Not necessarily your #1 pick for best album, but the album that you just can't get enough of and listen to more than the others.

If your most listened to album isn't one that was released this year, that's cool.

For me it's a tie between Icky Thump and Sky Blue Sky.

LCD Soundsytem is close second.

Ga(x5) followed by Wincing The Night Away.

BIRDman of Alcatraz...

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Lcd Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Panda Bear - Person Pitch
National - Boxer
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna
Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
Battles - Mirrored

National - Boxer. Also my current pick for album of the year.

On heavy rotation:
Subtle - For Hero:For Fool
Feist - A Reminder
Menomena - Friend and Foe
Handsome Furs - Plague Park

Strawberry Jam

This Heat- Deceit
of Montreal- Hissing Fauna...
Liars- Liars
Blonde Redhead- 23
Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam

None of my most listened to albums of this year are from 2007, but as to most listened to albums of 2007:

Breathe Owl Breathe - "Canadian Shield"

followed by:

Okkervil River - "The Stage Names"

Mine are Justice and M.I.A., and not far behind would be The White Stripes, Patrick Wolf, Of Montreal, Dan Deacon and Deerhoof.

I haven't spent a ton of time this year listening to new stuff. My most listened to album is definitely Blood on the Tracks, which has pretty much made itself up to my favorite album ever in the process. As far as 2007 stuff, I've listened to quite a bit of Beyond, Friend & Foe, and Neon Bible. I'd be surprised if any of this stuff is in the top 10 based on number of spins, though. I've very much lost my desire to seek brand new stuff for some reason. Maybe the new Liars and Animal Collective albums (two bands that I really like) will revive my interest.

The two I've probably listened to the most from 2007 are Anytown Graffiti by Pela and Nux Vomica by The Veils.

I can also only think of two but those would need to be the obvious ones: Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and The Stage Names by Okkervil River.

Probably the Felice Brothers Tonight at the Arizona, and one that i've been playing constantly since i got it, is Huck Notari Highland a really beautifull folk album.

It's funny that you mention The Felice Brothers because I just picked that album up today and have been listening to it. Wanna talk about Dylanesque? Man these guys sound just like the guy. I like the songs and isn't even an interpretation of Dylan better than 95% of things out there? I think that it is.

Feist, LCD Soundsystem, Spoon and Laura Veirs probably, because my iPod seems to favor that one. It's a great record though.

Keren Ann's s/t album has been the most listened to 2007 album so far. I haven't been this addicted to one album for quite a while.

I tried that one but didn't really care for it. Same goes for Keren Ann. Oh well. To each his own.

Andorra, Strawberry Jam, and Soft Punk.

I have a really hard time with the harsh static music like the Soft Punk album and Merzbow stuff.. I'm able to enjoy a lot of noise and experimental stuff, but this stuff I just am not getting.

Any suggestions?

Don't listen to it.
