thanks in advance.

 

[LemonMelon]

Rest assured, Neon Bible is not the best album of the decade. Actually, I think I may still like Funeral more, BUT it does have many great qualities and strong tracks. It's anything but a disappointment, and it does a great job following up Funeral. I just don't find is as catchy, fun, or shocking as their debut.

[Lancemc]

What a glorious list. 2007 is indeed a good year in music.

 

[LMP]

son of a beesting.

 

[Laura M]

2007 is indeed a good year in music.

 

[UberBeaver]

Best I've heard yet is Funeral by Arcade Fire. Yoshimi by the Flaming Lips is close.

I forgot about Kid A. Add that in there as well.

 

[MrPryck2U]

What's supposed to come out from U2 in 2007?

 

[AtomicBono]

The best album of the decade

 

[jacobus]

The Strokes - Room On Fire
Morrissey - You Are The Quarry
RHCP - Stadium Arcadium
Rammstein - Reise, Reise
Gorillaz - Demon Days

 

[Mr. MIKEphisto]

Kid A
Funeral
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Antics
You Forgot it in People

 

[impy13]

According to that list, I've got the following to look forward to this year.

The Shins (even though I already own it since it just came out)
The Good The Bad and The Queen (ditto)
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Norah Jones
Explosions in the Sky
The Arcade Fire
Modest Mouse
Bright Eyes
Wilco
Joseph Arthur
Bjork
Coldplay (I'll believe it when I hear something official, until then I don't)
Britt Daniel solo
Eisley
Feist
Gnarls Barkley
Interpol
Iron & Wine
Metric
NIN
Okkervil River
Radiohead
Rilo Kiley
Sigur Ros
Spoon
Stars
U2 (again, highly unlikely)
Chris Walla
Kanye West
and Wolf Parade

If I indeed have ALL of those albums to look forward to, 2007 will probably be the best year in music of my lifetime, for me at least.

 

[Bug]

Soundtrack of Our Lives' Behind the Music.

Second would be Origin Volume 1 by the same band.
I love 'em. A lot.

If they get an album out this year like they said they would, it'll probably be in the list too.
TSOOL

But for now my number three is Stadium Arcadium.
Love it with all my little buggy heart.

 

[AtomicBono]

doing what imp did...

The Shins
Bloc Party
Arcade Fire
Albert Hammond Jr.
Modest Mouse
Kaiser Chiefs
Bright Eyes
Joseph Arthur
Wilco
Big Boi
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Blur
The Bravery
Coldplay
Britt Daniel [of Spoon]
Doves
Editors
Gnarls Barkley
Interpol
Linkin Park
Oasis
The Postal Service
Radiohead
Smashing Pumpkins
Spoon
Stereophonics
U2
Kanye West
Wu-Tang Clan

...that's a pretty impressive list of albums I could buy this year and i'd probably buy some of the ones not on this list anyway... 2007 is gonna be an amazing year for music if half of these turn out to be true. that's like half of my favourite bands right there.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I'm still trying to figure out what U2 is releasing in 2007, because it sure isn't a new studio album.

 

[GibsonGirl]

"Yoko Ono - Yes, I'm A Witch"

 

[XHendrix24]

I'm still trying to figure out what U2 is releasing in 2007, because it sure isn't a new studio album.

They're probably leaving open the possibility of a new studio album. Note that some of those are just prospective titles (aka REALLY STRONG MAYBES), so it's not 100% for certain that they'll release anything in 2007.

 

[Bono's shades]

The White Stripes - Elephant
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Bruce Springsteen - The Rising
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Elvis Costello - The Delivery Man
Franz Ferdinand - s/t
Antony and the Johnsons - I'm A Bird Now

 

[LMP]

"Yoko Ono - Yes, I'm A Witch"

 

[MrPryck2U]

Album of the Decade so far: Tie between anything by Pearl Jam or U2.

 

[jacobus]

i forgot to mention
KASABIAN: Empire

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

Here;s my top 10 album of the decade so far:

10. Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head

9. U2 - All that you can't leave behind

8. Radiohead - Amnesiac

7. Stereophonics - You gotta go there to come back

6. Supergrass - Life on other planets

5. Robbie Williams - Escapology

4. U2 - How to dismantle an atomic bomb

3. The Killers - Sam's Town

2. Radiohead - Kid A

1. Oasis - Don't believe the truth

 

[MrPryck2U]

Contraband by Velvet Revolver is a great album.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Green Day, baby! The Berkeley boys still rule the roost...

1. American Idiot
2. ATYCLB
3. Funeral

 

[Lancemc]

Just wanted to add another of my favorites from the decade. Also one of the most affective double-albums I've had the pleasure of owning.

 

[jimmmm]

Can't separate these 4,

ATYCLB - U2
Heathen - David Bowie
You Are The Quarry - Morrissey
The Rising - Bruce Springsteen
