Close but no cigar....
Client/Art Brut/David Potts/Interpol
Only know Foo Fighters' M.I.A. Off of their 1999 There is Nothing Left to Lose. Excellent. So then, looks like Kala is next worth the look..
Interpol rates w/ OLTA NIN. Yr. Zero. Plus the Live DVD. Beside You In Time.
Blue on Blue is an outtake album from their 1st album lazer guided melodies. This was realsed by an old band member Will Corruthers. Available as a free down load on Spiritualized web site or from Sister ray records as a CD (you have to pay for this) Silent sound was the last proper officia release. Such a good outtaes album. Radiohead box set came out 3rd Dec so I'm classing it as this years release

Star.
Thanks Chief.
Bit boring, but same albums as most of the peeps on here..
running up:
New Order - waiting for the sirens call (the left over sessions)...ohh euuh, wasn't that supposed to be a 2006 album, or 2007 or 2008 or 2011...or whenever
In other words...wtf is taking those guys so long to drop this on the market? i mean they were finished for god's sake...were those songs that crappy??
Pu it out it so we can move on...
Martijn de Blaauw wrote: 5. Frontline Assembly - Fall-Out
Interesting choice. I think it had better sound quality than Artificial Soldier, but can't say it was a better remix album than Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D. The new tracks were really good though.
In no particular order...
Hey Venus! - Super Furry Animals
In Rainbows - Radiohead
Neon Bible - Arcade Fire
War Stories - U.N.K.L.E
Sound of Silver - LCD Soundsystem
Think Before You Speak - Good Shoes
Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys
Volta - Bjork
Sorry, could not narrow it down to 5...
Let me see..... 
Is two Top Fives okay?
"Cease To Begin" - Band Of Horses "In Rainbows" - Radiohead "The Flying Cup Club" - Beirut "Person Pitch" - Panda Bear "The Shepherd's Dog" - Iron & Wine
"Are The Dark Horse" - The Besnard Lakes "Chrome Dreams II" - Neil Young "Sky Blue Sky" - Wilco "New Moon" - Elliott Smith "Because Of The Times" - Kings Of Leon
also (in no particular order):
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid; The Omniscient Tool - 10,000 Days Garbage - Absolute ATB - Trilogy Type O Negative - Dead Again
(in no particular order)
"People Carrier" by Major Maker get's a mention as it was an EP of great quality. :)
standouts...
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver is just the stand out of the year
Burial - Untrue ... not sure why, it is just so
White Stripes - Jack White is like James Murphy except with blues rock, blending old and new with such cool/dorky accomplishment... sometimes hit or miss with both but so what
I'm sure I will discover excellent stuff from this year next year after reading end of the year lists...
disappointments....
Interpol's new... at this point Interpol are obviously way over my head now cause this bores the socks off of me. Those who still make Joy Division comparisons have obviously not listened much to Joy Division, such a different attitude and posturing
The Tuss (Richard D James)... people are praising this record but to me this is a disappointment, Richard has lost so much emotion from his music in the last decade, he has just become another decent faceless laptop knob twiddler, no longer in a class by himself
Ministry ... Alain Jourgenson has become so utterly boring and predictable, it is past time to have shut down Ministry, as this is suppossed to be the last record i think. Its no longer 1989. He become a total joke, a parody of himself.
Not a particularly great year - but stand outs were
Ian Brown - The world is yours Modest Mouse- We were dead before the ship even sank Unkle - War Stories
Hard Fi was ok but not brilliant
Also rediscovered the Field Mice!!!
In no particular order...
Idealism - Digitalism Editors - An End Has A Start Instead - OneTwo Heartland - Client A Weekend In The City - Bloc Party
glad to see that off what ive seen here so far that maybe 'editors' is peoples most mentioned.kept an eye on other possible recommendations. good thread
I've told everyone since April I think LCD Soundsystem is the best record of 2007. Nothing else has come close. Good to see others here feel the same. :)
Here we go...

I saw them "live" at Sonar and they were dead boring...
LCD Soundsystem- Sound of Silver is definitley the stand out album of 2007...
Also
Kings of Leon- Because of the Times Arcade Fire- Neon Bible
Can I have Closer remastered too, cos I haven't bought any other 07 albums yet 
Mine would have to be these:

Try and get hold of their Essential Mix they did for Radio 1 back in the summer. Someone was telling me about it on Friday so I downloaded it over the weekend.
It's bonkers. Starts off with Hey Boy Hey Girl then goes into Run DMC vs Jason Nevins and then goes on to cram in 50-odd tracks in just two hours, covering loads of genres. It's got all the nu-rave stuff like NYPC and CSS but throws in bizarre olders tracks likle the Exploited, Gary Numan, Joy Division and the Clash.
It's a bit like wot Hooky's doing - mix of the old and new, punk and house - but taken to a more extreme level.
Worth a look. It's easy enough to find on t'interweb.
hmm, well peter bjorn & john was last year, can't believe i've seen mika & the wilco albums on peoples lists on here, (mostly because mika sounds like a castrated cat & the wilco album is such a disappointment after their previous few offerings) but shows what adiverse bunch we are
mine will be changed a few months in to next year as always as i come across something late.
but for now
stars - in our bedroom after the war editors - an end has a start lcd soundsystems - sound of silver 65 days of static - the desctruction of small ideas spoon - ga ga ga ga ga santa dog - kittyhawk rilo kiley - under the blacklight blonde redhead - 23 patrick wolf - the magic position new order - itunes originals (ha!) the national - boxer maps - we can create gravenhurst - the western lands
still have les savy fav & beirut to listen to & the julian cope album just hasnt been listened to enough yet
interpol seem to have improved on antics, but not at the heights of their debut, arcade fire album was a bit meh,
Agree, hibster, that the Wilco album isn't as good as their previous albums, but it's still very nice, imo.
Ah well, forgot to add The Great Lake Swimmers' "Ongiara" on my list, really enjoyed that. Fantastic artwork as well.

Think that might just be By 'Eck! My Neck! 's twisted sense of humour
