Default Best Tracks of 2007!

Thought that someone ought to finally make this thread, just cause there are always great songs to be found on truly average albums.

Alphabeat - Fascination

Asobi Seksu - Thursday/Strings/Nefi+Girly

Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend how to Dance with
You/Hurricane Jane (What more can anyone say about this band? Best EP of the year. Would be a sin not to hear these songs).

The Blow - Fists Up

Feist - So Sorry/The Limit to Your Love

Jens Lekman - Friday Night at the Drive-in Bingo (Story telling lyricist, great when his lyrics and music connects).

The Pipettes - Pull Shapes (I worry for this band, they have a couple of great songs, but the rest of their output seems a bit hacknyed, barely held up by the band's persona).

Sally Shapiro - I Know

The White Stripes - Rag and Bones

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Down Boy

Really Lena? You are All I Need? I love Nude, but I thought YAAIN was probably the weakest track on the album. I'd replace it with Weird Fishes.

I like All I Need too. Definately in my top half of tracks on the album. I think everybody has different favourites, which shows how strong the album is as a whole. House of Cards is probably my choice for weakest track.

Mmmm, I love the guitar in 15 Step. I thought it was weak for a Radiohead opener when I first heard it, but like everything from Radiohead's experimental era, it becomes perfect upon multiple listens.

House of Cards is amazing as well. Quite soothing. And I do enjoy You are All I Need, but it just sounds superficial for Thom Yorke.

But that's what makes it my favourite track on In Rainbows. Because it's not often Thom Yorke makes himself so vulnerable by daring to be a bit cliched—makes it a really human track for me, after the chills of hail to the thief, the eraser, amnesiac, kid a... well, everything since the bends.

I mean, my favourite radiohead songs are usually the scary, closed-off ones, but it's a lovely change of pace.

Darn it, every time I read about Radiohead I have to listen to them again for ten hours straight. Last night I stayed up until 4 just watching random Radiohead stuff on Youtube.

Great choices cjhobbies00! I like a lot of those songs.
I'm seeing both Feist and Jens Lekman in a month or so. And Arcade Fire tomorrow night! Yaaaaay!

And don't anyone hate on All I Need! That song gives me major chills.. the piano at the end <3
I love that whole album (and yeah, House of Cards is the weakest for me as well).

Lucky man! Despite what I think about Bible, I still think they are a great live band. And Feist??!! my god...

I should start exploring Radiohead, I remember listening to ok computer when I was 15 and not actually connecting with it, maybe it will this time around...
