My radio is tuned to 102.1 as I listen to their top 102 countdown of 2007. I can't remember the last December 31 I didn't do this, it's sort of an annual tradition of mine.
This year I'll record the top ten live as I listen. Reload this page every few minutes and you'll get an updated list. When it's done, I'll throw my two cents at the bottom of this entry.
- Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye
- Incubus - Anna Molly
- Alexisonfire - Boiled Frogs
- The White Stripes - Icky Thump
- Finger Eleven - Paralyzer
- Linkin Park - What I've Done
- Tokyo Police Club - Nature of the Experiment
- Rise Against - Prayer Of The Refugee
- Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh)
- The Fratellis - Flathead
Only two songs appeared on both this CFNY list and my personal top ten of 2007. There would have been more overlap, but I delisted a few of their picks because the song was released in 2006.
Nothing shocking here. I'm still surprised at how overrated that Finger Eleven song is. I'm not a huge fan of that Chili Pepper song, either. I'm a big fan of 60% of this top ten, including their choice for #1.
Bonus thought: How old is Martin Streek? He's been on the Edge forever. Seriously, I can't remember listening to 102.1 without Streek. He's got to be pushing 60.
That's it for me, I'm logging off for the year... Happy New Year everyone.
Happy new year!
Wow, sorta surprised at both the top 2 but I like Incubus so I don't mind. Don't quite agree with Silverchair or Alexisonfire as being in the top 3 really when Icky Thump and others were MUCH bigger hits. Like Rise Against on there but not sure if it's top 10 worthy, I loved that song when it came out.
Have a great night and take care in the new year!
