2007 was a ridiculous year for music that I like. For a few years I had complained excessively that many of my favorite bands (especially those from the West Coast) were either broken up or in the process of breaking up...or going on hiatus, or being attacked by bears. Suddently, that trend reversed its self in 2007, as more than a dozen of my favorite bands released albums that either met or exceeded my expectations (and a few others that didn't, but still I'm not complaining). Any of these bands or albums are worth several listens. A couple of them are playing tomorrow night in San Antonio: Portugal. The Man and the RX Bandits (who are currently my second favorite active band now that Slick Shoes has reunited...which deserves a post of its own).
List of 2007 albums that I enjoyed (I might miss a couple):
Comeback Kid - Broadcasting
Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone (5)
The Fall of Troy - Manipulator
Interpol - Our Love to Admire
Jimmy Eat World - Chase this Light
Meryll - Happened
Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice
Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs (4)
Portugal. The Man - Church Mouth
RX Bandits - ...And the Battle Begun (1)
Spoon- Ga Ga Ga Ga
Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere in the Between
This Will Destroy You - Self Titled (2)
The Weakerthans - Reunion Tour (3)
So far in the year 2008 my favorite album has been the new Driver F album: Chase the White Whale. These guys are from Austin, their music is upbeat their live show is solid and their first full-length album is very enjoyable and repeatable. I like these guys and I hope they can be successful and make a living doing what they do well.
I'm sure that I will think of more that I liked over the next few days and I'll update this list.
