2007
I know it’s really late, but I’ve been away since Christmas Eve and haven’t been able to post my end of year lists so get off my back. Here they are.
ALBUMS
#1 Boxer by The National
#2 Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon
#3 Sound Of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
#4 Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? by Of Montreal
#5 Random Spirit Lover by Sunset Rubdown
#6 The Reminder by Feist

#14 Myth Takes by !!!
#15 Our Love To Admire by Interpol
#16 Wizard Of Ahhhs EP by Black Kids
#17 Tuff Teef by I Heart Hiroshima

#26 Liars by Liars
#27 Idealism by Digitalism
#28 A Weekend In The City by Bloc Party
#29 Places Like This by Architecture In Helsinki
#30 Attack Decay Sustain Release by Simian Mobile Disco
The top 5 albums were all as good as each other, so it was nearly impossible to rank them, but I think I made the right choice with #1. Also, The Cool was released too late to properly place in the list, so next year perhaps.
