The beauty of these types of posts is that it makes you want to seek out stuff. I have never listened to any of the albums in this article. In addition, I haven't even heard of a couple of artists on this list. My pick for best of 2007 would be The White Stripes' Icky Thump. 683367@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Dec 2007 03:58:25 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/27/145614.php#comment-683333 No arguments with two picks for Bruce, plus Wilco, Norah, and the rest. Of those I haven't heard Tomahawk, Torn, and Uncle Earl all sound pretty interesting. Good list all around from our crack group of music scribes for sure. -Glen 683333@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Dec 2007 01:00:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/27/145614.php#comment-683324 Thanks for putting this together, Connie. From the looks of things, our choices mean we're not going to sit well with the Pitchforkmedia set. I'm seeing some stuff they would probably categorize with a prefix of "dad-" thrown on for the ease of insult. Regardless, as I've said in other pieces about favorites, these are likely to be the albums we continue to listen to in many years rather than ones that are chosen out of a need to maintain some aspect of "cred," whatever that really means anymore. Yep, that Tomahawk is one of those odd albums that I love yet won't be listening to all that often. Definitely suits a particular need. A bright moment of the year, for sure, but not something I can put on my list simply because I can't listen to it that regularly. 683324@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Dec 2007 00:28:46 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/27/145614.php#comment-683279 hmm, i'll have to revisit Tomahawk. i bought it, listened, and then managed to misplace it! 683279@blogcritics.org Thu, 27 Dec 2007 22:32:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/27/145614.php#comment-683276 Excellent stuff here! (especially Tomahawk!) 683276@blogcritics.org Thu, 27 Dec 2007 22:29:06 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/27/145614.php#comment-683237 Thank you Donald, Pico, and every other writer who contributed to this article and the section throughout the year. I enjoyed reading the varied choices all of you brought to this article, as much as I enjoy reading about and discovering new music through your writing through out the year. I look forward to the new year of releases and reading what all of you have to say about them. 683237@blogcritics.org Thu, 27 Dec 2007 21:01:36 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/27/145614.php#comment-683231 I concur with Donald, Connie, you did a great job with this article and overall with the BC Music Section.
