Now I do too.
I pick my records based upon what i actually listen to. not by what is complicated, acclaimed, or otherwise praiseworthy. there are records that i recognize are amazing, but i don't listen to them much. so be it
My Records of 2007 are as follows (in no specific order):
Alchemy Index- Thrice
The Cool- Lupe Fiasco
Desire- Pharoahe Monch
Graduation- Kanye West tied with Double Up- R. Kelly
Reunion Tour- the Weakerthans
Honorable Mentions:
Bangers & Cash- Benny Blanco and Spank Rock: super dirty booty rap. exactly what you'd expect from Spank, exactly what you get.
Mirrored- Battles- deserves all the acclaim it gets, i just can't listen to it for long periods.
Finding Forever- Common- strangely enough i felt like this records lyrical content was its weak side. strange from common who is normally a great lyricist
Wincing the Night Away- The Shins-their best record. i dunno if people agree i don't care. its nice to have production value
Versions- Poison the Well- not the poison the well i grew up with. a change for the better i think
Free at Last- Freeway- this almost made the best of list. his first record had one track on it i was into. i think this one only has one im not into.
City of Echoes- Pelican- this is slowly going to overtake all the records on the best of list. so good.
Records Worth Missing:
8 Diagrams- Wu-Tang Clan- what a let down. ugh.
The 3rd Hand- RJD2- rad dj. bummer of a weird pop artist. (jury is still out as to whether i would like this if i didn't know rjd2 as a dj first... i'll let you know.)
p.s. a remake of Nightmare on Elm Street??? NOOOOOOOOOOooooooo......!!!!
a remake of DUNE??? NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo.......!!!

NOOOOOoooooo!
I liked The Shins album too
I have never heard anyone use the term "booty rap" to describe dark and dirty beats before.
