You See, You Got the Kids Today With the Music, and it Gives Them the Brain Damage…
This list started as a comment over at Kables’ “Top Singles of 2007” post. Inspired by Kables, I threw together a list of my own favorite songs from this year. Then I added some more. And some more. And still more.
I tried to find “official” videos (or at least live clips) for all the songs, but in some cases, they simply didn’t exist, so I linked to interesting fan-made videos.
I’m still working on my Top Albums of 2007 list, but it’s a pretty safe bet that most of the albums from which these songs spring will feature prominently in said list.
In no particular order:
Queens of the Stone Age – “3’s & 7’s,” “Suture Up My Future”
Gogol Bordello – “Wanderlust King,” “Supertheory of Supereverything”
Dälek – “Paragraphs Relentless”
Grinderman – “No Pussy Blues,” “Electric Alice”
The Aliens – “Robot Man”
Clutch – “Electric Worry”
Wilco – “Shake It Off,” “You Are My Face”
Radiohead – “Bodysnatchers”
The White Stripes – “Icky Thump,” “Prickly Thorn, Sweetly Worn”
Robert Plant & Allison Krauss – “Polly Come Home,” “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us”
Band of Horses – “Ode To LRC”
Kings of Leon – “Black Thumbnail,” “My Party”
Dropkick Murphys – “State of Massachusetts”
High On Fire – “Rumors of War”
Dinosaur Jr. – “Been There All the Time,” “Back to Your Heart”
Machine Head – “Now I Lay Thee Down,” “Aesthetics of Hate”
Porcupine Tree – “Fear of a Blank Planet”
Oceansize – “Unfamiliar”
The Fratellis - “Chelsea Dagger”
Modest Mouse – “Dashboard”
Sage Francis – “Got Up This Morning”
Honorable Mention: Mastodon – “Sleeping Giant”
The album from which this single issues (The magnificent Blood Mountain) was actually released last year, but this song wasn’t released as a single until this year.
