Cactus Cafe Top Ten Albums 2007

1. Bloc Party: A Weekend in the City
2. LCD Soundsystem: Sound of Silver
3: Radiohead: In Rainbows
4. White Stripes: Icky Thump
5. Daft Punk: Alive 2007 (yes, it's a live album, I'm petitioning it to be allowed since it's not just a rehashed performance, but essentially new music the way they blend their songs. Either way, you should listen to this CD)
6. Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
7. Kanye West- Graduation
8. Interpol- Our Love to Admire
9. The National: Boxer
10. Band of Horses- Cease to Begin

honorable mention: Teddybears
 
Ok, I finally figured this out.

I wanted to put LCD soundsystem, Of Montreal, and Feist on there badly, but thought all these records were stronger.

I definitely agree with the poster that said this was a year that produced a ton of very solid records - but I'm not sure any 'great' ones.

1. The National: Boxer
2. Radiohead: In Rainbows
3. Battles: Mirroed
4. Band of Horses: Cease to Begin
5. Field: From Here We Go Sublime
6. St. Vincent: Marry Me
7. Kanye West: Graduation
8. Spoon: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
9. Wilco: Sky Blue Sky
10. Aqualung: Memory Man
 
here's mine:

1.Radiohead - In Rainbows
The National - Boxer
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Interpol - Our Love to Admire
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
10. Menomena - Friend and Foe

honorable mention:
Bloc Party - Weekend in the City
Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future
Okkervil River - The Stage Names
Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs
Tegan and Sara - The Con

I've heard great things about Wilco's album but haven't gotten to it yet. I have a feeling Of Montreal's latest would have made my list had I listened to more tracks. Oh well.
