Best tracks of the year (imho)
The National - Mistaken for Strangers
The best single off the best album of the year. Somber, tense, atmospheric, a headphones record best enjoyed in the dark, 'Boxer' rewards repeated listens.
Burial - Ghost Hardware
Perfecting his dubstep formula, Burial's second album is even more captivating than last year's debut.
Radiohead - Reckoner
Behind the most talked-about marketing campaign of the year were some of Radiohead's best songs in a decade.
Les Savy Fav - Patty Lee
They may take years to release albums, but with songs like this it is most definitely worth the wait.
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
James Murphy seemlessly marrying dance beats to moving lyrics and a classic pop melody.
Arcade Fire - Intervention
If all the songs in the album shared the quality of this one, 'Neon Bible' would deservedly be hailed as the best record of 2007.
Feist - I Feel It All
This was her year. The Canadian queen of indie-rock crossed over to the mainstream, with an album full of perfect little songs like this.
M.I.A. - Paper Planes
Definitive proof that 'Arular' was no fluke.
Rihanna (featuring Jay-Z) - Umbrella
The guilty pleasure of the year... irresistible, everything a pop hit should be.
Panda Bear - Comfy in Nautica
Ignore the video and enjoy this sunny melody and playful production.
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Retro, soulful and feisty, nobody sings about pain and heartbreak quite like she does.
The Whitest Boy Alive - Burning
Hypnotic, its release as a single this fall made some rediscover its interesting parent album 'Dreams.'
