December 31, 200718 yr Author great countdown... maybe next year i'll buy enough albums that i'll be able to make a list!:lol: One of these days I really ought to introduce you all to my secret weapon- a yahoo subscription. (Napster works too) Instant access to almost anything for less than one album costs... I've been averaging about 5 new albums a week for the last 6 months or so. Good for those who don't like to download.
December 31, 200718 yr Author I wish I could have been around for the countdown. I was happy that Young Galaxy got so high on the list since I'm a huge fan. No surprise at all that In Rainbows cleaned house, that Arcade Fire was second, and Travis third. I was a little surprised however at Interpol and Editors being high because I don't think they were top 5 material. Arts&Crafts definitely had an awesome year. So many awesome artists releasing awesome albums. I encourage people to go on to the label's website and check out ALL their artists. Where were you anyway? :P But thanks again for looking up all the videos. Definatly agreed about arts and crafts. But I do think the twins deserved the recognition. That was the Interpol album where I finally 'got' them- I hadn't before now, and I don't think there was anything that soared quite like the Editors album did. It was massive in the best way possible. :nice:
December 31, 200718 yr I went to a Mooseheads game, then hung out with some friends haha. Yeah I don't know, I really like Interpol and Editors, I just didn't enjoy the albums as much as I thought I would. I think just all the "new" music I discovered this year was just so exciting to me, and some of the older bands I loved were kind of put on the back burner.
December 31, 200718 yr Erin thanks a lot for that. You did a great job! :) I'm only disappointed EITS couldn't get into the top 10 and Okkervil River into the top 20. Oh well..
December 31, 200718 yr Yeah, sorry for the slow pace... my brain seems to have started to melt. :\ (How the hooey DID Nik do this so well anyway...) ah, don't worry, it's ok! you've done an excellent job! :nice: 11.

December 31, 200718 yr Author great countdown, thanks! :D Thanks Ian :nice: and thanks for the publicity.
December 31, 200718 yr Pah! Anyone coulda guessed the top three! It's Coldplaying! :) I still think Arcade Fire should have been #1 though. And Modest Mouse should have been MUCH MUCH higher. Other than that, though, phenomenal countdown. AWESOME JOB!
December 31, 200718 yr Pah! Anyone coulda guessed the top three! It's Coldplaying! :) I still think Arcade Fire should have been #1 though. And Modest Mouse should have been MUCH MUCH higher. Other than that, though, phenomenal countdown. AWESOME JOB! I think if MM album had been released later on in the year it would be much higher, but it sort of just died out. I love the album, I just find it a little too long.
December 31, 200718 yr Gruff Rhys's Candylion should have been higher, but it was released the first couple weeks of january, so a lot of people have forgotten about it's greatness, including it's 14 minutes epic last track.
January 1, 200818 yr Yay Radiohead! (I'm still waiting for the CD in the mail though, along with four others:angry:, stupid music store)

February 16, 200818 yr Author Glad you liked it. *bows* Apologies that it took so long. There are lots of little loose ends to tie off and bits to clean up, but they will have to wait for tomorrow. So on the to do list- this years ineligable releases, finish links, post the master list, and fix that video that doesn't work... anything else? I really need to actually do that sometime, don't I...
