyVampireGod The TON album, Dead Again, has become my favorite over time. Definitely not Gamma Ray's best tune, but a good one. Almost went with "Into the Storm". It was a strong yr. all around.
@@independenceltd. This year it hurt me to keep Dropkick Murphys, Against Me!, Grinderman and Siouxsie out of the top 10. It was just that kind of year.

@@NaughtyVampireGod could have gone with '1234' or 'girls' for feist and bruce. close call. i like how peppy the matchbox song is. do you have a pick for best apples in stereo album?
@@cheapcinemachannel4548 Their magnum opus is New Magnetic Wonder (2007), but I'd start with their second album, Tone Soul Evolution (1996). The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone (2000) & Velocity of Sound (2002) are also great, but the first two I mentioned are essential.
(I ignore the Billboard. Any song released this year is eligible. One song per artist/band unless more than one album is released) 10) Queen B - Puscifer 09) No Pussy Blues - Grinderman 08) Ordinary People - Neil Young 07) Florescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys 06) Comfy in Nautica - Panda Bear 05) Videotape - Radiohead 04) Electric Feel - MGMT 03) Here Comes That Day - Siouxsie Sioux (would make an excellent Bond theme!) 02) Ex-Guru - The Fiery Furnaces (Widow City is magic!) 01) Icky Thump/Rag and Bone (tie) - The White Stripes
Pleasantly relieved that I am still finding some songs I really like on the UK charts for 2007. Saying that, this year did seem to be a little front-loaded with not many songs making my list from the later part of the year. The following acts get honourable mentions for having more than one song amongst the 49 on my long list with no entries in my top 10 - |The Klaxons (3 songs), Bloc Party, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys (4) and Hard-Fi. The Arctic Monkeys total is partly a reflection that downloads of tracks from big albums when they are released are starting to chart. Making my list are 2 songs each from 2 of my favourite albums of the 2000s, Back to Black by Amy Winehouse and Neon Bible by Arcade Fire. The title track from the former was a cert for my top 10 and there were 2 other songs from the album on my long list. I currently consider the latter marginally my no. 1 Arcade Fire album and another song from it made my long list. My most left-field choice this year is a dance cover of an Alanis Morissette song by the Freemasons with vocals by Bailey Tzuke, whose mother Judy made my list in 1979. I think the only other parent-child combo to make my lists so far are George and Matt Bellamy of the Tornadoes and Muse respectively. The combination of Bailey's vocals and the Freemason's almost Middle-Eastern creates a dance record that works in a car or on the radio as well as in a club. Meanwhile, The Manics return to my list after their hiatus, assisted by Nina Persson of Cardigans fame: Intervention - Arcade Fire Keep the Car Running - Arcade Fire The Pretender - Foo Fighters Uninvited - Freemasons ft Bailey Tzuke On Call - Kings of Leon All my Friends - LCD Soundsystem Your Love alone is not Enough - Manic Street Preachers ft Nina Persson Icky Thump - The White Stripes Back to Black - Amy Winehouse Tears Dry on their Own - Amy Winehouse

Hi. Nice list, Echos. As you said - we have some similar tastes. Honestly I am unfamiliar w many of these . . Will keep this open for further reference! 😀

2007 was excellent for Wildcards but finding 5 Billboard picks has now become my most difficult part of this process: Billboard Top 100: First Time - Lifehouse Teardrops On My Guiter - Taylor Swift Dig - Incubus The Pretender - Foo Fighters Wildcards: Golden Skans - Klaxons Shine - Take That 505 - Arctic Monkeys Fear Of A Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree Sloe Gin - Joe Bonamassa Worst song: Rockstar - Nickelback (Kramzer is totally right about this one. I don’t usually like to pick on easy targets but these jerks deserve it) Song of the Year: Read My Mind - The Killers (A beautifully melodic song, performed with passion and musical integrity. This represents everything that Nickelback will never be) HMs: Weapon Of Choice - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Around The Bend - Joe Bonamassa Fans - Kings Of Leon Please Read The Letter - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Sentimental - Porcupine Tree Jigsaw Falling Into Place - Radiohead The Way The Wind Blows - Rush My Friends - Stereophonics Beauty Of Uncertainty - KT Tunstall You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told) - White Stripes
Greetings Bryan! Hope you had a good week. We match with Read My Mind and Sentimental this time around. A couple of great songs. Also, I'd never heard Fans until this week, but I thought it was one of the best tracks on that KOL album. Will give a listen to the songs I don't know. Hopefully I'm able to get feedback to you relatively soon!
Hello Bryan - Happy to hear that you enjoyed the Jubilee last weekend. My UK friends have a lot to be proud of . . . and after the last few years we all deserve a big party. Sry for not getting back to you sooner and thanks again for the comments. Looking forward to your Porcupine Tree rankings in a few weeks if you are in for the deep dive. BTW, I hope to finalize 2006 THIS weekend and will naturally give you a heads-up. 😀 There's a few from your list I will have to check out incl BRMC,Joe Bonamassa, and Take That. As i think i mentioned to Brent or Lou, the Killers will be on my 2006 list. Later . .
Hi Bryan. Of the songs I hadn't heard, Please Read The Letter was my favorite. A very close second place went to You Don't Know What Love Is. I think I like Taylor Swift's pop music more than her country songs, but I did enjoy Teardrops On My Guitar. First Time is a Lifehouse song I'd forgotten and as usual from them, a solid tune. Was aware of Joe Bonamassa by name only. Around The Bend was to my liking. Enjoyed listening to your picks, Bryan. Hope it will be a great weekend for you!

