[gorny540]

holy shit I've thought about making this thread for months I just wanted to wait an extra week or two


I'm not going to lie it's very biased for me to say Era Vulgaris, but I listen to queens more than anything else so yes Era Vulgaris is my album of the year

honorable mention
Our Love To Admire- Interpol




Those are the only 2 new cd's I bought this year

[thejackyl]

I wanna say In Rainbows (radiohead)...

runners up would be Era Vulgaris (qotsa), Super Taranta! (gogol bordello), Atlantis: Hymns for Disco (k-os), So Embarassing (capillary action), Prog (the bad plus)

[Madeline]

Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times

seconded.
im going to have my way with the bass player of KOL.  he is SUCH a dreamboat <3

[jaygill]

Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times

thirded.

it's been great watching this band grow and to finally nail a near perfect album and i loved their last single release choice "Charmer" as i thought it was the best track on the album but not an obvious single choice but they went with it anyway.

and hearing this live brought a whole new angle to it they really are phenomenal live.

Neon Bible by The Arcade Fire comes a very close 2nd

this has been a great year for electro.

Amiina - Kurr, was great too

[lorelei]

It's been a great year, really, and for the time being, still being listening to some really good albums, I can't make a choice.
For the time being, my top 10 will probably have :
Brant Bjork - Somera Sol
Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay friends
QOTSA - Era Vulgaris
Film School - Hide Out
PJ Harvey - White Chalk
Fu Manchu - We must obey
Enon - Grass geysers... Carbon Clouds
Goon Moon - Licker's Last Leg
and I keep two spaces for stuff I haven't had the opportunity to hear yet.

[Tom Bowler]

QOTSA - Era Vulgaris
UNKLE
Soulwax - Nite Versions
Soulwax - All the mixes

[Van Helsing Boombox]

I'll drop a quick top ten.  I won't call this "official" since the year isn't done yet and I've still got some thinking to do about some albums.

10. !!! - Myth Takes
9. Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
8. White Stripes - Icky Thump
7. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
6. Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
5. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
4. Battles - Mirrored
3. Panda Bear - Person Pitch
2. Radiohead - In Rainbows
1. Sunset Rubdown - Random Spirit Lover

And an honorable mention goes to Tears of the Valedictorian by Frog Eyes because I'm still trying to figure out what I think of that album.  Era Vulgaris is decent but, compared to these other albums, it's overshadowed.  The Soulsavers album was pretty good, but enjoy these others much more.

[Garfunk M. Rafferty]

1.Year Zero-NIN
2.Lickers Last Leg-Goon Moon
3.War Stories-Unkle

[TheAceRock.]

Goon Moon - Licker's Last Leg

just a great album from a band that i knew next to nothing about at this time last year. amazing music.


and honorable mentions to:

QOTSA - Era Vulgaris
Matthew Good - Hospital Music
UNKLE - War Stories

[brasseye]

Wincing the Night Away by The Shins is my choice for best album of 2007. I'm fairly sure that it was released this year.
Someone mentioned Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem earlier which ain't half bad either.
