Shortlist for top picks of 2007

Hi pop pickers. I've got some down time on a flight to San Francisco and want to line up the contenders for the 2007 top picks. So in no particular order here they are:

• Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
• Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
• Bloc Party - Weekend in the City
• Justice - Cross
• Editors - The Back Room
• The Good, the Bad and the Queen
• The National - Boxer
• Radiohead - In Rainbows
• LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
• dntel - Dumb Luck

It looks like I'm doing a slightly better job of keeping up this year as only one of those albums is desperately out of date ;-)

I'm going to reacquaint myself with them over the coming week and then the countdown starts here.
