henny -> RE: Your favorite songs of 2007? (12/31/2007 1:21:26 AM)

11. "Objects of My Affection" -Peter, Bjorn, and John. This one isn't as popular as their "Young Folks" but it holds up better after repeat listening, while Young Folks wears kind of thin the 50th time you hear it. 10. Dizzee Rascal's song in which he samples "It takes 2" (sorry I can't name it or post a link as there's lots of swearing [:)] -it's from his "Maths and English" album). It's insane, though. The album as a whole doesn't come close to the genius of his debut from a few years back, but this particular song certainly matches it. 9. "Paper Planes" -M.I.A. I like the guitar feedback sample in this, I'm not sure what song it's taken from though. As a whole this album was probably my favorite and most listened to from 2007 -which says a lot as I don't like hip-hop that much at all. 8. ]"Nantes" -Beirut. I'm a sucker for glockenspiels and accordions. 7. "Release the Stars" -Rufus Wainwright. I'm also a sucker for overblown Phil Spector tinged Cabaret. The rest of the album this is taken from isn't all that great, but I loved this song. 6. "Earth Intruders" -Bjork. I like Bjork. This wasn't her best album, but it had several good moments, including this one. 5. "Crystal Cat"-Dan Deacon. This whole album is crazy. I can't post a link though as the video's very strange in a tongue in cheek way and would probably be misinterpreted and offend people. 4. Challengers -"The New Pornographers" -Not as good as their last album, but it grew on me as the year progressed and now it's probably my second favorite thing they've ever done. 3. Antichrist Television Blues -The Arcade Fire. Despite the title this has nothing to do with the anti-Christ, rather it's a hyped up and much darker channeling of Bruce Springsteen. Plus you can totally pogo to it if you are so inclined towards pogo-ing! What more could you want? [:D] 2. "Boyz" -M.I.A. This is hands down the craziest beat from 2007. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it. 1. "All My Friends" -LCD Soundsystem. This one is an instant classic, and I've listened to it on repeat for a few months now and am still not sick of it. It's the best New Wave song from the 1980s made 25 years too late (Plus it reminds me a bit of Bowie's "Heroes" in the way it builds slowly).
