Wasn't Dig Lazurus Dig 2007?

Nothing's really blown me away this year. Lot's of stuff that's alright, little to blow your mind. Vampire Weekend was good, yet forgettable. Friendly Fires and Foals were both great in places. I can't really think of anything!

 

[Dover]

The nominations from the Dover household are.

Seasick Steve...I Started Out With Nothing and I still Got Most of It Left
Duffy...Rockferry
Queen & Paul Rogers...The Cosmos Rocks
Black Crowes...Warpaint

 

[Norman Potting]

Being a recent convert to Nick Cave I enjoyed "Dig Lazarus Dig" whatever year it came out.

Also enjoyed albums from Duffy, Seasick Steve, The Hold Steady and Drive-By Truckers. Currently enjoying listening to "The '59 Sound" by Gaslight Anthem.

...And the winner for me (just) out of that lot and more is.

"Rockferry" by Duffy.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Loads of good 'uns but these four outstanding...

Half Man Half Biscuit...CSI Ambelside

Bon Iver...For Emma,Forever Ago

Jenny Lewis...Acid Tongue

MGMT...Oracular Spectacular

 

[Arthur]

It's not out until next Monday.

Take That - The Circus

GUARANTEED TO BE A CLASSIC

How do you know if you haven't heard it? Another reason why your music opinion cannot be taken seriously!

Personally I've enjoyed:

Santogold - Santogold
Metallica - Death Magnetic
Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone
Metros - More Money, Less Grief

Quite surprised no one has mentioned the Glasvegas album yet? Not my bag but know allot of people who have been raving about it.

Just checked and it was March. Foals is a good call. Great live band as well.

Santogold is another great album....I forgot that one. I've yet to hear the Glasvegas album. I really should get round to listening to it.

The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing was a jolly little CD. The version I bought was definitely released this year.

Infadels - Universe in reverse.

 

[7:18]

not my favourite of the year, but its up there...

 

[Safeway]

MGMT...Oracular Spectacular

Good shout.

Have also loved Alphabeat, and the new Pigeon Detectives album.

Glasvegas, and Elbow for that matter, can f*** OFF.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Glasvegas' album was average at best and massively overhyped.

'Daddy's Gone'? Yeah, he probably got fed up with your moaning, you misersable Weegie bugger!

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Some of my favourites, in no particular order are...

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Vampire Weekend
Black Kids - Partie Traumatic
Foals - Antidotes

 

[The Face]

Bloc Party - Intimacy or Late of the Pier - Fantasy Black Channel.

I bloody love the MGMT singles but the album (bar one or two album tracks) was a let down imo.
