| Best of 2007 (Part 1) |
[Dec. 28th, 2007|04:51 pm] |
My top 10 albums of 2007 will be posted here in the coming weeks (I'm still trying to give a couple of recent releases a chance to close in the home stretch). In the meantime, I've compiled a two CD set of some of my favorite songs from this year. There are 36 songs featured in all, and both discs fit on a standard 80 minute CD with gapless playback. No artist or album was featured twice so it provides a pretty diverse selection of music released this year. Please note that these are not in a ranking order, only in the order that I believe creates the best listening experience. Here they are:
DISC 1
1.) Humble Peasants - The Most Serene Republic from Population 2.) The Object Of My Affection- Peter Bjorn And John from Writer's Block 3.) You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told) - The White Stripes from Icky Thump 4.) Is There A Ghost - Band Of Horses from Cease To Begin 5.)
