Mine are:

So Much Pain In My Life-Saigon/Trey Songz(Rap)
Be With You-Elisabeth Withers(R&B)
Lost Without You-Robin Thicke(R&B)
If Hip Hop Is Dead-Nas(Rap)

Some of these songs came out last month(December 2006) but could still qualify for 2007 music.

Say It Right - Nelly Furtado

Will be mainly a 2007 song probably.

There is a new record by Mika called Grace Kelly. The lead singer has a destinctive voice and has been described as a cross between Queen and Scissor Sisters.

"Wind It Up" by Gwen Stefani (for now until it gets played out, lol) and "That's That" and "Crazy" by Snoop Dogg. Right now reminds me of the beginning of 2005 with a Gwen Stefani and Snoop Dogg CD released in Dec. of the previous years.

There are a couple of albums to be released in 2007 that look promising, but not what I would consider a favourite. Bit too early in the year right now.

It's Not Over - Daughtry
Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs
Cupid's Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes
Ice Box - Omarion
Lost Without U - Robin Thicke
Over It - Katharine McPhee

Here (in Your Arms) - Hellogoodbye
Over It - Katharine McPhee (2006 American Idol runner-up)
I Owe it All to You - Eva Avila (2006 Canadian Idol winner)

I love this song!  I think Mika does sound like Freddy Mercury.

He (Mika) even looks like FM from the late 70s.

Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs
Dashboard - Modest Mouse
Herculean - Good, Bad & Queen
Phantom Limb - The Shins

Those are the ones actually released in 2007 I like. All the other "2007 songs" I like are 2006 crossovers.

I love this song!   I think Mika does sound like Freddy Mercury.


I love it too!!  I stumbled on it rather unexpectedly and I haven't stopped listening to it!   I like the way it keeps changing "genres" but still has a great flow to it...  I read somewhere that the song was written as a protest against his record label's attempts to get him to cater to the commercial audience.

Like a Boy - Ciara

so catchy and just awesome.

Fall Out Boy ~ This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race

Modest Mouse - Dashboard
Finger Eleven - Paralyzer
Clutch - Electric Worry

Rush - Far Cry


I caught the video for this on TV today, and I actually found it catchy, which sort of frightens be because Rush is a band I can't stand and never could.  lol

The video is cool.  It's an animated medley of their past album covers

You don't like Rush?  You sure you're Canadian?

Everyone always asks me that ;D

I am one of the few Canadians who can't stand Rush lol

You-Lolyd featuring Lil Wayne
Because of You-Ne-Yo
Be With You-Elizabeth Withers

They should be more successful overseas.  They aren't even popular in the US :(

Gwen Stefani feat. Akon - The Sweet Escape

That's the only one from this year that I seem to "like" so far... I hope I have more as the year progresses. :)

Marilyn Manson - Heart Shaped Glasses

Seriously, if you have not heard this song yet, you are missing out. It hasn't been released yet, but some radio stations have been playing it. It's the shizznit. Who knew Marilyn Manson could pull off a British-80s-rock sound.

A few offhand, some technically late '06:

Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani (not as good as the Love Angel Music Baby singles, but not too bad in its own right)
Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5 (basically "This Love" redux, but a little catchier)
How To Save a Life - The Fray
Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne
'92 Subaru - Fountains of Wayne

Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne (the chorus is just too catchy!)
U + Ur Hand - Pink
Never Again - Kelly Clarkson
Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5
All Good Things - Nelly Furtado

Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne (the chorus is just too catchy!)
U + Ur Hand - Pink
Never Again - Kelly Clarkson
Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5
All Good Things - Nelly Furtado


Yeah, those are good. I think "U and Ur Hand" was late last year, but will be associated with '07 pop culture. Ironically, despite how catchy it is, I bet it would've been too vulgar to have been a single in the pre-1997 time.

And Avril's soon to be next hit "When You're Gone".

Worth - Mercy Fall
Dig - Incubus

"Cupid's Chokehold" Gym Class Heroes is a guilty pleasure  :D

More to add:

-R Kelly - "I'm A Flirt"
-The Game - "Wouldn't Get Far"
-T-Pain - "Buy U A Drink"
-Lloyd - "Get It Shawty"

I think I finally have a song to make this list: "The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani. For some reason I find myself addicted to it lately.



