Best 7 for 07 – Music Albums

Let’s get straight into it:

	7) Neon Bible – Arcade Fire – So I did a bit of research and looked at some other top lists and found this on almost every one so I decided to have a listen and must admit it is quite good.
	6) Call Me Irresponsible – Michael Buble – I love his big band voice and swinging tempo. He makes me love Jazz/Blues. It’s a shame there isn’t more artists like him.
	5) Because of You – Ne-Yo – Perfect album, chock full of those cheesy love songs that you love to hate (no pun intended) for example ‘Leaving Tonight’.
	4) As I Am – Alicia Keys – We wouldn’t want her any other way. Includes an awesome song with John Mayer called ‘Lesson Learned’.
	3) Exclusive – Chris Brown – It doesn’t get much better than this. I totally love this album, hip dance beats, slow love songs and duets with the best of the Rap/Hip Hop scene. It complements his absolutely insane and brilliant dancing.
	2) In Rainbows – Radiohead – This is another album I saw on every list and once I listened to it I could see why. Straight from the first track the only way to describe it is different and unique. It’s like nothing I’ve heard before and I like it.

And the winner is…

1) Graduation – Kanye West – Duh! Like I would put anyone else here! The Louis Vuitton Don is back with this killer album which is highly regarded by critics as I’ve seen it rated highly on other lists too. To include production from Timbaland and collaborations with T-Pain, Elton John, Chris Martin, Daft Punk, John Mayer (Bonus Track) and Connie Mitchell (Sneaky Sound System) on the background vocals it’s a no brainer that it goes to number one.

Honourable Mentions

I have to admit I haven’t listened to each and every track of these but they did sound good (what I’ve heard of ‘em) so I included them here:

Back to Black – Amy Winehouse
Young Modern – Silverchair
Black Fingernails, Red Wine – Eskimo Joe
Icky Thump – The White Stripes
Sawdust – The Killers
