Top 10 Best Albums of 2007
2007 was a year when the music world felt like it was both looking forward and embracing its roots, with artists across genres delivering some of the most talked-about albums of the 2000s. It was a time when indie rock and pop were thriving, hip-hop and R&B continued their domination, and the digital revolution was in full swing. You were just as likely to hear about an album blowing up on MySpace as you were to see it topping traditional charts, signaling a shift in how people discovered and consumed music.
I have no words for this album. I almost picked Blackout by Britney... I guess it's good, but it's too noisy. In Rainbows is so much better. It makes me feel calm and at peace.
A masterpiece in every right. Every track is 10/10, from 15 Step to Videotape. Wow.
If OK Computer and Kid A had a son, it would be In Rainbows.
This album is more than meets the eye.
THIS SHOULD BE FIRST! WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?
Oh, come on! Don't be silly. Avenged Sevenfold got greater reception than R&B stars in all the live shows they performed in 2007. Its prime reason was their self-titled album. Listen to Critical Acclaim and Afterlife.
Great album. Deserves first place.
Why is this number 11? It should be top ten at least! And why is Linkin Park always in the top 5 on this list? Minutes to Midnight is not even their best album, let alone the best of the year!
I hate how people underestimate this album. Jennifer is not a strong vocalist, but her music is great. Brave is her second or third best album.
Am I the only one missing Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled album in the top 10? Whatever, if Paramore doesn't finally change to pop, they will still be one of the best bands. This album is proof of it - it shows that good rock bands can still emerge.
The Newcomers
What the hell is Untrue doing out of the top 10? It was the best album of 2007 and is the best album of all time.
This album is one of my favorites of all time, and how it didn't make it to the number one spot surprises me. Well, it doesn't surprise me because everyone is stuck on mainstream crap, and these guys just keep busting out amazing music on a regular basis, unlike the whole top ten list who isn't doing anything in 2011.
Favorite album of 2007, at least for me.
Sleepwalker, Washington Is Next, United Abominations, Burnt Ice - this album is amazing.
#1 is a testament to human nature to be naive and misguided. J. Lo is as talented as a leg on a wooden table. That, of course, is an exaggeration, but seriously, this album at number 49? Are you kidding me? This low in comparison to a pathetic performer who struggles to be relevant?
One of the best albums ever made.
Different from her previous works. I love Sandra's experiments.
