Favourite Songs of 2007?

[Henry Gale]

I've seen tons of lists for people's favourite albums of 2007 both here and elsehwere but not as many for individual songs. I've loosely compiled a list of over 130 tracks or so from the year that I really loved and will likely post it all (or just some) when I get a chance to sort it all out, but does anyone else have any lists of their own to share in the meantime?

King Khan & His Shrines - "69 Faces of Love"

[Boner M]

A few standouts:

Burial - "Endorphin"
Radiohead - "Reckoner"
The Field - "Everyday"
Percee P - "Throwback Rap Attack"

Obviously this was yet another tongue-in-cheek comment from wacky Ivan, something we are used to by now.

I heard it on Sirius Satellite Radio one night last year, and immediately assumed it came out in 07. My mistake. My brain is still at the strip club heh.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Perhaps he thought the thread title said "Favourite songs of 2007, with one honorable mention from 15 years ago". I could see making that mistake.

You may fool the rest, but you're not fooling me.
I got my eye on you!

[Benny Profane]

"Bodysnatchers" -- Radiohead.

Good lord this song rocks.

[Wryan]

Just heard Kanye's "Flashing Lights" the other day, when he released the video for it, and I gotta say: Colin Munroe's version is better, imo.

Also, I can't stand "Umbrella" for its ubiquitousness (and the rain of covers), but I can't deny it's a damn catchy song. Slick but well-done slick.

Also, I can only take Mika in small doses, but if said doses include "Relax (Take it Easy)," then I might be ok.
