I really like that Courtney Tidwell songs, been awhile since I've heard it.
I do too. Almost forgot to put it on there.
What do you make of my top 10?
'Tis a fine top 10. Interesting choice of Ada, my friend. Great song, though. We've at least one top 10 song in common.
Man, when I was hammering out the list, I had a really hard time fitting 50 songs in. I feel like I need a "top 50 songs that didn't make the top 50" list.
I did cut out Heimdalsgate on mine, though, simply because it was in my top 5 last year. That track leaked super early and I was way into it last fall, so I just couldnt seem to associate it with '07. Great song, though.
Oh by the way, Dustin and I want to link to your blog. Is that cool? At the very least, I'd like to post your top 50 list at some point on our page.
I totally know what you mean - I had so many songs that I had to cut out, I almost made a top 75 instead of top 50. But then I kind of would have been cheating, I guess.
Re: Ada, I guess that is kind of a surprise to be #6, but man, I just love love love that song.
Oh, and it's totally cool to put me on your blog. Link away!
Some great songs of note on your list:
No One - Alicia Keys
-sometimes it embarrasses me that I like this song, but goddamn she can sing. she is def one of the more talented mainstream artists
Is Is - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
-love this ep and this is the essential track from it. vintage YYYs
Umbrella - Rihanna
-i have spent many an hour of my life over the past three or four months defending this song. you hear the song, you think it's dumb, then you hear it over and over in your head. then you go back and listen and realize it is actually a good song. and the video is nice to watch.
Roc Boys (And The Winner Is...) - Jay-Z
-my fav from AG. it is so damn old school. when i hear this song, i'm like "this is the reason i LOVE jay-z". it is just dripping with cool.
Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse - Of Montreal
-first song i heard off Hissing Fauna, and the centerpiece of a great album. catchy and infectiously sweet with more dark undertones than a dirty blonde. just great.
Ada - The National
-more love for this one. i love that out of all the great tunes on Boxer (my #1)you went with this one. a song tucked in nicely near the end of the album can often get overlooked. this song is sooo good.
great lyrics.
great top 50.
You know what else fucking kicks ass on Hissing Fauna? "A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger" Heimdelsgate is obviously the best track, but "A Sentence" is glorious.
