Top 5 fave albums released in '07.

[Socializard]

1. radiohead- in rainbows
2. panda bear-person pitch
3. black moth super rainbow- dandelion gum
4. benoit pioulard- precis
5. joanna newsom and the ys street band ep

[Alan Alda]

Hmmm.

1) Icky Thump = White Stripes
2) Across the Universe = movie soundtrack/various artists
3) Twelve = Patti Smith
4) All that keeps us from giving up = Get Well Soon (sadly only four tracks long at iTunes)
5) Raising Sand = Alison Krauss/Robert Plant

Fave just 'discovered' artist is Chuck Prophet.
He has a 2007 release (Soap and Water) which is fine. But I think the older, "Homemade Blood" is better.
