DiS's albums of 2007: reader voting is now open!

Apart from that, good list

Would have added:

Trembling Blue Stars: The Last Holy Writer (don't think it was reviewed)

Low: Drums & Guns

Grinderman: Grinderman

2007 has been a very good year for albums, apart from the UK, which has been a tad lacklustre

Just missing Asobi Seksu, Bright Eyes & The Decemberists (although, I suppose, technically, it did come out last year).

DiS is dead to me

The Field
Blitzen Trapper
Matthew Dear

as well...

you haven't included The Twang... I'm well pissed off now, and on a Friday of all days.

I own three, but I'm not voting for Maccabees.

Anyhoo, I'd have liked to have voted for Good Shoes, Willy Mason, Brand New and Dive Dive. Still, who cares, eh?

No El-Producto, No Burial?
Review Burial!!!

the lack of epic45 on this list makes it redundant. kinda surprised given that you gave it a 9/10!

for including mathew sawyer

that i've listened to a grand total of 6 of the albums on that list?

in the list although I'd have probably swapped Air Formation, Kubichek and Shady Bard's albums for The Cribs, Bloc Party and Modest Mouse efforts.

etc.

dom on the lack of Kubichek. Also, the lack of Maximo Park, even in the nearly list, is disappointing.

But I am also musing on the missingness of the ace LPs by Charlotte Hatherley and yourcodenameis;milo

Bugger!

I like it, a lot.
Good Arrows made it through to our second-to-last stage of filtering the 50 down.
But there's only room for so many. And some have gotta be missed off.

5 from that list as there is no Biffy and no Kings of Leon. Which is a shame.

your missing 65dos!

other than that good list, prefer the end of year lists where you dont know many of the albums, gives you something to spend the inevitable HMV vouchers on after christmas

how strange..

cah!

By my reckoning, Dragonfly and Murderer are two of the best songs in the entire world ever, let alone in Low's back catalogue. Hmm. This must be this "opinion" thing I'm hearing so much about...

But a pair of songs an album do not make.

(Be fair: all of Low's songs are beautiful.)

"A reader-voted top ten will run the week beginning December 10"

Drums & Guns is still clearly a nine-out-of-tenner, if you ask me. Oh, you didn't?

I grant you, it's marred only slightly by the forgettable Dust on the window and Hatchet (which, I reckon, would sound out of place on any Low album). I still listen to it about twice a week, though.

By contrast, less than a month after its release, I'd actually forgotten Radiohead had released anything recently. Hmm.

Didn't evan make the final hurdle! Ouch

and it's definitely not my album of the year (Mirrored). Where's ETID? That got 9/10! Where's Brand New? Where's all the interesting albums that aren't Bloc Party or Arcade Fire?

I voted for my 5, it was pretty hard to choose... wasn't the list choosen by members in a topic a while back?

but would only consider !!! or Battles to be in my top 5. would've voted for 65Dos mind. enjoy the list (Y).

Wot, no 'Blackout'?

In fact, 'Blackout' is so good, I felt the need to comment on its absence twice.

was my favourite album of the year.

and the racoo-oo-oon album should be there...

what the hell?

Sorry but Good shoes???? Great album, kicks ass over the ear splittingly rubbishly average and annoying CRIBS! Hecksville. The five o'clock heroes! totally breathtakingly fantastically stupendous in every way, tune after tune after tune.
Well its not my call but 80% of the albums there don't even ring a bell let alone make me wanna vote for em! I just did PJ Harvey, Radiohead, Arcade fire and some other stuff. Am i ignorant? Or is everybody else pretending they've got 90% of these albums?

Funny how EITS barely missed the cut but Low didn't even make it that far.

Shame on you!

... hello???

(and broken family band, trembling blue stars and yes boss would be on my list too)

could've done with a mention

and Sir Richard Bishop

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

no bat for lashes?

are LOW!

LOL

Britney?!?!?!