The Crash Motive - Not Giving Up. I really like the song. They changed their name from a few years earlier and were on a couple of soundtracks and the singer left the next year which probably hurt them but the song should have been a bigger hit. Its just a fun pop rock song.
I’m happy to have caught this if only for Jason’s incredible take on the song Online by Brad Paisley. It sounds laughably terrible which would be a massive improvement over the legitimately horrible Rockstar by Nickelback. Thanks guys.

My favorite track of the year is Straight Lines by Silverchair. Quirky and very uplifting at the same time. I will die on the hill that Rock Star is not a bad song - it's hooky and the lyrics are all tongue-and-cheek and are pretty good for them. Don't mind it. Surprised Icky Thump didn't make anyone's list.
"Dress Blues" is a great choice for song of the year. But "Mountain" by Cowboy Junkies is better. Their album "at the end of paths Taken" is fantastic.

See Below Worst Song- This Is Why I'm Hot- Mims- I generally don't love braggy songs, but one of the better worst songs of the year. Song of the Year- She Called Up- Crowded House- Really catchy song for group probably counted on to be past their peak. Neil Finn is really talented at writing a hooky song.
@@NaughtyVampireGod Hope I didn't oversell it and you're disappointed. the video that goes with the song is adorable, maybe that memory influenced me a bit. I love Crowded House though!
@@adamhasideas6813 Hey Adam - it's a good song/video. Never heard it before. They certainly haven't strayed much from their classic sound. 😀 Split Enz/Crowded House are a part of my 80's soundtrack, although I must admit i am probably no more than a casual fan. I don't believe they ever got a song on any top 10 list of mine. Several HM's though . . Picking your top songs is a personal thing - or sholud be. Bubbly is a nice pop song. There seems to have a number of those "just chillin out on vacation" videos at around this time. Am I thinking about that Jason Mraz song? Yes, I am. 🙂
Strawberry Jam is the only Animal Collective album that I consider truly essential, so Kramzer gets my vote this week. I had forgotten what that Wilco song sounded like, so I went and re-listened to it. The solo is indeed cool, but the first half of the song is awfully milquetoast. Not a strong way to open an album.

Never mind the song, that 'Online' song video is worth an examination. William Shatner, Jason Alexander, and I think it might be Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood up there on stage, although that may be me just tripping out over the weirdness of the whole damn thing. Loves :)
2007 Impossible Germany - Not the album version. Wilco best version is live on RUclips. Better than the record in part because of Nels' guitar ruclips.net/video/kmI7SiLe4Vw/видео.html Sky Blue Sky - Wilco Who's gonna Find Me - The Coral. My theory is that The Coral need to sound a little psychedelic in order to sound good to me.

Acadian Driftwood (cover of The Band) Richard Shindell
Where is the Yo la Tengo song from? I Feel Like Going Home was the year before. lol The only ones I know from 2007 were their two contributions of Dylan songs to the I'm Not There soundtrack. Which I considered including. Great list by the way. Even some I am now going to have to search out
hey - nice list - Agree w you on The Coral - better when psychedelic - Honestly they are a band who I am not sure I like or not - filed under "can't figure them out" - yeah, I really didn't love PJ Harvey's album - has she won SOTY for you in the past? - Smithereens pay homage to the Old Masters 😎 - The National, The Shins: fantastic post-2000 bands - indy at its best - on the other hand i am not into Radiohead at all at this point - also as Kram (i believe) mentioned, Wilco starts losing me here . .
This is the best music discography channel on RUclips...fascinatining insights, counterpoints, and opinions...deserves a lot more than 9.9K subscribers
They ARE the best . . for a number of reasons. 😀
I've said this before: they are growing steadily with a very strong community.
I'm sure the patron to subscriber ratio is much higher than average.

Going to cheat here. Big time. For the umpteenth year I can't find much I was listening to, so I'm going to pick a song from a gig I saw in December of 2007. A live album was released some years later which doesn't quite work for this format, but hey, it was a special gig.
Me and a friend managed to bag two tickets from a worldwide lottery that became the biggest show in town. The O2 in London to be precise, where 20,000 lucky winners, from across the globe got to see,for the final time, Led Zeppelin.
According to Guinness World Records 2009, the concert holds the world record for the "Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert" as 20 million requests for the reunion show were rendered online. We were lucky. 🍀
They agreed to play this one off reunion in tribute to co-founder of Atlantic records, Ahmet Ertegun, who had passed away back in 2006.
There was a lot of apprehension leading up to the concert, in particular, would Plant still be able to hit those notes and could Jason Bonham fill that drum space left behind by his father. Affirmative to both. Though Plant made it pretty clear that any tour of the band in the future was never going to happen.
I was fortunate as a spotty faced, long haired sixteen year old, to see them perform at Knebworth back in 1979, but after the death of John Bonham and the band calling it quits I, like many others, never thought I'd see their like again. But for two glorious hours on that barmy night me and 20,000 other Zep fans relived the music, the songs and the memories of one of, if not, the greatest, band ever
Oh, SOTY. Not that it matters really, I just wanted to reminisce, but I'll give it to Kashmir, 2007 live version. ✌️
PS just checked out Feist for the first time. Superb. Thanks 👍

3. Daddy's Gone - Glasvegas
4. (Antichrist Television Blues) - Arcade Fire
5. My Moon My Man - Feist
Song of the Year: United States - Close three-way battle (appropriately enough) between SP, Killers, and Interpol. RMM has gone up in appreciation every year since 2006, but U.S. is still at the top. Probably my favorite SP track.
Dang, I really should have had Dashboard on my Billboard list too. Cool Talking Heads vibes on that one. I might update it even.
I dig My Moon My Man a lot more than 1234
@@TimeToGetAlone I wasn't so crazy about Dashboard in 2007, but it has grown on me tremendously.
@@179rich I agree. 1234 is a good pop song, but My Moon My Man just has such a haunting vibe to it. Sticks with me much more than 1234.

