What would he be, then? Just regular indie? Also, you might want to check out Lewis & Clarke - Blasts Of Holy Birth if folk is your thing. EDIT: The forum considers him Alternative, since he's signed to a major label and he's not totally folk. |

I don't know where to put Josh Ritter either. Certainly a very good album, but I guess I would put it in the amorphous "indie rock" category to spare myself the trouble of really classifying it.
The one that I haven't heard that falls into the Americana category is The Snake the Cross the Crown. I have heard that album's is very good, but I haven't listened to it myself yet. Just too much good stuff in 2007... It ain't hallelujah, but it might as well have been. |

I found it a little boring. "Cakewalk" is a great song, though. |

Love the Dinosaur Jr. mention. "Beyond" would have been on a lot more lists if it hadn't leaked in February and been officially released in May, I think it slipped off of everyone's radar by December. But anyways, great album... It ain't hallelujah, but it might as well have been. |

Iron & Wine is definitely Folk & Americana and top ten material IMHO ps: love this idea of this thread mark f Mix a little folly with your plans: It is sweet to be silly at the right moment. |

I agonized over where to put Iron and Wine, it would probably be number 11 on my list if it were expanded, but I just couldn't kick any other album off of the list for it. I also loved Jose Gonzalez's new one, but I couldn't make room for that either.
I also completely forgot Deer Tick...crap. It ain't hallelujah, but it might as well have been. |

Shoegaze... tenuously. Leaving off Smashing Pumpkins because I don't feel they're quite close enough, they'll be on my "Hard rock" list if I make one.
 1. Goodbye ~ Ulrich Schnauss 2. 23 ~ Blonde Redhead 3. Lifeline ~ Jesu 4. Conqueror ~ Jesu 5. Shocking Pinks ~ Shocking Pinks 6. The Battle Of Sealand ~ Airiel 7. In Her Gentle Jaws ~ The Depreciation Guild __________________ time is just memory, mixed in with desire... |

The only surf guitar albums I have ever listened to were Dick Dale albums and I thought that it was a dead genre. Were this many surf instrumental albums even released in 2007? Obviously, I'm not paying enough attention. This is an entire genre of which I am completely ignorant. |

That'd be a lotta music! I have no idea how many surf instrumental albums were released last year. I picked up 35-40 surf discs, most all new releases. Not many cds last year from the bigger name "3rd wave of surf" bands (Surf Coasters, Pollo Del Mar, etc). I did find a surprising amount of groups releasing their debut surf cd (Thunderchiefs, Surfites among the very best). Sadly, Dick Dale is ailing and in a very bad way from what I hear. Here's wishing him the best... |
