Since I bought my laptop in February 2007 I have been adding a lot of new music to my digital collection. I discovered most new music through myspace, bands linking eachother, and via myspace’s of labels. With most of these artists I created a crush on one special song of them, this is the list of the 50 most amazing songs I first heard in 2007!

 I think most songs don’t originate from 2007 releases, but that wasn’t the point, was it? This is in my opinion one of the most remarkable list of songs I’ve ever put together, mostly because I’m loser at choosing best songs. Luckily my musical memory helped me a bit in finding out which song it was of certain artists that appealed most to me. Recently discovered music was a bit of a hassle, like White Rabbits, The Pleased and Marissa Nadler, that’s also why they’re lower on the list.
I’m now going to think if I can possibly think of even more music lists for 2007, maybe of certain genres… Though that would require me to find out the genres of all those artists, which won’t be easy for many of them. Ah well, I can always try.
