The votes are in: DiS readers' top 25 of 2007

.

Im glad the readers have got more sense concerning The Twilight Sad than the writers.

...got round to listening to 'In Rainbows' this morning. Left me slightly cold. Maybe that was the frost. Oh, that was yesterday.

...agreed on Future of the Left!

i've found it's had more impact the more times i listen.

seriously though, i enjoy this list but
Neon Bible, A Weekend In The City and Your Favourite Worst Nightmare would've Never made this list if their predecessors weren't as good as they are.

to warrant such a matter-of-fact response!
anyway, the readers are just as clueless as the writers. useless bunch.

if i had voted, i still think it would be the same, only blonderedhead of my choices for this year would be up there.

cant remember

of Montreal deserve their top 10 placement.

i want to see the broader picture

You guys really think it's that good...? Come on...

Pish

Good to see the inevitable backlash has been surpassed by common sense, though it probably shouldnt have been No 1...

Though i think we were the only two

of the albums in the writers top 25 I hadn't heard that I've now heard (Animal Collective, Panda Bear and others), I don't like any of them.

Of the albums in Rock Sounds top 25 I hadn't heard before that I've now heard, I like all of them, Mewithoutyou's Brother, Sister and Baroness's The Red Album being particularly good.

When I saw the writer's list, the first thing I though was 'wow, this has been a really shit year for music that I like'. It hasn't, there's been loads of good stuff, not much of it's on this list though.

more that its the album that the most people would've known on the short list (with the added "credibility" that i'm sure many would criticise stuff like artic monkeys about). at the same time, its slightly unreasonable to expect everyone to have heard everything. its why i personally prefer the writers' list, since its a more informed set of choices (not that they're musically smarter, but more that they'd have heard all the records by nature of being a writer on the site). still a pretty good list anyhow

and released it under any other name, there is no way it would be considered the best thing released this year. Brand loyalty coming into play here a bit I think.

Don't we?

Radiohead... Quelle fucking surprise

blood red shoes?

ha

Anyone that thinks the Radiohead album is the best album of the year should have their ears chopped off and then forced to listen to Von Sudenfed.

They weren't on the shortlist.

They are great.

It's am amazing album!

yep.

it seems.

are miles off of being house music IMHO. House is often a more rigid, pounding type of music.

LCD's stuff is more instrument heavy, and harks more back to the days of New Order / 80's Bowie I'd argue.

Listening to Sound of Silver again. I like New Order/Bowie/Depeche Mode, but can't hear it as well in LCD as I do in other (probably more obvious) bands.

And what's with all the slighting of Neon Bible? Ties Battles for the top. Sorry Radiohead.

It's really close between the top 3 but at the moment In Rainbows is #1.

They are so extremely overrated, way out of place here. I guess that Radiohead are still the band that most people with a brain agree are good, and I doubt there's any user of this website that has not listened to In Rainbows. So the outcome follows naturally.

What I don't understand is what happened with BURIAL and HOLY FUCK, both great albums IMHO.

why everyone likes Neon Bibles, i think it's pretty rubbish. Also no Field Music upsets me.

do some people think that whenever radiohead are critisized, it's part of some 'inevitable' backlash. they really can do no wrong in their fans eyes can they. i think the album's 80% bland, 20% brilliance, and I don't think that because of some backlash.

so it's not a british thing. I voted for the shins, they did well.

um people who complain about the type of music on the list are forgetting what site they're on.

to see that klaxons aren't top, even though I love them

I voted for them. That album was amazing.

He even published via DiS! Wasn't his the best record?
C'mon: in rainbows is weak!