4. Don’t Make me a Target: Spoon
3. Fluorescent Adolescent: Arctic Monkeys
2. Sleeping Lessons: The Shins
1. For Reverend Green: Animal Collective

So loaded, I’m going into a deep dive on 2007 the next two weeks.👍
The Shop Boyz - Party Like A Rock Star was my Guilty Pleasure Of 2007 - It was popular on My Space ! 😆
BILLBOARD
1. *Dashboard by Modest Mouse #61* (Neglected to include this originally purely on oversight. Solid Talking Heads-esque post-punk revival, which is choice as far as the charts go.)
2. *All Good Things (Must Come to an End) by Nelly Furtado #86* (Going for more a melancholic pop approach here. That main melodic turn is among the best stuff squeaking into the hot 100.)
3. *Read My Mind by The Killers #62* (Churn out another solid single wearing their influences on their sleeve.)
4. *Flashing Lights by Kanye West #29* (That trance-esque synth beat is very cool, and it all comes together well into one of the best pop rap singles this side of Outkast. Closes the chapter on my preferred Kanye era.)
5. *Phantom Limb by The Shins #86* (Not necessarily any better than a lot of their stuff from the decade, but it got enough play to find itself here. I'll take it.)
WILDCARD
1. WINNER: *The Underdog by Spoon* (Catchy pop/rock with a melody that, at its core, sounds like it comes straight from late 70s Billy Joel, yet even better?)
2. *Neon Bible by Arcade Fire* (Short, sweet, and hits on the chamber pop elements that I love from the record for the same name.)
3. *Time to Pretend by MGMT* (Killer indie anthem. I forget how noisy it is, and then there's that synth hook.)
4. *Jigsaw Falling into Place by Radiohead* (More high-level art rock. I like the touch with the acoustic guitar that recalls more their 90s stuff.)
5. *Long Nights by Eddie Vedder* (Could have gone with a few tracks off the Into the Wild soundtrack, but this one left the biggest impression this time around.)
Top 10 Wildcard HM:
Reckoner by Radiohead
No Cars Go by Arcade Fire
Violet Stars Happy Hunting!!! by Janelle Monáe
Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys
Slow Show by The National
Billboard is getting quite awful in places, but some less huge and far more palatable cuts did manage to sneak in. On the wildcard side, lots to like with competition that might be the strongest of the decade.
Worst TOP 40: Cyclone by Baby Bash featuring T-Pain #7 (We're really starting getting into the stuff I find just terrible now. The chorus in particular is quite repulsive. I've never liked aggressive autotune for effect either, so T-Pain's elements only compounds things.)
Worst Runner Up:
Better Than Me by Hinder #31
Sexual Eruption by Snoop Dogg #7

Good evening Guys!
Not too excited about 2007. My SOTY is solid though..
Here are my picks:
SOTY -
Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
Then I have:
It Means Nothing - Stereophonics
Your Love Is Not Enough - Manic Street Preachers ft Nina Persson
Goodbye Mr A - The Hoosiers
Suburban Knights - Hard Fi
Brianstorm - The Arctic Monkeys
Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors - Editors
On Call - Kings of Leon
It’s Not Over Yet - Klaxons
How to Save a Life - The Frey
Cheers! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
We both have Editors! Amy Winehouse will certainly be on my long-awaited 2006 list (album rule).
On Call and Smokers both just missed my wild cards.
Hi Lou, we have several shared artists but no shared songs this week. I consider Pull The Pin to be one of Stereophonics’ weaker albums, so they are only a HM for me this time. I still like most of your choices though. 😃
@@bryanbyrde8338 hey Bryan, hope you’re well. I know what you mean about Pull the Pin, not a favourite of mine either but I am a bit of a sucker for a Stereophonics “soppy song”!
I’ve been working on my lists for the 2010s and I’m struggling big time to fill them. we’ve had this discussion before; by the time the 2010s came along I was busy with family etc and music was put in the back burner 😬 there may have to be duplicate songs from trusted artists!! Having said that I’m excited that Suede got back together in 2013 so they’ll be heavily involved I’m sure!
Have a great weekend, the weathers looking good 👍🏻
@@lubilou64 Thanks Lou, I hope your weekend is fabulous my friend, and hopefully the weather matches! 😀
Yes, the last 15 years of this series will definitely be the toughest, particularly with trying to find 5 Billboard hits I like from each year. Some very interesting choices lie ahead 🤣
I know you are a big fan of Suede’s music. I liked a few of their singles but they weren’t ever among my favourites previously. I will definitely be checking out their later work, though - 2013 might end up being one of the best years from the 2010s. Stereophonics will definitely be appearing that year for me as well.
Take care and speak soon 👍

I voted for the Wilco pick in the SOTY contest, lovely pick Jason 👍
“Challengers” is my second favorite New Pornographers song. It was great seeing it in Kramzer’s list. It’s just a beautiful masterpiece… 2007 is a killer year for me. One of my favorite of that decade. Narrowing it down to only 5 songs was really, really tough:
5) Bon Iver - “For Emma”
4) PJ Harvey - “The Piano”
3) The New Pornographers - “Challengers”
2) The National - “Mistaken for Strangers”
1) Porcupine Tree - “Anesthetize” (a strong contender for my favorite song of all time)
Great show guys, thank you.

