Top 10 Records Of 2007 - Number 1

I wrote a long post extolling the virtues of my top pick, Because Of The Times, by Kings Of Leon, on the flight from Melbourne to Cairns, but its stuck on my laptop as there’s no Internet service here in Dunk Island.

But there’s good cell coverage so I am posting this from my blackberry.

Because Of The Times is the tird stellar record in a row from the best young american rock band. And I mean rock band. These Followhill kids (yes KOL is a family act) deliver the kind of roots based rock and roll that launched the art form back in the late 50s/early 60s. Their sound is a bit more modern, but they’ve got the basics down

Top tracks include On Call, Ragoo, Fans, and Arizona.

I wish I could post some music for you all to sample but you’ll just have to head over the the hype machine (hypem.com) and search for kings of leon and hit play and turn it up loud

Rock on.

    Have you ever considered looking at Asian music lately? I, for one, am astonished at what is coming out of Asia, especially Japan. I would like to see what you think.http://www.bloggerparty.com

    Deer Tick – War Elephant. Best vocal performance I heard in 2007. A young guy who is working hard to get his music heard by singing, talking and connecting in small bars, local joints all over US.I hope he will be the next Dylan/Townes van Zandt.-Srini
