The albums not in my top ten of 2007

The votes have been cast in my top ten fav albums of 2007... but before I divulge my personal preferences... I thought I'd list the albums that didn't make the list...

Albums I have listened to... but didn't make the cut:

• Maps > "We can create"
• Athlete > "Beyond the neighbourhood"
• v/a > Electronica Unplugged vol2
• Air > "Pocket Symphony"
• Bebel Gilberto > "Momento"
• The View > "Hats off to the buskers"
• Tracey Thorn > "Out of the Woods"
• The Shins > "Wincing the night away"
• The Pigeon Detectives > "Wait for me"
• LCD Soundsystem > "Sound of Silver"
• v/a > "Intelligent Toys 4"

Albums I haven't heard yet... so can't include them in my list:

• Sigur Ros > “Hvarf – Heim”
• Jose Gonzalez > “In our nature”
• St Vincent > “Marry Me”
• Bats for Lashes > “Fur for gold”
• Iron and Wine > “The Shepherd’s Dog”

2007 was a great year for music... and hopefully I have brought to your attention some outstanding pieces of sonic art. The albums listed above are WITHOUT DOUBT excellent... and well worth checking out (including the ones I haven't heard yet). The standard is so high > I will explain all shortly.