3)2080-Yeasayer(Another great song about living your life to the fullest,this is just so catchy,yet proggy as well)

1)This is All I Came to Do-Dinosaur Jr(Maybe just the best pure rock song I heard at the time,I played Beyond constantly when it came out,this was my favorite track. Still love it today)
Hey Paul, right! We do share many picks! That's cool. Even Stay Tuned, awesome choice, I think only us listed it. Will be checking out your lists,. Cheers!
Billboard classifies 2007 as the last year of the rock era (1955-2007). And if you look at the pop charts, after this point, we are definitely out of the rock era. We were seeing a slip in the late-90s and a brief comeback in the early-to-mid-2000s but now rock is really going to slide in mainstream popularity. Very few actual rock songs start to chart in the Top 100 starting in 2008 onward. Still, there is plenty of good Hot 100 songs (early 2010s is a great period for pop) and there is tons of great albums released in the 2010s.

Great lists! Yeah, I'm surprised Dino Jr. didn't make Jason's list.
@@179rich that was indeed a surprise!
Good year for tunes, for sure.
1. Titus Andronicus - Titus Andronicus. Who knew a song whose chorus is "Your life is over" a bunch of times could be so joyous and uplifting.
2. The Underdog - Spoon. Speaking of uplifting, Spoon breaks out a horn section for this bundle of joy.
3. Mistaken For Strangers - The National. Boxer is definitely when the National enters their more dour phase, but this tune rocks pretty hard.
4. A Girl in Port - Okkervil River. Will Sheff, underrated lyricist of the 2000s.
5. All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem. Cool Dad Electronica from James Murphy.
6. The Past is a Grotesque Animal - Of Montreal. This psychedelic dance track is something else.
7. Boy With a Coin - Iron & Wine. Very cool acoustic guitar work on this track.
8. Skinny Love - Bon Iver. Still Bon Iver's best tune
9. Stronger - Kanye West. Kanye takes a Daft Punk sample to new heights.
10. 1,2,3,4 - Feist. Great breakout pop tune from Leslie Feist.
Well we had one! - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic We'll always have 2000s Kanye.
In retrospect, I should've saved "Titus Andronicus" for 2008 when the album dropped (it got a single release in 2007) and added Ryan Adams' "Halloweenhead", which I totally forgot about. 2008 definitely a weaker year.
My Top 10
1. SILVERCHAIR "Waiting All Day"
2. RADIOHEAD "Nude"
3. FOO FIGHTERS "Long Road to Ruin"
4. PORCUPINE TREE "Anesthetize"

Worst: There were so many contenders this year, part of why I avoided top 40 music at this time. I'm going with "Lip Gloss" by Lil Mama because there is pretty well no song to this, when I heard it my jaw dropped because of how terrible it is. I don't know why anyone would have ever wanted to listen to it, let alone take it to the top 40.
First: This is a song I have been in love with from the moment I first heard it. It's a cover but it's a great one - "Through the Morning, Through the Night" by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. This song kicked off a multi year search for me to find the Dillard and Clark album it came from, back in 2007 I couldn't find it anywhere not even online. I've finally got ahold of the album in the years since but I still love this version as much as, if not more than, the original. Everything about it is just gorgeous.
great SOTY choice 😍
Same National song as I was considering. Paramore and MGMT songs also pretty close.
Umbrella just missed my list. So close. I think I liked it more in 2007 than I do now.

*Honorable mention to 9 Crimes by Damien Rice, wich i forgot to put in my top of 2006 😪
I just noticed that some of my picks seem to foreshadow some of the Listographies that come in the next weeks...
HM - Public Enemy - Harder Than You Think, Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent, Graham Parker - I Discovered America, Fountains of Wayne - Someone to Love, Siouxsie - Into a Swan
5. NIN - Capital G (Trent Reznor's political album was as angry as the subject makes you expect.)
4. PJ Harvey - The Piano (One of the great songs on White Chalk - there are some but not enough.)
3. Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring (What a difference one man can make - file under Robert Fripp.)
2. Neil Young - Ordinary People (Neil's song of the decade was an 18 minutes epic born back in 1988 with not just his guitar showing off but also blue note horns and extraordinary piano, not one second is boring.)
1. Björk - Wanderlust (album version) (The fact that this masterpiece inspired a generation of nitwits to try the same does not harm the marvellousness of the original.)
1. Keep the car running - Arcade Fire
2. Underwater (you and me) - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
3. Strange Lights - Deerhunter
4. Livin' in the Future - Bruce Springsteen
5. Phantom limb - The Shins

2007…
My 30s were clawing at the door & changes were inevitable. Some I welcomed, others snuck in through the holes in my force field.
Here’s the music that accompanied me.
1. Pace Is The Trick - Interpol
2. Atlantis To Interzone - Klaxons
3. Count In Fives - The Horrors
4. Black Mirror - Arcade Fire
5. Get Innocuous! - LCD Soundsystem