Seriously though where is Modest Mouse?

beat Shellac! get a grip you feeble eared freaks.
Lekman is the only decent one here. MIA and the sea and cake are in my worst of the year so far.

i hav to say that for me its not enough night by kubichek...

criminal that its not on the list, but if the list was compiled by the reviewers on here it doesnt suprise me

craigx

Is it actually out in this country? I don't know, but it should be up there. The Field too- they're the two biggest misses. Would have been nice to see Frog Eyes at least in the top 50 as well.

It was £6.97 in Woolworths :imsocool:

Tones of Town and White Chalk are on the the to-buy list though.

point

I vote for MMISL 5 times, even though they didnt make the 50.

I refuse to vote for anything else.

The Last Holy Writer is possibly their best album - it's worth making the 50 for A Statue To Wilde alone.
Also missing are:

Bearsuit - Oh:Io
Napoleon IIIrd - In Debt To
Bjork - Volta

Oh, and loads of others.

the new Marx

How did I forget Variations on Swing? That's definitely my album of the year.

Deerhoof, Deerhunter, Dan Deacon, Dirty Projectors, Do Make Say Think. How weird...

they fell before the first hurdle? or were there steroids involved?

panda bear
blonde redhead
les savy fav
of montreal
animal collective

even that was hard

maps and caribou??

I'll sleep when your dead needs to be on that list

Biffy Clyro - Puzzle
Circa Survive - On Letting Go
Dartz! - This Is My Ship
Die! Die! Die! - Promises Promises
The Fall Of Troy - Manipulator
The Go! Team - Proof Of Youth
Hell Is For Heroes - Hell Is For Heroes
Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light
Meet Me In St Louis - Variations On Swing
Oceansize - Frames
Reuben - In Nothing We Trust
Tellison - Contact! Contact!

:)

i would have voted for digitalism and explosions in the sky... if they were there

...same with any piece like this, but we have to draw a line somewhere. Fifty seems neat enough.

It's what you DO vote for that's important. If people can't find records in that 50 that they like enough to vote for then something is seriously wrong with them... or, rather, I'd at least question what they're doing on this site ;o)

mx

(I think)

to music this year.

i have heard a total of 9 of these albums. and there's only one i've played enough to get into. there are even 3 i've never heard of...

i probably shouldnt vote until i've listened to more of them. or just vote for lcd soundsystem and nothing else...

I had to go for Klaxons but only by default because nothing else was there.

No Rakes?

No Puressence?

No BRMC?

No Enemey?

No NYPC?

No CSS?

No Hawley?

Poor effort compilers.

It looks like an NME end of year list - Klaxons, Cribs, Arctic Monkeys, a few token hip-hop and slightly left field albums and hey presto. Any top 50 that ignores Robert Wyatt isn't worth printing. Shambles.

i agree.

No Okkervil River? Really?
I would have put Iron & Wine in for sure aswell.

Sorry to see Wilco not on the list. And to omit Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is just wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

Low
No Age
Dan Deacon
Dragon Or Emperor
Stars Of The Lid
John Wiese
Scout Niblett
James Blackshaw

Hmm.

Arcade Fire, Beirut, Efterklang, The National, Jens Lekman.
So unsurprisingly them chaps get my votes.
I've got about 40 albums from this year, so that's impressive that I could amost compile my own top 50 (which, other than the five above, wouldn't be from this list).

Loney, Dear and Múm are the only two others that I like that I could have hoped this site would have chosen also.

Slaraffenland, Motifs, Bowerbirds, Breathe Owl Breathe, Shugo Tokumaru, Gareth S. Brown, Paul Duncan, Benni Hemm Hemm, Bodies Of Water, and The Real Tuesday Weld are ten more great albums that I loved lots this year, and probably weren't even in DiS's top 100/200, which is a shame.

Still, I guess I should be happy that I love 5 of the albums here (well, 4, am undecided about Jens Lekman still), any of which I'd like to win, for all being pretty darn cool.

But where is the Scouting For Girls album? Jo Wiley hasnt said any of the artists you wierdos are talking about are good; therefore they aren't. Losers.

I think Biffy and Interpol should have made this list. Also, Ryan Adams new full length is fantastic.

