 | Our Ill Wills by Shout Out Louds
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.77 Driven pop with a devestating edge. Favorite songs: Normandie, Tonight I Have to Leave It
|
 | Boxer by The National
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $6.50 Pretty heartbreaking, kind of like early Damnwells mixed with an ashtray. Favorite song: Start a War, because it makes a breakup sound threatening.
|
 | For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $11.35 Favorite song: Skinny Legs
|
 | Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge by The Pierces
Buy new: $23.98 Think the retro stylings of Amy Winehouse mixed with a James Bond theme slinkiness. Favorite songs: Sticks and Stones (the video for this song is amazing by the way) and Boy in a Rock and Roll Band
|
 | The Broken String by Bishop Allen
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $7.65 Most of the songs from an earlier EP are recycled here, but that doesn't make it any less great. Very poppy with unexpected touches, like casenetes. Favorite songs: The Rain and Click, Click, Click, Click
|
 | The Stage Names by Okkervil River
Buy used from: $14.25 Probably my favorite cd from 2007. Check out Our Life is a Movie or Maybe and Unless it Kicks
|
 | Everything in Transit by Jack's Mannequin
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $5.99 Pretty old cd, but it doesn't get the respect it deserves. Written off as an emo outfit, the band has alot to offer with this power pop album in the vein of Ben Folds with less sarcasm. Plus its a concept album. Who doesn't love a good concept album. Favorite songs: MFEO Part 2

 | Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $6.54 Okkervill River may have the best cd of 2007, but LCD has the best single. If you are in your early 20s you will be hard pressed to find a better song than All My Friends to describe your life. To me its the great american novel as a song.

 | Rockferry by Duffy
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $7.25 Everyone likes Mercy, but I think the title song is the best. It's a slow build that would do Dusty Springfield proud.