8. Bunny Ain’t No Kind Of Rider - of Montreal
9. House Of Cards - Radiohead
10. Going To A Town - Rufus Wainwright
HM: Woman In The Window - Satellite Party
Hi Brent, It’s cool to have some artists in common. I love the video for No I In Threesome - especially when you can see each of the band members in the mirror. It’s beautifully done. Pace Is The Trick just carries more emotional weight with me. My 2nd favorite from that album is Mammoth. I love when Paul Banks uses the occasional expletive- he rarely does. Hope you’re having a great day. 😊
@@brentjackson6839 Should have used it. Great song!
Love that Rufus Wainwright song.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 It is great, isn’t it? Sadly still relevant, maybe even more so - 15 years later.
Dashboard would be my SOTY and on the shortlist for SOTD.
2007 was absolutely loaded for great albums. The best year since 1997 in that regard (‘In Rainbows’ was my AotY). But the US Billboard was extremely limited, which is why I share so many as these guys, plus a couple that wouldn’t even touch my wildcard list.
🏆Song of the Year: Welcome Home, Radical Face
🔥 Billboard:
1, 2, 3, 4, Feist
Kids, MGMT
Phantom Limb, The Shins
Hey There Delilah, Plain White Ts
Tarantula, Smashing Pumpkins
😎 Wildcard:
Reckoner, Radiohead
Turn on Me, The Shins
What Light, Wilco
The Underdog, Spoon
🤮 Worst: I want to F You, Akon
Solid. I think I'd go with Fireworks, but AC is definitely up there for 2007 for me.
Love all three SOTY candidates…..hmmmm, so hard to choose!
I am voting for Phantom Limb - an HM for me
First year I really remember listening to music. Was 5

Welcome Home - Radical Face
Love will tear us apart - Nerina Pallot (B-side)
When I am through with you - VLA
I don't think I had heard a single song by The Shins prior to going through your picks, and they are definitely getting my vote.
Incredibly tough choice for me between your three winners. I’m gonna have to go with “Either Way” even though it’s not on my list. Love “Reverend Green” but I have another song Animal Collective-related.
1. “Rhthm & Soul” - Spoon (my favorite Spoon song)
2. “Comfy In Nautica” - Panda Bear
3. “Side with the Seeds” - Wilco
4. “Dress Blues” - Jason Isbell (wasn’t expecting this from Jason. Great pick. First album I ever heard by him, although it wasn’t until a year later. Definitely one of his 5 greatest songs, but insane to say he hasn’t at least matched this song since.)
5. “Myriad Harbour” - The New Pornographers (Dan Bejar strikes again with the unofficial autobiography of the band)
HM: “Atlas” - Battles, “Apartment Story” - The National, “Unless It’s Kicks” - Okkervil River, “Paper Planes” - M.I.A, “Past In Present” - Feist
✌🏻
1. Klaus Waldeck - Make My Day - Jerry Weintraub - Get Up Carmen - So Black & Blue

When I do my list I try to not name songs you already called.
Charted Song :
Paul McCartney - Dance Tonight
Wildcards :
Brian Wilson - Midnight’s Another Day (favorite song)
Caribou - Desiree
Coral - Rebecca You and She’s Got A Reason
PJ Harvey - Grow Grow Grow
Iron And Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth
The song « Tastes like music »:
Animal Collective - For Reverend Green
album by a ‘new’ act :
Caribou - Andorra
Least favorite song :
Lil Wayne - I’m Me
For Reverend Green is my favorite song ever, so that's a pretty easy vote here. Probably my favorite year of music. Very deep with wild cards as I was at the height of my musical exploration and Pitchfork reading here. Worst song was easily Hey There Delilah. I have such a deep-seeded hatred for that tune that my friends will still play it to mess with me today.
Trying to do a quick list and stick to one an artist:
Animal Collective - For Reverend Green
Of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Dillinger Escape Plan - Milk Lizard
Spoon - The Ghost of You Lingers
Yeasayer - 2080
Fair To Midland - Dance of the Manatee (Attn: Joe)
QOTSA - 3's & 7's
Kanye - Can't Tell Me Nothing
MIA - Paper Planes
White Stripes - Icky Thump
El-P - Up All Night
Feist - 1234
Against Me! - Thrash Unreal
Modest Mouse - Dashboard
The National - Mistaken For Strangers
Okkervil River - Our Life is a Movie Maybe
Bright Eyes - Hot Knives
and so on...
There's a legit argument that this is one of the greatest years ever. (At least post-2000). I think the last time I had so many HMs was 1990. Certainly a vast improvement over the late 90's/early 00's. I've already given my opinion on Pitchfork - not good. For whatever reason I never got into Animal Collective - Sorry Kram!
Two very strong songs of the year with Wilco and Shins. Not much else mentioned I liked except for New Pornographers, Amy Winehouse, Jason Isbell and the Killers. For me the song of the year was easily Fountains of Wayne "Someone to Love" which for me remains their greatest ever song far eclipsing "Stacy's Mom". Another one of their great 3 minute pop song melodies married to a tragic-humorous story about finding love in the 2000's. I had to laugh when I heard Jason's worst song of the year as he said out loud exactly what I've been thinking about Brad Paisley for a long time. I have seen him live and I would go again just to see him play guitar. He really would be better off using outside songwriters or maybe better yet record some cover songs and make them his own.
Joe, I came so close to picking your choice, but in the end, I had to go with Kramzer again. I just have a thing for trippy music and the Shins sound tame in comparison. Wilco wasn't even in the running (of course). Don't worry buddy, I'm sure we'll get there again one day. :P
Aughhhhhh. - Joe
2007 was an action packed year for great music.
All three of your selections for song of the year are great. After watching Joe's picks leading up to it, The Shins was a shock. I didn't see that coming having never heard any of his other choices.
Radiohead/LCD Soundsystem/The Shins/Animal Collective etc. get nice shoutouts on the video so I will throw out six 2007 favorites from acts the channel doesn't have any time for.
Ed Kuepper - That Depends Pt 3
After a 7 year break Kuepper was back. Singing "here she comes that friend of mine" is old Saints compatriot the late Chris Bailey. A powerful, intense get-together for the old frenemies.
David Kilgour - Out Of The Moment
Clean frontman with his best solo album to date. This closing 7 minute instrumental evokes the old west with just enough psychedelic touches to keep it Kilgour.
Glenn Mercer - Whatever Happened
First solo album by The Feelies co-frontman. And features all the main Feelies players except Bill Million. Maybe singing "What are we fighting for? What's it all about?" worked as four years later we get the first Feelies release in 20 years. This song would fit comfortably in the Feelies catalog.
The Good, The Bad, And The Queen - 80s Life
Damon Albarn brings together Paul Simonon from the Clash & the late Tony Allen from Fela Kuti's band. The whole album is wonderful. And this song, from its piano tapping intro to wheezy ending is bliss.
The Go! Team - Grip Like Vice
The follow-up to The Go! Team's near perfect debut. And while the whole album didn't have the same power, the lead-off track Grip Like Vice has all the fun, exuberance and energy we love from the Team!
A throw-back to classic 80s hip-hop revved up for 2007
The Fall - Reformation
I don't think I can wring much more from the Fall after 2007 (well maybe a little), but this track deserves attention.
The American musicians that Smith had recruited, after being abandoned by the previous line-up mid-tour, power through this bass heavy diss of the previous Fall collective and make something perfect for Smith to bark over. "This is what it'll sound like for a reformation."
Animal Collective gets my vote. This ones for Reverend Green!
The Fall album made it into my top 10 (#9) of the AOTY and they were not yet done for me with their 30th++ album. I still have some candidates for future SOTY lists from them.
Also Ed Kuepper will appear in a later year on my list. I noticed that I miss the 2007 album in my collection - I need to check it.
PS - Tony Allen's 2017 The Source was my AOTY, but Secret Agent (2009) and Film of Life (2014) are also very strong albums from him (the 2021 posthumous release is something to avoid).
Great list; a few I missed!
@@roxannewalsh Thanks. I will l take a listen to the Tony Allen albums
Forgot about that Glenn Mercer solo album,it's a real good one!
@@painless465 Glenn Mercer is doing a nearby gig, in July, with Richard Batrone (of The Bongos) and some other Feelies. It's a night of Glam era covers. Don't know where y'all live, but it's in Marlboro, NY on July 2.