.....................................

Another album I feel should have been on there. Loney, noir has not been off my rotation of music since I got it on release.

MUCH better than this sappy indie uberscene bollocks of a list that we have to chose from (bar Field Music).

REALLY?

Meneguar
Damezumari/Fire Team Charlie split
Daniel Striped Tiger
Funeral Diner
Goldmund
By The End of Tonight/Tera Melos split
The Drift

Probably more.

Burial - Untrue

has something against her. It's the only explanation. Her album came out in February, and it still hasn't been reviewed. Easily amongst the best of the year...

No Age IS there.

My bad :-P

*votes*

Their album was fantastic.

Also..erm...Bright Eyes? I thought DiS loved them. And anyway, Cassadaga is one of my albums of the year.

Just thought I'd see what happened answer was not much!

Then Jeffrey Lewis.
Then Devendra Banhart.

MYTH TAKES??????????????????

as you were only doing 50, but why only do 50 then?

My Top 5 is probably

Battles
Of Montreal
Aereogramme
Tellison
!!!

with honourable mentions to Biffy, 65, Holy Fuck, MMISL, Dartz and The Go! Team.

there'll be a more democratic DiS users top 50 though i'm sure. there always is!

weres the new Dirty Projectors cd????

??????????????????????????????????????????

Apart from DALEK, BATTLES and THE NATIONAL, I would add DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN (which you put on your bottom list) and El-P

Daddy's Hands. was that even considered at all, at the start???????

No Fog.
No Low.
No Burial.

=> No vote.

One: No Nine Inch Nails? Reznor's best since The Downward Spiral gets no mention at all? Fuck that.

Two: PJ Harvey's White Chalk is an experiment in seeing what shit die-hard fans will put up with. It's unlistenable, unmemorable demo-fodder bullshit.

Three: Did Fields' album come out last year? I forget. It was good though - despite the critical backlash at their audacity for embracing production values. Either way, it's not on the list.

This isn't terribly conducive to voting, DIS chaps.

and what about Maps and maybe even Ulrich Schnauss?

should be on there, I know it was last year

i'm going to pay more attention to the results of the music board album poll.

No Bearsuit!
No Menomena!
etc.

boxer would have been in my top 5

NO Robert Wyatt
NO Bjork
NO Loney Dear
NO New Pornographers
NO Burial
NO Menomena
NO Iron and Wine
NO Sunset Rubdown...

These should all have been in the list...

My top 5 would prob be

1. Robert Wyatt- Comicopera
2. Panda Bear-Person Pitch
3. The National- Boxer
4. Andrew Bird
5. Bjork....

Any list of 50 best albums without wyatt is so wrong it isnt even funny....Album of the year by a country mile

saying that, a weekend in the city was my fav album of the year.
shame that patrick wolf was left out. ans the dykeenies.

Where the hell is maps and kubichek? seriously, thats a disgrace.

January was its UK release.

Just stupid.
As are many of these other comments.
Yes, we're acutely aware that there are dozens of albums not available for voting.
Yes, we understand that you disagree with some of the shortlisted albums.
Fact is: all 50 got great reviews here.
All 50 were loved enough, passionately, but enough of the DiS team to make the cut.
A lot of these 'blah blah is missing' posts forgets that we have to strike a degree of balance between the obscure (just how many people, REALLY, would have voted for Marnie Stern? That album is festering wank anyhoooo) and the mainstream=bothering obvious.
SO: We have some from A and some from B.
And a few middle grounders.
We have to choose our niche t'ings carefully so as not to imbalance the whole thing: Justice over SMD, etc.
If you compare this shortlist to any other year's, it's the most diverse yet. Comments about Q and NME, as much as I'd like for them to be true (i.e. that both publications were as open minded as we are), it simply is not. You think NME are gonna have dalek as one of their albums of the year? Sheeesh!

If you can't find owt to vote for: sorry. If you can: bravo, into our competition you go.

There will be an editorial ranking soon.
There will be the result of this.
You wanna open it up to any album released in 2007 and make the time to add up all the votes (time we certainly do not have!), please feel free to do it. Happens every year anyway so quit moaning.

