Albums Of The Year 2007

A fair few bloggers have compiled their
lists of the best releases of the past 12
months, many no doubt agonising over what to
include and what to leave out. A bit easier for
me, I have to say, as my Top 5 goes like this:
1. Sky Blue Sky - Wilco
2. Easy Tiger - Ryan Adams and the Cardinals
3. Trinity Revisited - Cowboy Junkies
4. Because of the Times - Kings of Leon
5. Errr…That's it!
Yes, I only bought four new albums last year. Everything else I bought was old stuff. And the Kings of Leon probably wouldn't have been on the list if I had bought two more albums. It was well received by the critics, but I thought it lacked the raw, strutting energy of their first two albums. They seem to be in a groove now, and probably will pump out several albums of a similar ilk over the next number of years and go on to be one of the biggest bands in the world.