Great list as always, Fran. We both have Feist, Editors, MGMT, Arcade Fire, the Shins . . I had a different song by The National in my top 5
Hi Naughty! Thanks, we do have a few in common. I checked out some of your stuff. How could I have missed that awesome Imperial Teen song I discovered thanks to you? And The Apples In Stereo and Sophe Lux tunes are great, never heard them before. I was about to choose I'll Work For Your Love as my Springsteen's pick, have a soft spot for the tune since it came out. Take care my friend!
We had a lot of the same songs. Great list!
GREAT stuff as always, Fran... I would say there's three glaring omissions: MENOMENA (The entire "Friend and Foe" albums is genius), THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS, and CLOUD CULT "The Meaning of 8" (a heartbreaking and ultimately redemptive album about unimaginable loss. The main songwriter and his wife lost their child. ...and this album is just an emotional and beautiful roller coaster of emotions. They also touched on this subject on their previous album, but this one really hit me.) Cheers!
Hi John! I'm quite familiar with The New Pornographers, but for some reason I hardly listened to Challengers the album. But I do love Challengers the song and you're totally right, it should have made my list. Cloud Cult and Menomena I had never heard of them before, I checked them out and sound very promising, particularly Cloud Cult. I'll listen to them more. Thanks so much for discovering good music to me. Please keep pointing out my omissions. Cheers!

