Best albums of 2007

Sure, I like the Radiohead record and the LCD Soundsystem record as much as the next guy, but I've lost count of the number of year-end best-of lists which boast the 1-2 punch of In Rainbows and Sound of Silver. Enough already!

Here's a song from each of the 10 albums to which I found myself returning again and again during 2007:

Mer du Japon - Air - Pocket Symphony

Fucking Boyfriend - The Bird and The Bee - The Bird and The Bee

Fancy Footwork - Chromeo - Fancy Footwork

Sit Tight - Field Music - Tones of Town

Golden Skans - Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future

Latchmere - The Maccabees - Colour It In

All the Things that Go to Make Heaven and Earth - The New Pornographers - Challengers

She's a Rejector - Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?

Don't You Evah - Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

See You at the Lights - 1990s - Cookies

Please consider doing one or more of these fine, hardworking artists a favor: if you like the song, click on the album link and buy the record!
