It's almost that time of year again. A time when the nights are closing in and evenings are filled with seasonal merriment. A time when all of us reflect on the past year and contemplate the defining moments. A time when I pick out my musical Top 5!
Overall I think it's been a good year. There's been a lot of decent albums from the like of The National, Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire. There have been some notable disappointments such as Air's rather bland Pocket Symphony and the second half of Bloc Party's Weekend in the City. I don't think anything quite reached the glory of last year's ultimate winner The Eraser, but all in I've had a happy musical year.
So the form is: any record I discovered in 2007; 5 posts in reverse order; one sampler track per post; number one declared before Christmas Day.
I'll also seek out some competing lists from the blogging world and link to those.
Let's go!