6. To Mother Earth - Gamma Ray
7. September Sun - Type O Negative
8. Slaughtered Authors - The Wildhearts
9. Transcendental Groove - Hanoi Rocks
10. The Floating Head - King Diamond
I will check out the Type O Negative one - Lost track of them around this time (into Bloody Kisses/October Rust) . . Outside my wheelhouse but was considering giving Gamma Ray consideration at sometime . . There was something in their sound I liked. .
@@NaughtyVampireGod The TON album, Dead Again, has become my favorite over time. Definitely not Gamma Ray's best tune, but a good one. Almost went with "Into the Storm". It was a strong yr. all around.
@@independenceltd. Yep - A very strong year.
@@NaughtyVampireGod I couldn't even make room for Ginger, W.A.S.P., Saxon, Trouble, Joe Bonamassa...sad times.
@@independenceltd. This year it hurt me to keep Dropkick Murphys, Against Me!, Grinderman and Siouxsie out of the top 10. It was just that kind of year.
1. Gimme More- Britney Spears
2. Ever Present Past- Paul McCartney
3. I Should've Been After You- Rooney
4. Rag and Bone- The White Stripes
5. You Got It All...Wrong- The Hives
6. All My Friends- LCD Soundsystem
7. I Feel It All- Feist
8. No One- Alicia Keys
9. Girlfriend- Avril Lavigne
10. Thinking About You- Norah Jones
HM-
Dashboard- Modest Mouse
Radio Nowhere- Bruce Springsteen
1973- James Blunt
Electric Feel- MGMT
How Far We've Come- Matchbox Twenty
Hey - I got the songs by Feist, Noarh Jones & Matchbox as HMs. Radio Nowhere was a just miss. Had a different MGMT song. 😀
@@NaughtyVampireGod could have gone with '1234' or 'girls' for feist and bruce. close call. i like how peppy the matchbox song is. do you have a pick for best apples in stereo album?
@@cheapcinemachannel4548 Their magnum opus is New Magnetic Wonder (2007), but I'd start with their second album, Tone Soul Evolution (1996). The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone (2000) & Velocity of Sound (2002) are also great, but the first two I mentioned are essential.
(I ignore the Billboard. Any song released this year is eligible. One song per artist/band unless more than one album is released)
10) Queen B - Puscifer
09) No Pussy Blues - Grinderman
08) Ordinary People - Neil Young
07) Florescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys
06) Comfy in Nautica - Panda Bear
05) Videotape - Radiohead
04) Electric Feel - MGMT
03) Here Comes That Day - Siouxsie Sioux (would make an excellent Bond theme!)
02) Ex-Guru - The Fiery Furnaces (Widow City is magic!)
01) Icky Thump/Rag and Bone (tie) - The White Stripes
Got that Siouxsie song as an HM . . Different songs by Grinderman and MGMT . . Ex-Guru was a bubbling under . . .
@@NaughtyVampireGod Yeah, lots of good songs to choose from for Grinderman and MGMT.
Great call on Siouxsie
I would have loved to vote for either All I Need or Someone Great. No dice 🎲 I went with Joe’s pick.
Pleasantly relieved that I am still finding some songs I really like on the UK charts for 2007. Saying that, this year did seem to be a little front-loaded with not many songs making my list from the later part of the year. The following acts get honourable mentions for having more than one song amongst the 49 on my long list with no entries in my top 10 - |The Klaxons (3 songs), Bloc Party, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys (4) and Hard-Fi. The Arctic Monkeys total is partly a reflection that downloads of tracks from big albums when they are released are starting to chart. Making my list are 2 songs each from 2 of my favourite albums of the 2000s, Back to Black by Amy Winehouse and Neon Bible by Arcade Fire. The title track from the former was a cert for my top 10 and there were 2 other songs from the album on my long list. I currently consider the latter marginally my no. 1 Arcade Fire album and another song from it made my long list. My most left-field choice this year is a dance cover of an Alanis Morissette song by the Freemasons with vocals by Bailey Tzuke, whose mother Judy made my list in 1979. I think the only other parent-child combo to make my lists so far are George and Matt Bellamy of the Tornadoes and Muse respectively. The combination of Bailey's vocals and the Freemason's almost Middle-Eastern creates a dance record that works in a car or on the radio as well as in a club. Meanwhile, The Manics return to my list after their hiatus, assisted by Nina Persson of Cardigans fame:
Intervention - Arcade Fire
Keep the Car Running - Arcade Fire
The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Uninvited - Freemasons ft Bailey Tzuke
On Call - Kings of Leon
All my Friends - LCD Soundsystem
Your Love alone is not Enough - Manic Street Preachers ft Nina Persson
Icky Thump - The White Stripes
Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
Tears Dry on their Own - Amy Winehouse
From the guy's choices 1234 and Read my Mind were on my long list.

(Kramzer is totally right about this one. I don’t usually like to pick on easy targets but these jerks deserve it)
Song of the Year: Read My Mind - The Killers
(A beautifully melodic song, performed with passion and musical integrity. This represents everything that Nickelback will never be)

Greetings Bryan! Hope you had a good week. We match with Read My Mind and Sentimental this time around. A couple of great songs. Also, I'd never heard Fans until this week, but I thought it was one of the best tracks on that KOL album.
Will give a listen to the songs I don't know. Hopefully I'm able to get feedback to you relatively soon!
Hello Bryan - Happy to hear that you enjoyed the Jubilee last weekend. My UK friends have a lot to be proud of . . . and after the last few years we all deserve a big party. Sry for not getting back to you sooner and thanks again for the comments. Looking forward to your Porcupine Tree rankings in a few weeks if you are in for the deep dive. BTW, I hope to finalize 2006 THIS weekend and will naturally give you a heads-up. 😀 There's a few from your list I will have to check out incl BRMC,Joe Bonamassa, and Take That. As i think i mentioned to Brent or Lou, the Killers will be on my 2006 list. Later . .
Hi Bryan. Of the songs I hadn't heard, Please Read The Letter was my favorite. A very close second place went to You Don't Know What Love Is.
I think I like Taylor Swift's pop music more than her country songs, but I did enjoy Teardrops On My Guitar. First Time is a Lifehouse song I'd forgotten and as usual from them, a solid tune. Was aware of Joe Bonamassa by name only. Around The Bend was to my liking.
Enjoyed listening to your picks, Bryan. Hope it will be a great weekend for you!

Robert Wyatt, Mekons, The Fall, Wire - nice inclusions
@@ihavenoquarrelwithyou3249 Some of my all time favorites. I've seen Mekons, and various side projects, many times.
The Crash Motive - Not Giving Up. I really like the song. They changed their name from a few years earlier and were on a couple of soundtracks and the singer left the next year which probably hurt them but the song should have been a bigger hit. Its just a fun pop rock song.
I’m happy to have caught this if only for Jason’s incredible take on the song Online by Brad Paisley. It sounds laughably terrible which would be a massive improvement over the legitimately horrible Rockstar by Nickelback. Thanks guys.
10. A Place to Bury Strangers - Missing You
9. Justice - Genesis
8. Kings of Leon - Fans
7. Blonde Redhead - 23
6. Bon Iver - Flume
5. Queens of the Stone Age - 3's & 7's
4. The Gaslight Anthem - We Came to Dance
3. Arctic Monkeys - Flourescent Adolescent
2. John Maus - Do Your Best
1. The Raveonettes - Dead Sound
My favorite track of the year is Straight Lines by Silverchair. Quirky and very uplifting at the same time.
I will die on the hill that Rock Star is not a bad song - it's hooky and the lyrics are all tongue-and-cheek and are pretty good for them. Don't mind it.
Surprised Icky Thump didn't make anyone's list.
"Dress Blues" is a great choice for song of the year. But "Mountain" by Cowboy Junkies is better. Their album "at the end of paths Taken" is fantastic.
What top 100 chart are they using? Would love to play along
Billboard
In no specific order:
- Arbouretum: Mohammed’s Hex and Bounty
- Fiery Furnaces: Duplexes of the Dead
- Porcupine Tree: Anesthetize
- MGMT: The Youth
- Robert Plant & Alison Krauss: Please Read the Letter
- Andrew Bird: Imitosis
- Art Brut: Pump Up the Volume
- Bright Eyes: Middleman
- Mika: Love Today
- Interpol: Pioneer to the Falls
Although I like these Billboard hits, they probably wouldn't make my top twenty songs of the year.
Billboard Hot 100
5. Bubby-Colbie Calliat
4. Apologize-Timbaland f/One Republic
3. Cupid's Chokehold- Gym Class Heroes
2. The Way I Are-Timbaland f/Keri Hilson

