Ah yes, I totally agree with Motion City Soundtrack and The Rocket Summer.
The only CD I would add is Saves The Day's Under The Boards. (other than that, most of the music I listen to is from the 80's and 90
s haha)
I agree with that entire list.
We definately have the same music tastes :)
1)The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me ~ Brand New
2) The Con ~ Tegan and Sara
3) Bone Palace Ballet ~ Chiodos
4) Riot! ~ Paramore
5) Cassadaga ~ Bright Eyes
6) Do You Feel ~ The Rocket Summer
7) Made of Bricks ~ Kate Nash
8) A Lesson In Romantics ~ Mayday Parade
9) Little Voice ~ Sara Bareilles
10) Cities ~ Anberlin
finally someone says even if it kills me is in their top 10 albums of 07. that album is brillant.
My Top albums have to be
The Rocket Summer- Do You Feel
The Starting Line- Direction
and of course, Backseat Goodbye- Good Morning Sunshine
:) Definetely on repeat on my iPod.
Yesss Bright Eyes! Gotta love that c.d.
I'd add, Lupe Fiasco The Cool. You need some rap here and there right? And hmmm, if Windmill released a new c.d. like I thought, then I'd add them.
Good picks man.
Good picks.
:)
I'm not sure if they all came out this year but
Stories by Lannen Fall <-- Awesome band of amazing guys
Truth In Sincerity by Amber Pacific is an absolutely amazing record, and they're just as good live.
Riot! by Paramore is definitely a best.
That's about it for CDs, but an amazing band that hasn't put out a full CD that is definitely check-outable is Raleigh. You can find them at myspace.com/raleighmusic

I bought The Con by Tegan and Sara about 4 days after it was released, and I learned about the CD a day or two before that. It came to me at a perfect time, and was an aid of self-release for me. I fell in Love with it. As for Kate Nash, I nearly ordered the CD import for almost $30 until I learned it would be released in the US in January. I can't wait.
My Top 4 albums of the year are in your top 10, which is quite cool : )
Tegan&Sara
Motion City Soundtrack
The Rocket Summer
Jimmy Eat World
Love it
So, I know I'm commenting a little late, but I basically agreed with your list. You have incredible taste. Except I might have moved The Format up a bit, because I anticipated that one almost as much as I did The Rocket Summer's. I was up for like three days waited to buy a bunch of merch. My room is littered with logo matches. Well, this was nonsensical.
i thought you might want to know, i set this picture as my friends background on her comp, cause thats where i read the blog. and now she cant get it off :D
