Like 2006, it's been another disappointing year. For me there hasn't been a single new band come through that I really liked. I'm not even feeling the new P. J. Harvey record! Two Gallants have a new LP coming out in a week and I'm a big fan of them and I've been listening to the Thurston Moore album ('Trees Out Side The Academy) quite a bit recently so perhaps things will change but my Top Ten, right now, would go something like this:

1 edgar ‘jones’ jones GETTIN’ A LITTLE HELP FROM THE JONSES
2 of montreal HISSING FAUNA, ARE YOU THE DESTROYER?
3 king creosote BOMBSHELL
4 richard swift DRESSED UP FOR THE LET DOWN
5 the white stripes ICKY THUMP
6 little barrie STAND YOUR GROUND
7 dinosaur jr. BEYOND
8 edwyn collins HOME AGAIN
9 explosions in the sky ALL OF A SUDDEN I MISS EVERYONE
10 wild billy childish PUNK ROCK AT THE BRITISH LEGION HALL

The National - Boxer
Asobi Seksu - Citrus (although it was out in 2006 in the US I believe)
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Interpol - Our Love to Admire
Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

although I'm not sure about what order.

 

[Albion]

The Coral - Roots and Echoes
The Good, the Bad and the Queen
Arcade Fire - Neon bible
Babyshambles - Shotter's Nation
P J Harvey - White chalk

 

[elain]

Another vote for Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

 

[Bluebirds]

Von Sudenfed- Tromatic Reflexions
The Good, The Bad & the Queen
Klaxons (if it did it come out in 2007?)
Damien Dempsey- To Hell Or Barbados (cheers- you know who you are!)
Super Furry Animals- Hey Venus

Looking forward to listening to the new PJ album but need a darkened room methinks.

And Radiohead?!?!?
