2007, Year of music

If 2006 was the year of football, with the World Cup in Germany and Barcelona's Champions League title, 2007 highlights were all related to music.

Best film: I'm Not There, with Once and Control not far behind

Records: Monster albums by Radiohead and the Arcade Fire (probably the best CD of the decade). Also really good ones from Modest Mouse, Bright Eyes and The Shins.

Concerts: Again, Arcade Fire was monumental. Pleasantly surprised by The Hives and Bright Eyes. Modest Mouse and Interpol can't be bad with that material. The Killers made up for their dissapointing album by showing that live is their thing. The other side of the coin were The White Stripes; excellent music, pretentious on stage.
