So it's almost the end of the year, what are peoples' favourite songs/albums released in 2007? Just curious to see the choices.
I'm still thinking over mine, I'll stick them up soon :)
I think the only song I know for sure was an 07 song that I really like is Bruce Springsteen's Radio Nowhere
Favourite song: Apocalyptica - I'm not Jesus.
Whenever it plays on Winamp it makes me smile, not because it's touching or 'out, I just damn love it ^_^
Favourite album: The 69 Eyes - Angels
There hasn't been a Rasmus one out this year, I really dig The 69 Eyes's album, though.
Either Bleed It Out or What I've Done from Linkin Park: Minutes To Midnight.
Big props to Iceglow for supplying me with that until I had the cash to go out and get it.
Albums
Apocalyptica's World Collide and Megadeth's United Abominations
Songs
Apocalyptica's Grace and Megadeth's A Tout Le Monde (Set me free)
I don't really listen to anything "current" I guess, but I do indeed dig In Rainbows - Radiohead quite a bit.
Archangel - Burial. Only just discovered it today, but maaan.

Man, I haven't heard ANY of these. xP
Been a pretty quiet year for artist's I like releasing albums (Less the greatest Canadian band Rush), but I'll try to mustard up a list:
Rush - Snakes and Arrows
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall
Paul McCartney - Memory Almost Full
Gorillaz - D-Sides
Daft Punk - Alive 2007
Boy, been real quiet for me this year....
Oh yeah, Sevenfold have a new album out I still ain't bought. I'll have to try and get it in time for Christmas like I did with City Of Evil, then post about how awesome it is.
It'll be in this thread.
2004. Great album though.Quote:

Ugh, the new Mayhem album was so boring. Give me De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas or Wolf's Lair Abyss anyday.
The dethalbum.
And the best songs are probably "The Pretender" by the Foo Fighters and "Icky Thump" by the White Stripes.Quote:

I'm not sure about my favorite song, though.
Frank Zappa - Wazoo
This was recorded in 1972 but released this year. I must say, for something that was never released while he was alive, this is stunning, it's one of his best albums ever in my opinion, and much better than both his studio albums of the time (in 1972 with the same big band), Waka/Jawaka and the Grand Wazoo.
