There must be something wrong with me because I do not like Arcade Fire at all. And I love the kind of music it is usually associated with.

I would throw in Modest Mouse's "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" to the top of 2007.

I am really glad to see someone mention Iron & Wine. The songs of his I have heard I really like, but I have yet to listen to a whole I&W album. Nice one, Caron 1!

I loved the new Arcade Fire and I didnt like them at all. I even saw them at Coachella before I heard it and I didnt like them. But the more I listened to it the more it grew on me and I realized how good it was.

Its like dark and depressing, i love it.

Lupe Fiasco's THE COOL - not out yet (12/18/07) but from the snippets and few songs I've heard it'll definitely be my favorite album of the year. FNF UP!!

Common- Finding Forever
Kanye West- Graduation
Blu & Exile- Below the Heavens
Chamillionaire- The Ultimate Victory (supremely underrated)
Jay-Z- American Gangster
Maroon 5- It Won't Be Soon Before Long

few more I can't think of right now...
