Best Songs of the Year 2007

1. John Vanderslice - White Dove
Vanderslice kicks all those shitty indie rock sounds, and creates something terribly effective with his songs on Emerald City. Keep your speakers' volume on high, because no song will effect your brain like this, pure listening.

2. Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit
I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a god \ But which one, which one do I choose? \ All the churches fill with losers, psycho or confused \ I just want to hold the divine in mind \ And forget all of the beauty's wasted. Confused lyrics and poppy sound draws a new direction to Of Montreal's music. It's been really great song, i want to dance to this everytime i hear.

3. Band Of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You
A delicious alternative country sound, an emotional vocal contrubuting, dreamy arrangements come from 2007's one of the best albums Cease To Begin.


4. Patrict Wolf - Augustine/ Magpie
We discovered entertaining side of indie rock with John Vanderslice, and we danced to Of Montreal's Gronlandic Edit. Now, we need to listen some young star which keeps our eyes wet. Of course this name should be Patrict Wolf with his Augustine and Magpie (feat. Marianne Faithfull) from The Magic Position album.


5. Fiery Furnaces - Cabaret Of The Seven Devils/ My Egyptian Grammar
A strange song that i wanted to put the list, this is Fiery Furnaces, interestingly odd and unfamiliar. You should play this song along with My Egyptian Grammar which is another song from thier latest record Widow City. Oh god, this is so great music. At the end this is wonderful music.


6. Jens Lekman - Sipping On The Sweet Nectar
His Night Falls Over Kortedala is so mellow record, and it's his best yet.


7. Blonde Redhead - Top Ranking
Blonde Redhead are always welcome to our best of list, they're hard-working and their every record is great. Top Ranking should make this list.

8. Chris Conelly - Son of Empty Sam

9. The National - Brainy

10. Panda Bear - Bros

11. Rihanna feat Jay-Z – Umbrella
This is not cheap pop music, i can give my word. On the other hand this is not influencial.

12. Battles - Leyendecker
Maybe, Mixing this great experimental rock song to a disco floor dance song would be awesome. Anyhow this is the standout Battles cut from their post-modern Mirrored record.

13. Animal Collective - Peacebone

14. Feist - My Moon My Man

15. M.I.A. – Jimmy

16. Arcade Fire – Ocean of Noise

17. LCD Soundsystem – Get Innocuous!
The heavily chorused voices that suggest backward-masking in the opener "Get Innocuous" and the captivating harmonics keyboardist Nancy Whang.

18. Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

19. The Shins - Sea Legs

20. Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Radiohead become every teenage's supernatural depressing rock band, In Rainbows doesn't offer something beautifully shocking like previous Ok Computer or The Bends. Still Jigsaw Falling Into Place calls your good and bad memories back, a strong tune.

Everybody knows 'Roc Boys' is the best Jay-Z has recorded this year but you keep supporting these cheap r'n'b girls. I don't get it.
