Best of '07

ok so i know its a bit late but what you gonna do about it. while sitting in church i thought of a list of the top 10 life changing tunes of 07.
10. bonde do role "solta o frango (bitchee bitchee ya ya ya remix)
i love bonde do role as much as i do a good sushi roll. and i love this mix more than anything. it really gets good around the middle. kinda sounds like fifty different stereos are blaring in your ears all at once. so great.
9. justice "d.a.n.c.e."
the name says it all. sounding almost like a tune straight out of the 80's, justice blew me away with their new album. its melodies ping with carefully-plotted arrangements; its beats groan as if they’re about to be crushed by giant speakers; its bass grooves with fierce independence.
8. kanye west "flashing lights"
when browsing through this album and i stumbled upon number 9. the strings in the intro captured my attention. as soon as the bass and computer generated syncopated clapping came into play, i knew it was love. a dancetastic fusion of hip-hop and electronica, the song is so great you can even forgive kanye for using the worst line in history.
7. chris brown ft. t pain "kiss kiss"
we love rap music. this song is far more honest than anything he's recorded thus far: and a really clear representation of where Chris Brown is going. even though i wasnt floored by the rest of the album, "kiss kiss" sure gets me bumpin n grindin.
6. deefhoof "perfect me"
“The Perfect Me” features a fast-paced woodblock beat reminiscent of a sped-up ‘60 score to a chase scene. and ok, so this one didnt come out in 07, but discovering this song last year really rocked my world.
5. uffie "pop the glock"
only 19 years old, uffie has stirred up quite a fuss in the underground/hip-hop scene. although perhaps not the most lyrically mindblowing songs, her kick ass attitude really comes across through her music. this song might be hard to categorize, but definitely at the tops of 2007.
4. radiohead "15 step"
The result of radioheads much anticipated new album is instrumentally and stylistically diverse; sweeping strings are heavily prevalent. while intensity of both electronic and alternative proportions are echoed in the infectious "15 step".
3. arcade fire "keep the car running"
The band’s recurring imagery summons equal dread and beauty—vehicles, oceans, and darkness all get a workout. "keep the car running"'s energetic majesty makes it one of the most memorable songs of the album.
2. css "music is my hot hot sex"
a sophisticated mash of indie, '80s pop, disco and electro, this song has taken provo over by storm. if it weren't so much fun, it would be really objectionable. But if it wasn't so objectionable, it certainly wouldn't be this much fun.
and last but definitely not least
1. britney spears "piece of me"
most people first tuned into this album hoping for a glimpse of the trainwreck spears has become. however many people were disappointed when they discovered just the opposite. it is a brilliant statement that rewards careful listening. "Piece of Me" is one reason why you will want to listen to it again and again and again.
so congrats britney you blew us all away once again
