Albums of the Year?

By | 7 December 2007

We’re getting into lists territory, it being mid-December.

My album of the year hasn’t changed since I first heard it back in January (there’s a clue for you).

What’s yours? Why? Maybe you have more than one?

    Hello from a semi-retired music journalist making a living uploading the news for a general Irish audience. For me it has to be ‘In Rainbows’ because Radiohead will always be the best band of its generation, and because ‘Jigsaws falling into pieces’ is this wonderful track where one has the impression that it is that great rock band that has experimented with electronica and assorted other things playing one last great rock song, perhaps just for the grateful audience’s benefit. Honourable mention to The Arcade Fire, who impressed again with ‘Neon Bible’ though it was not the instant classic of their debut. Best wishes. Bill, Dublin.

    I’d have to name three equally great albums:
    Shout Out Louds – Our Ill Wills
    The Shins – Wincing The Night Away
    Aereogramme – My Heart Has A Wish…

    No bother to look to the other ways because these are the greats:
    1. Radiohead “In Rainbows’ (No doubt!)
    2. Poison The Well – Versions (Wicked!)
    3. Amy Winehouse – Back to Black
    4. Richard Hawley – Lady’s Bridge (Classic!)
    5. Soulive – No Place Like Soul

    LCD Soundsystem – Sound Of Silver
    Purely because I’ve listened to it and loved it more than anything else this year.
    I’ll do a top 20 at some point this week. Watch out too for the 12 Albums Of Christmas feature, should it appear…

    * Kings of Leon – Because Of The Times
    * Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet
    Special mention to Eddie Vedder’s new album too (Into The Wild soundtrack).

    It looks like Radiohead – In Rainbows has a good chance to be the album of the year:)

  • Aran

    Great albums this year:
    1. Imani Coppola – The Black & White Album
    2. Siobhan Donaghy – Ghosts
    3. M.I.A. – Kala
    4. Tori Amos – American Doll Posse
    Björk’s Volta gets an honorable mention for having a couple amazing tracks, but was a disappointment overall.

  • Darren

    It’s Arcade Fire for me. Radiohead second.

  • Andy

    Great Year with so many new bands. However, the ones I just keep returning to are:-
    Blonde Redhead – 23
    Interpol – Our love to Admire
    The National – Boxer
    the Rakes – ten New Messages
    The Rakes sneak into the best of the year. Just the way good British ska/punk should be. Quite simply, I can’t stop listening to it.

  • UNTERMENSCHEN

    Right now, I’m thinking…
    1) “In Rainbows” – Radiohead
    2) “Baby Machine” – This Et Al
    3) “Curses” – Future of the Left
    4) “The Magic Position” – Patrick Wolf
    5) “Citrus” – Asobi Seksu
    It’s subject to change, obviously. ; ) .

    Arcade Fire – Neon Bible