Wild Cards- A few Honorable Mentions- Mr. Bellamy-Paul McCartney, Wild Hope-Mandy Moore, Gardenia-Mandy Moore, Please Read the Letter-Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, People Are Like Suns-Crowded House
5. Rome Wasn't Built In A Day- Nick Lowe
4. Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson-Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
3. English Trees- Crowded House
2. Mary Pickford-Katie Melua
1. See Below
Worst Song- This Is Why I'm Hot- Mims- I generally don't love braggy songs, but one of the better worst songs of the year.
Song of the Year- She Called Up- Crowded House- Really catchy song for group probably counted on to be past their peak. Neil Finn is really talented at writing a hooky song.
This Why I'm Hot missed my favorite list for this year. Very simple rhyme scheme/lyrics & beat.
I will check out the crowded house song - honestly didn't know they had strong material this late in the game . .
@@NaughtyVampireGod Hope I didn't oversell it and you're disappointed. the video that goes with the song is adorable, maybe that memory influenced me a bit. I love Crowded House though!
@@adamhasideas6813 Hey Adam - it's a good song/video. Never heard it before. They certainly haven't strayed much from their classic sound. 😀 Split Enz/Crowded House are a part of my 80's soundtrack, although I must admit i am probably no more than a casual fan. I don't believe they ever got a song on any top 10 list of mine. Several HM's though . . Picking your top songs is a personal thing - or sholud be. Bubbly is a nice pop song. There seems to have a number of those "just chillin out on vacation" videos at around this time. Am I thinking about that Jason Mraz song? Yes, I am. 🙂
@@NaughtyVampireGod You're the best Naughty! Some good comments!
Strawberry Jam is the only Animal Collective album that I consider truly essential, so Kramzer gets my vote this week.
I had forgotten what that Wilco song sounded like, so I went and re-listened to it. The solo is indeed cool, but the first half of the song is awfully milquetoast. Not a strong way to open an album.

SONG OF THE YEAR
1 Pinback-From Nothing To Nowhere
My favorite is Rainbow by Battles
Never mind the song, that 'Online' song video is worth an examination. William Shatner, Jason Alexander, and I think it might be Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood up there on stage, although that may be me just tripping out over the weirdness of the whole damn thing. Loves :)
Brad Paisley has a sense of humor. It's just just meant to be a funny song, don't overthink it Jason.
Pains me to vote against Wilco, but Joe is the winner this year. Surprised Jason didn’t get anything by Dinosaur Jr on his list. They had my #1
2007
Impossible Germany - Not the album version. Wilco best version is live on RUclips. Better than the record in part because of Nels' guitar ruclips.net/video/kmI7SiLe4Vw/видео.html
Sky Blue Sky - Wilco
Who's gonna Find Me - The Coral. My theory is that The Coral need to sound a little psychedelic in order to sound good to me.
Almost Ready - Dinosaur Jr
Crumble - Dino Jr
Yo La Tengo - Leaving Home
Phantom Limb - The Shins
Perfect Skin - Lloyd Cole live at the BBC
Jennifer She Said - Lloyd Cole live
don't look back - Cole live
No Blue Skies - Cole live
HM:
Richard Hawley - "Valentine"
Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi - Radiohead
Fake Empire - The National
Magic - Bruce Springsteen
Anachronist - Robert Wyatt
Disappointing: When Under Ether - PJ Harvey
Good Covers:
Lennon's - #9 Dream - R.E.M.
Lennon's - This Boy - Smithereens
Lennon's Not a Second Time - The Smithereens And now you've changed your mind/I see no reason to change mine/You're giving me the same old line/I'm wondering why?/You hurt me then/ You're back again/ No, no, no, not a second time.
Acadian Driftwood (cover of The Band) Richard Shindell
Where is the Yo la Tengo song from? I Feel Like Going Home was the year before. lol
The only ones I know from 2007 were their two contributions of Dylan songs to the I'm Not There soundtrack. Which I considered including.
Great list by the way. Even some I am now going to have to search out
@@ihavenoquarrelwithyou3249 Thanks for pointing that out.
hey - nice list - Agree w you on The Coral - better when psychedelic - Honestly they are a band who I am not sure I like or not - filed under "can't figure them out" - yeah, I really didn't love PJ Harvey's album - has she won SOTY for you in the past? - Smithereens pay homage to the Old Masters 😎 - The National, The Shins: fantastic post-2000 bands - indy at its best - on the other hand i am not into Radiohead at all at this point - also as Kram (i believe) mentioned, Wilco starts losing me here . .
