A few notes on the Top 10 songs:
03. Some might argue that I should have waited until '08, when they drop their full length debut via XL. That song was just too good to wait a year to recognize.
06. I have a huge disdain for this album, yet last night I was having a conversation on the phone with someone about it and makes me want to revisit again because I find myself always defending three or four of it's songs. And I really like "The Moneymaker." It's no "Smoke Detector," though, I'll tell you that much.
10. I have to give the man some recognition somewhere. Sadly neither of his two Merge records, or umpteen other releases of 2007, make my Top 30. This is one of the best songs he's ever committed to tape.
And, as an early Christmas gift to you all, I encourage you to click here to download my Top 10 Songs of 2007 as a convenient Zip file. Put this list on your iPod, burn it as a CD and make it a stocking stuffer, hell, the best place to play it would be your New Year's party as you help send off 2007 in style. This won't be available forever, so download now. Link will expire on or before December 14.
Come back tomorrow when we continue this fun. Feel free to send in your Top 10 lists and if we get enough, I can make fun posts of them next week.
