I'm so terrible at introductions. So, I'm not gonna say really anything besides that this is my top 20 for 2007 (only 20 because I'm dead lazy), and this isn't based off the chart runs rather on how much I like it now. But I include them anyway cuz I'm awesome like that. And I only use an artist once so it doesn't get repetitive. They also include the artists other single and album chart runs from 2007 if they had any. Enjoy!

Really a grower. When Loose first came out, I wasn't that fond of it. Now it just might be my favorite on the album. The chorus and the beat make the song, really. Just a song you have to sing along to.

Say It Right is amazing :wub:

Okay, seriously. Like everyone likes this song. There's just something ridiculously catchy about and probably one of my favorite Avril songs. Listening back on it now, I'm not as obsessed as I was. I will never forget the day I got this from a friend; I was hooked from the start. And I just kept listening and listening. :lol: Too bad the rest of the album isn't that great besides 'Runaway' and 'Hot' to some extent.

Say It Right is a good track tho. ^_^

Love Say It Right, but Girlfriend is a bit repetitive for me.

This song is ridiculously catchy. I wasn't too fond of it when it first came out, but after it was released as a single I just loved it more and more till it becamse #1 for 2 weeks. It lasted an extremely long time, too. Around five months. Obviously says something about it.

I love M.I.A. I srsly do. And I love this song a lot too, one of my favorites off Kala. <3 It's so catchy! Deserved much better.

Before I finish up my top 20 songs, I want to get my top 10 albums finished up. <3 Here's the list.

 

10. Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

09. The White Stripes - Icky Thump

08. Kanye West - Graduation

07. Feist - The Reminder

06. Radiohead - In Rainbows

 

05. M.I.A. - Kala

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Mia-kala.jpg/200px-Mia-kala.jpg

This album is like one huge amazing slap in the face. Every track is amazing (except perhaps the extremely odd 'Mango Pickle Down River'). Rivals M.I.A.'s debut album 'Arular' though I think it falls short of it by just an hair. Still, an absolutely stunning album.

 

04. Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/26/The_Magic_Position_cover.jpg/200px-The_Magic_Position_cover.jpg

Anyone who does not know Patrick Wolf is sorely missing out. He is amazing and we're going to get married and have good times and stuff. But anyway, this is his third album and one of his best. It's absolutely beautiful. I absolutely demand for everyone to download 'The Magic Position', 'Overture', 'Bluebells', and 'Augustine' if you have not already. It's just an absolutely amazing album and omgah I love him.

 

03. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Arcade_Fire_-_Neon_Bible.jpg

Arcade Fire had a heck of a lot to live up to on their followup to 'Funeral', and I dare say they did a pretty amazing job. Like Kala, I think it falls short of Funeral by just a bit, but it's a great album in its own right. No Cars Go is an absolute must and really makes the album in my opinion.

 

02. Tegan and Sara - The Con

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d5/Teganandsara_thecon_cover.jpg/200px-Teganandsara_thecon_cover.jpg

Not many people know about Tegan and Sara in the UK which is sad. They're quite good, though they never really were 'amazing.' They started off as Ani Difranco wannabes, but eventually grew from that in their 3rd and 4th albums. While I enjoyed them, they never really were quite 'best of the year' standards for me. Just a very good indie pop act. I have no idea what happened, but their creativity reached an all time high while recording The Con. Basically, it's amazing and the best thing they've ever done. It can be very dark and emotional at times and then completely bubbly at others. There's just something extremely intriguing about the album and you never get bored of it. Give it a try; you won't be dissapointed.

 

01. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/ff/LCD_Soundsystem_-_Sound_of_Silver.jpg/200px-LCD_Soundsystem_-_Sound_of_Silver.jpg

This was another band (or 'artist' as LCD are really only a band when on tour, but I'll refer to them in the plural) that had a lot to live up to after their great debut. And unlike Arcade Fire and M.I.A., completely outshined it. Sophomore slump? Pft. Sound of Silver leaked before 2007 had even begun, but I almost picked it out from the moment I got it as one of the best of the year. Little did I know it would be THE best for me. It grew and grew and grew until I loved nearly every track. 'New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down' is LCD's best song yet. If you don't have this album or are unsure if it's really that good, it is and you need to buy it right now. Because I said so.

 

(But I would reccomend any album on this list easily)

09. The White Stripes - Icky Thump

08. Kanye West - Graduation

06. Radiohead - In Rainbows

03. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

 

I own them from your album list. I realy like Arcade Fire & White Stripes but I find Kanye's album a bit boring tbh. :(

Jack White is so attractive. :o But anyway, I absolutely love the White Stripes and this song. Icky Thump is a great album, the only difference between this one and their last few is that there are no standout tracks really. They're all good, but there's no 'Seven Nation Army' or 'Blue Orchid.' Still, it's all quite amazing stuff. <3 And Jack White omgah.

This song makes The Sweet Escape album, really. One of the few actually good tracks. Thankfully it's actually very good, and I'm glad it outshined Wind It Up (which really wasn't that good at all). I was dissapointed with the album, but that doesn't make this song any less amazing. <3 I hope No Doubt's new album is as good as this song.

Not many people like Kanye too much around here which is sad. He's really talented. Not much of a great rapper to be honest, but he's got production SKILLZ. This song is no exception. I love the beat and the Daft Punk sample, plus Graduation is probably his most consistent album yet. Plus the video is based off an awesome anime move called Akira which pretty much rocks.

My Chemical Romance were a bit blah with their second album, but they pretty much blew me away with their third album. This is one of the best songs on the album, and I'm really pleased it did so well.

Definitely my favorite Amy Winehouse song. It's just...well, it's probably her catchiest song. And it just clicks with me, plus it's a ton of fun to sing. She's really amazing though. I just wish she would get her life sorted out.