(PS: I love this list. Although I'd have squeezed in El-P and Dillinger, and maybe MMISL too, if circumstances allowed...)

...BP just happen to have a single out next week.

Avant-folk rappers?
;o)

very difficult to choose 5 albums from the above list as the majority do simply not represent the given artists best work (Sea & Cake, Blonde Redhead, Electrelane and Liars have all recorded much better albums in the past) or indie MOR representations (Jamie T, Bloc Party, Klaxons et al), while at the same time so many really good records released in 2007 have been left off. Without even thinking very hard about it Marissa Nadler, Tom Brosseau, Barr, Shannon Wright, Great Lake Swimmers, Thee Stranded Horse and Enon spring to mind, as well as many others mentioned in the comments above.

Andrew Bird, Battles, Grinderman, No Age and Panda Bear get the vote but properly only 2 of these would end up in my personal top 10 for 2007.

the national, battles, lcd soundsystem, the shins and arctic monkeys get my vote

i'm just suprised

I myself am actually struggling with the album at the moment, and am listening to 'Debut' and 'Post' alot due to this.

prinzhorns debut album should be on there! good to see grinderman on there though...

The Cribs - Kubichek!?

Justice - Simian Mobile Disco?

Klaxons - A Sunny Day in Glasgow?

Jamie T - Kevin Drew?

has not been included because no review from the album exists on this site.

No scrobble, no look in apparently.

It's still my number one. Is it entirely out of the question to throw up a late addition (review wise) for the purpose of the voting system?

2007 has been a year of disappointments from my favourite artists but Bjork is right up at the top. Having said that a bad Bjork album is still significantly better than most albums so it should be in the top 50. Tricky one.

MINUS THE BEAR!?

is exactly why such polls are always compromised from the beginning. Making concessions to the mainstream (making any concessions) is not about excellence and leads to a watering down the field, so to speak. It's the same logic that leads to record companies pouring so much money into Coldplay and Keane.

Whilst I appreciate that dubstep's not primarily an album genre, the fact that it's one of the big musical successes of the last year (even Observer Music
Monthly's been writing about it)

I have, of course, been a little contradictory here. If compilers shouldn't make a concession to the mainstream then they shouldn't make any concession to 'political correctness', should you want to call it that, and include albums by black artists if they don't feel they're good enough. That said, I'm adamant that there are enough incredible albums by black artists this year- which would appeal to DiS' readership- which have been overlooked, and that's a crying shame.

Where is the last fall album?

it's a 2006 album.

i own 33 of the ones in the main list and 12 in the 'nearly included' list so this is really difficult. i think joanna newsom and the ys street band should be allowed in even though it is only an ep just because it was so amazing.and 65dos and el-p should definitely be there but you cant have everything.im voting:

arcade fire
battles
blonde redhead
m.i.a.
of montreal

although i really want to vote andrew bird aswell

yes it was last year, but they should get an honorable mention every year because they kick ass with big sticks

Either I've been putting more effort in or 2007 has been a year of some great albums, here's my top 12....

[1] - LCD Soundsystem - Sounds of silver
[2] - Radiohead - In Rainbows
[3] - The Field - From here we go sublime
[4] - Battles - Mirrored
[5] - Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
[6] - Gui Boratto - Chromophobia
[7] - Arctic Monkeys - Favorite Worst Nightmare
[8] - Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
[9] - QOTSA - Era Vulgaris
[10] - Modeselektor - Happy Birthday!
[11] - Deerhunter - Cryptograms
[12] - M.I.A. - Kala

Thanks.

Though I'd slide !!!, FOTL and Rihanna in there...

An obvious error, like you leaving them out.

Checks URL..., As I suspected, this is not NME.com. Why does this list read as such?

I see a distinct lack of Reuben, Melt-Banana, 65dos, Jesu etc.

Carry on though =\

The cribs was best by far track by track flawless.
Done

Should have been on the shortlist I think, along with Low. Jeffrey Lewis, Bjork and Okkervil River as well.

