Its there only effort period in a very long time, first album in what 30 years something like that.

There is tons of great music around, not stuff you will hear on everyday radio if that is what you are lalking about. But if you look around on open up there is lots of great stuff IMO.

As promised. Predictably enough I got carried away.

Disc 1

These are songs from my favourite albums of the year, which, coincidentally, are also some of my favourite songs of the year. I'd write a bit long description or comment for each track but I just don't care enough to bother. Basically Pinback, Andrew Bird, The National, Okkervil River, and Spoon released the best albums of 2007 as far as my ears are concerned.

1. Queens Of The Stone Age - Turnin' On The Screw
2. Joel Plaskett Emergency - Drunk Teenagers
3. Okkervil River - Unless It's Kicks
4. Shearwater - Seventy-Four Seventy Five
5. Patrick Wolf - Overture
6. Andrew Bird - Imitosis
7. Menomena - Muscle n' Flo
8. Buck 65 - 1957
9. Sage Francis - Clickety Clack
10. The Cooper Temple Clause - Head
11. Soulsavers - Revival
12. Sea Wolf - Black Dirt
13. Amos The Transparent - It's A Beautiful Life
14. Iron & Wine - The Devil Never Sleeps
15. Alberta Cross - Old Man Chicago
16. Josh Ritter - Mind's Eye
17. Spoon - Rhythm & Soul
18. The National - Mistaken For Strangers
19. St. Vincent - The Apocalypse Song
20. The Weakerthans - Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure
21. Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs

Disc 2

Songs from albums I liked a lot/think sounded really good but didn't have enough time to properly listen to, or ones that are so strong that they overcame a relatively weak album (see: Finger Eleven). Some of these could have easily been bumped up a notch if there had been more room.

1. Stars - Division
2. Jens Lekman - The Opposite Of Hallelujah
3. Beirut - Nantes
4. Frightened Rabbit - Be Less Rude
5. Two Hours Traffic - Stuck For The Summer
6. Division Day - Ricky
7. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Weapon Of Choice
8. Dizzee Rascal - Sirens
9. Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
10. Subtle - Deathful
11. Radiohead - Down Is The New Up
12. Blonde Redhead - SW
13. Neverending White Lights - Miss World
14. Apostle of Hustle - Chances Are
15. Gogol Bordello - Harem In Tuscany (Taranta)
16. Cuff the Duke - Remember the Good Times
17. Brian Byrne - Crazy
18. The Sadies - What's Left Behind
19. Over The Rhine - Entertaining Thoughts
20. Wintersleep - Dead Letter & the Infinite Yes
21. Raising The Fawn - Cypress Fields
22. Finger Eleven - Them Vs. You Vs. Me

Disc 3

Really good songs from albums that were alright, excellent singles with less good albums, good singles that didn't actually have albums, songs from albums that sounded good but I really didn't have time to properly listen to, and guilty pleasures.

1. Headland - Monster In A Shirt
2. Idlewild - No Emotion
3. David Usher - Ugly Is Beautiful
4. Caribou - Melody Day
5. Kevin Drew - Tbtf
6. The Acorn - Low Gravity
7. Band of Horses - The General Specific
8. The Sea and Cake - Up On Crutches
9. Great Lake Swimmers - Your Rocky Spine
10. SJ Esau - Cat Track (He Has No Balls)
11. Raine Maida - Careful What You Wish For
12. Sebastien Grainger - Are There Ways to Come Home?
13. Enon - Mr. Ratatatatat
14. The Rosebuds - Cemetery Lawn
15. Ken Andrews - Secret Things
16. UNKLE - Mistress
17. Holy Fuck - Lovely Allen
18. The Twilight Sad - Talking With Fireworks
19. Basia Bulat - Snakes and Ladders
20. Maroon 5 - Losing My Mind
21. Miracle Fortress - This Thing About You
22. Fields - Parasite

Giant ZIP file with all tracks

If you're feeling ballsy you might as well take everything at once. Hell, I'd recommend it, it's all good stuff as far as I'm concerned. There were a few songs that were cut or replaced with shorter songs due to space concerns, but I think I did a pretty good job reflecting what I thought was awesome to listen to in 2007.

PS: thank you guys for suggesting a bunch of this stuff. I found loads with the help of this thread!
