2007 In Music: The Most Underrated Albums of the Year

[tongsinanpei]

Yes, yes, I'm aware that it's almost halfway into 2008, but given how dead my journal has been lately, it's not like I've forgotten about this list. In fact, I've had it ready for ages but just haven't been able to post it

Matt nathanson is amazing in concert.

Also, you need to send me Terra.

I'll keep that mind if he ever comes to my neck of the woods - although somehow I doubt it. Have you heard Some Mad Hope?

great cd's...i own them all!

[tongsinanpei]

All of them?!

I want to illegally steal Tina Arena's album from you.

[tongsinanpei]

It's worth it.

I saw it in HMV and it was bloody expensive (because it was an import, I imagine).

If you haven't listened yet, you MUST experience Tina Arena's 2 French albums. There's just something about French contemporary/pop that the Americans can't seem to appreciate. Maybe it's the odd chords and dissonance, but then again, most of Tina's original work exhibit these qualities.

Thanks for the list!

I don't have the albums, but I've heard many of the singles. I actually went through quite a major French pop phase back when I used to get MCM on my television - which is how I became a fan of Natasha St-Pier.

I am so glad that Tina, Terra and Kelly made it to your list!