It's been an amazing year for albums in general though.

drums and guns is unbelievable. belarus would make me weep if i wasnt so fuckin hard.

I have only heard cuts from some of the others and otherwise not at all.

would have got my vote too :(

On a sheer statistical front, metacritic states it to be on average the best reviewed album of the year, i find it silly that it is not on there. Amongst a few others, but yeah, mainly the field. Ridic.

i'd forgotten how much good stuff had come out this year til i read this, i have 16 of the main list, still intend to pick up a few of the others, and found myself agreeing with a large number of the should've-been-there's: shellac, DMST, bjork, menomena, interpol, enon, spoon, mice parade, dirty projectors, akron/family, pissed jeans...
so, yeah. a lot of good albums in 2007!

Also David Kilgour and Caribou

avett brothers - emotionalism - album of the year 2007 hands bloody down

cheers

yes indeed. probably in my top 3, is "happy birthday."

Suprised that was left out, its a top album!also, cassadaga by bright eyes is good and fionn regan too!

would have liked to have seen...
Parts + Labor
Matthew Dear
Scout Niblett

but otherwise it's cool. Strawberry Jam gets my vote.

thrice- the alchemy index vol's one and two,

bjork- volta,

the smashing pumpkins- zeitgeist,

air- pocket symphony,

nine inch nails- year zero,

tegan and sara- the con,

Why the devil are Shady Bard not on there?!!!

Respect!

Grinderman everyone vote

And I like the way the voting thing works. I reckon next year though if you increased it to 100 albums then you'd put an end to most of this hilarious moaning

That said, I would've had The Field, Digitalism and Maps in there ;)

david vandervelde
cold war kids
caribou
arthur & yu
felice brothers
soulsavers

Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris (arguably their second best album)

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81 (Personally, I think it's their best along with Howl)

Ween - La Cucaracha (Another great addition to their consistent discography)

Spoon - Ga ga ga ga ga (Just as good as Girls Can Tell, which is saying alot)

OMG why is the DiS top 50 not exactly the same as my personal top 50??!?1 IT'S A TRAVESTY. i mean, it's like the list is based on SUBJECTIVE OPINION or something ridiculous like that. seriously DiS, WTF.
also, i think the voting system may be a bit screwed up, as yesterday it was letting me vote for things multiple times :D

Sunset Rubdown, Menomena, The Apples In Stereo, Frog Eyes and Okkervil River.

where is,

kings of leon - "because of the times"
shout out louds - "our ill wills"
the thrills - "teenager"
figurines - "when the deer wore blue"
taken by trees - "open field"

???

I prefer Arular to Kala. But M.I.A. is fucking amazing. I really like All My Friends but can't really get into the rest of Sound of Silence. And the Simian Mobile Disco album is superior to Justice's, by a mile.

I'll prepare he witch-hunt

Yes!!

I didn't vote for anything.
I own the Bloc Party, Modest Mouse and Twilight Sad albums but I haven't heard enough to vote, really.

I would of liked to of seen:
Citrus- Asobi Seksu
Planet Of Ice- Minus The Bear

I couldn't understand:
A Weekend In The City- Bloc Party
Neon Bible- Arcade Fire
Favourite Worst Nightmare- Arctic Monkeys

The 1st two were probablly put in there for their debut albums, (sub-conscience love for their previous efforts got them in there).

Also I think the FOTL album is so over-rated.

Only my opinion though.

i like this list, nice balance of hoodoo from every which where, nothing really seems to be blatantly missing, apart from one thing which niggles my mind

New Moon by elliott smith has to be one the albums of the year, yet it isn't here, and he really should be, but he isn't.

i heard talk about clipse's album only being included in this list because it had a january uk release date. why isn't new moon included? is it because said album is a b-sides and rarities and demos compilation, and thus doesn't really qualify as an album? or is it because he's dead?

of course i respect that you lot must have had a difficult time narrowing down the list, but i do genuinely believe that Elliott Smith should be up there somewhere on that list. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

...beats this year's Spoon, Kevin Drew, Portugal. The Man or even Interpol. Damn, you've made me vote for Klaxons.

