I totally agree for the choose of the track of the year... (even if I have been wondering for soon a year if the greatest track was Someone Great or All My Friends)

No KALA either, Neoptolemos. I've just updated my top 50 lists table with the MOJO list, and now the -only- two albums that have appeared on all 7 lists are IN RAINBOWS and NEON BIBLE. What a wide open year this is!

The lists from U.S. magazines and websites should start flooding in next week, culminating early next year in the Idolator Jackin' Pop poll (assuming they're doing it again this year) and Pazz & Jop. When the dust settles, I firmly expect Radiohead and the Arcade Fire to end up with the top two albums of 2007, with LCD, M.I.A., Springsteen and the National close behind.

Re: MOJO Best of 2007

That's a pretty weak list. Way too many glaring omissions. Only maybe 4-5 of my top 20 are in their top 20.

And Because of the Times is up there with Under the Blacklight as worst critically acclaimed album of the year.

Re: MOJO Best of 2007

Almost all these lists have Boys and Girls in America which makes me happy because that means it will rise even more on the AM rankings...and yes, go LCD.

Re: MOJO Best of 2007

they got the top 2 right, just in the wrong order. Sound of silver is a definate top 5 album. I like the use of icky thump in what was thought to be a down year for the stripes. This list also show cases a good inclusion of Grinderman, and album that 10 years from now will be looked upon as a big moment; Its just too bad not all the wirte people got to here it.
