Thanks so much for all the great music, you have introduced me to some of my favorite new bands, good work.
I would add to the best of 2007 list:
A Place to Bury Strangers
Beirut
Crystal Castles
Editors
Enon
Grinderman
Grizzly Bear
Hadouken
Nathan Lawr and the Minotaurs
The Horrors
The Ponys
Thanks for the great list! Hopefully 2008 will be filled with as much talent. I would have incorporated the following in the best of 07′ list:
Andrew Bird – Armchair Apocrypha
Calla – Strength in Numbers
Band of Horses – Cease to Begin
The New Pornographers – Challengers
Okkervil River – The Stage Names
Pinback – Autumn of the Seraphs
Shout Out Louds – Our Ill Will
Simian Mobile Disco – Attach Sustain Decay Release
Stars – In Our Bedroom After the War
Voxtrot – Voxtrot
Ween – La Cucaracha

Thank you very much for all the work and all the generosity.
Okkervil River’s The Stage Names not being on here is a joke.

There aren’t very many bands on here that I haven’t heard of, but out of those few I have found some very brilliant bands. Thanks a bunch!
This list is right on! The only person i’d add is Eric Solomon!
this is a single from which will no doubt be one of the hottest albums of 08.

“No Cars Go”- one of the best songs of this or any other year!