5. Panda Bear
4. Radiohead
3. Battles
2. Of Montreal
1. LCD Soundsystem

Would have voted for:
Frog Eyes!!!

Tomahawk's Anonymous album should be on this list.

Where's fucking Burial...clearly album of the year...

- Bjork's "Volta"
- Saul Williams "Niggy Tardust"

Was released just after this list. Maybe that qualifies it for next years?

in the skip round t'back

Pretty much all my favourite albums this year failed to make the list...Patrick Wolf, Interpol, iLiKETRAiNS etc. Alas.

obviously.

Boss is my dark horse for album of the year.

have put Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos on the short list but I suppose irony-free prog metal isnt everyone's cup of tea.

Where is it??? You bloody fools!!
Also The Field is not only good enough to make the Top 50, it's good enough to make the Top 3!
The Cribs??? Thou art having a laugh. Why not put Mika in there while you're at it?
x

burial, burial, burial, burial.

clipse was in my 2006 list.

would have been good

why is there not a single rock album in this 'list'?

this list is so meh

...no The Good, The Bad & The Queen, no Caribou, no DJ Mehdi, no BRMC? They're definitely all worthy of their place in the final fifty.

At least BOTH Panda Bear and Animal Collective were included, a lot of these end-of-year polls would rule one of them out.

It should be there

Is it just me, or did anyone else go boss-eyed whilst voting. Several of the voting keys didn't seem to be alligned properly. Hope I voted for the right albums.
Sad to see Kristin Hersh- Learn to sing like a star, was not even an also ran. Okkervil River and Iron & Wine would also have been in my top 5. Great year for music though! There sadly seems to be a lack of original British talent coming through, which is a shame.

My favourite album of the year was without a doubt
PICTURES OF THE OTHER SIDE, GARETH GATES but I fear that the only tracks on this album heard by the general public are Angel on my shoulder and Changes. Not a true reflection of the album as there are a lot of upbeat numbers on there. Without radio aire play an album cannot get in the top 10

To choose the twenty records that followed us the most during 2007 wasn`t an easy task. To make things even more scarry, there were knowledges that pass right through us, parties for wich we weren`t invited, circles of sound that we didn`t have the luck to devour with our imagination. Anyway, Fusco reveals the twenty goodfellas of a year made of good surprises.

http://fusco-lusco.blogspot.com

^ was last year

lots of people have mentioned Okkervil River, The Besnard Lakes and Marissa Nadler and i agree, so i won't mention them again, oh sorry just did, but i cannot believe that nobody, nobody mentioned the genuinely incredible Nina Nastasia & Jim White album 'You Follow Me'. it is really beautiful, awesome drumming, great talents, sadly forgotten again. oh well. nice to see someone mention another oft-ignored fav of mine Kristin Hersh, another fine album dismissed, thats the price she pays for consistantly putting out great albums, she's completely taken for granted.

I went for The Shins. Notable albums of the year for me are The Maccabees, St Vincent, The Argonauts and Of Montreal

The DiS readership appears to be focused on mostly 'white' artists. And, no - it's important for no-one to not be tokenistic under any circumstances whatsoever.

So I voted for MIA, Arctic Monks and LCD. If Dizzee and QOTSA had made it in - they would've got me other 2 votes.

On the plus side, at least the list gives me the opportunity to explore som artists that I might, as yet, not have time to hear.

The Cribs - MNWNW is a fantastic album and the Jarman brothers have clearly stepped up their game musically and lyrically. I can almost guarantee you haven't heard the album because that seems to be the ignorant thing to do lately, hear about a band, realise the NME like them, claim they're shit etc. Be Safe alone is the best song of 2007.

love maps :)

this.

Man, half of these are on by hype alone.
Modest Mouse got a 7---on the list.
Spoon got a 9---not on the list. hmmm...

Other omissions:
Menomena
St. Vincent
Besnard Lakes
Iron & Wine
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

No Queens of The Stone Age or Nine Inch Nails?
