2007: TOP 100 ALBUMS!

[YI]

Here we go again. Before I start the list (I know there's like 8 days left, but I more than likely wont be getting another album before the year's out) I will be posting a list of my top 25 songs of the year...maybe with a link for you to download them, depends how much attention mods actually pay to this topic.

Anyways...talk...speculate...discuss your favourites...whatever.

You can check out last years list;

A++, and I completely forgot that that came out last year for some reason.

[ROC]

Okay, okay, #1 is Arcade Fire and the other 99 are meaningless. List done.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully, you do not get my bout of severe laziness in finishing massive projects.

[IAceI]

Number 1: Stars of the Lid (still need that myself actually..), Weakerthans, AWS, Strung Out...

hmm... What could it be..

[Ash J. Williams]

If number one isn't "Somewhere In The Between" by Streetlight Manifesto I'm going to burn down your...something. "House" is FAR too extreme, being that this is just a top albums list.

I'll burn down your bedroom door. Suckah.

[IAceI]

That'll be top 5 I can almost guarantee it. But I'm convinced it'll be between SotL and SO for the top spot. With the Weakerthans somewhere in there too.

1. "Blackhawks over Los Angeles" Strung Out

2. "Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline" Stars of the Lid

3. "Reunion Tour" the Weakerthans

4. "Somewhere in the Between" Streetlight Manifesto

5. "Career Suicide" A Wilhelm Scream

I'm calling that.. Until someone mentions a band I forgot and then I'll readjust it.

I'm only putting that for when we inevitably don't make it to the Top 5.

[Bastard_Of_Bodom]

Pretty good list, good selection of metal espically Into Eternity. Don't know about the In Flames though. I would have put Dark Tranquillity "Fiction", Rise of the Tyrannt from Arch Enemy. I guess some found those albums to be hit and miss. But The Apostasy from Behemoth would have been on the list for sure. How was Ihsahn's album.......Emperor fucking rule

[Regia]

I expect a review of the facial hair as well

[Nerf]

It can't be a top 100 albums when I'd only heard of like 4 bands on last year's list.

[GA!]

It's not really a top 100 albums list, its a list to put over how YI is clearly better than everyone else as he listens to non-commercial bands. FIGHT THE POWER!

EDIT: I wonder if he'll swerve us all and have Alter Bridge at #1.

[Nerf]

Is this The Top 100 of 2007 or ever?

If ever ; if Too Fast For Love isn't included then this list loses all credibility.

Oh wait, it didn't have any credibility to begin with!

Edited December 24, 2007 by Nerf

[Steeb]

It's of 2007.

Disagree? Do your own.

[Nerf]

GA they're banding together. Save me!

[IAceI]

Yeah just of 2007. But I doubt it will even finish by 2009 so don't hold your breath >_<

And yeah, compile your own list of Top 100 albums for 2007 if you don't like this one. I would, but it takes too much effort, so I'll just whinge when this one inevitably has awesome bands too close to 100.

Like last year with Ryan's Hope, what a farce.

[Colly]

I tend to take it with a pinch of salt. To make this list we're talking comprehensively listening to roughly two albums per week just to actually get the 100. If this is a top 100 there really should be a few more that don't make the cut, therefore even more, with enough listening time to actually rank them. Unless you're still a lazy student lamo (oh, to be a lazy student lamo again...) with loads of time on your hands I just don't have the time for it. Plus either last year or the year before you had the Pipettes but not the Long Blondes, which is frankly like including North & South over Take That...

On the other hand you've got the Nobby avatar, and I do tend to find some good picks, so I'll give it a glance anyway...

If you do that you can enjoy a warning and maybe suspension

[IAceI]

Good to see one or two rules are still enforced at least :-\

You mean the rules that could get us removed from our host? Yeah, we do tend to enforce those that keep EWB around.

[IAceI]

How likely would they find out anyways? Unless someone rat us out again.

Although how would we all cope in a life without EWB? Looking through the "what did you get for Christmas" thread shows how pathetic everyone is to be fair.

Well Kou would go to 4chan more. I think I'd just play more video games. I'm not sure about everyone else.

Also, instead of getting EWB in possible trouble, would you mind hitting me up on AIM or MSN YI? Of course just to talk, and share songs we already both own.
