You Talk A Good Game

2007.

What can I say? It's been an amazing year for new music. I tend to think that most years but I think it's especially true this time.
I was going to attempt to make a list of my top 20 albums but that proved far too difficult so instead I present you with a top 10, that's in no particular order as i'm too damn indecisive. Followed by other note worthy releases of the '07.
here we go...

Wow, didn't realise there was so many. And I bet I've forgotten at least one or two albums that I really should have included but there you go. My favourite albums of 2007.

Any you haven't heard be sure to check them out. Every single one of them is a keeper.

Cheers.

I'm Nikki. Picked your blog up on a music journo community at LJ. And now I'm adding you.


Bright Eyes' "Cassadaga" was one of my biggest disappointments this year. I'd like to hear your defense of it.