That's what I've been looking for. I've heard snippets of it for the past month or two. It was always the song that reminded me of Madonna's "Cherish" for some reason.

Say It Right still owns!

Yeah, those songs do have similar beats to them.

...because Rush is a band I can't stand and never could

I never really cared for Rush in the '80s and actually disliked them. It wasn't until the last 10 years that I came to appreciate them (well just 2 of their songs -- Limelight and The Spirit of Radio, but they are now 2 of my fav songs of that decade)
???

Justin Timberlake's new one "Summer Love" is pretty good and All Good Things by Nelly Furtado.

London Bridge - Fergie

Tarantula - Smashing Pumpkins

Lost Without You - Robin Thicke

So Not Over You - Simply Red

Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5

Ready for Love - Walter Beasley

(and I would like to include Save Room by John Legend by virtue of the fact that I didn't hear it until 2007 even though it was released in 06)

Say It Right - Nelly Furtado

Will be mainly a 2007 song probably.
That song was released on October 31, 2006.

That song was released on October 31, 2006.

...which is why I tend to associate it more with the end of last year. ;)

4 in the Morning by Gwen Stefani ... shes pretty in the video :)

Thinking About You - Norah Jones

Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne (the chorus is just too catchy!)
U + Ur Hand - Pink
Never Again - Kelly Clarkson
Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5
All Good Things - Nelly Furtado


Girlfriend is too catchy, which is not a good thing.

That's why I wrote this:

Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5 , :D I'm sure it will be remembered as one of the best songs of the late 00's !!!

I don't know how it will be remembered years from now, but I heard it for the first time on the radio just the other day.
Not a bad song. Me likes it.

:)

Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5 , :D I'm sure it will be remembered as one of the best songs of the late 00's !!!

I keep wanting to listen to it, but I've just never taken the time yet! :-\\

More songs to add (and ones I have downloaded on iTunes recently or will download soon):

- Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder
- R Kelly feat. Usher - Same Girl
- Timberland - The Way I Are

Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
Insatiable - Elisa Estrada

Acquired both the new Queens of the Stone Age album and White Stripes album. Not bad. Not excellent. But not bad. The title tracks Era Vulgaris and Ickey Thump are on medium rotation at the moment.

Whine Up - Kat Deluna
Easy - Paula DeAnda
Umbrella - Rihanna
Way I Are - Timbaland
Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie

Who Knew - Pink (it was a 2006 song, but flopped in the US and has now a year later after re-release become a hit)
When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne
Ayo Technology - 50 Cent (I know he's not well liked here to say the least lol, but this one is hot to me, Timbaland and JT have offically saved his new album with this addicting dancey/technoish hip-hop jam)
Stronger - Kanye West (nice Daft Punk sample, he gave them plenty of credit too featured them in the video and even said himself that their original is better than his song, and solid lyrics as usual from Kanye, what hip-hop needs right now)
Let It Go - Keyshia Cole
The Pretender - Foo Fighters (awesome as usual)
Bed - J. Holiday
The People - Common (real hip-hop)
Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
First Time - Lifehouse
Do It Well - Jennifer Lopez
Lil Love - Bone Thugs N Harmony feat. Mariah Carey

More that I just d-loaded from iTunes:

"Stronger" by Kanye West
"Let It Go" by Keyshia Cole
"Ayo Technology" by 50 Cent

Wake Up Call - Maroon 5
Am I Dreaming - Kat DeLuna

I'm liking these tracks so far: Eddie Vedder's Hard Sun & The Foo Fighters' The Pretender (My favourite track from them since 2002)

2007. Not a great year for music (for me), but then it's not a bad one.

All the good ones I can think of for 2007 are

Makes Me Wonder -- Maroon5
Black River -- Keiko Matsui (a nice instrumental)
Suddenly I See -- KT Tunstall
The Sweet Escape -- Gwen Stefani + Akon
Say It Right -- Nelly Furtado

(again these are 2007 songs where I live, eventhough some were out in late 2006)

Relax (Take it Easy) - MIKA
1973 - James Blunt
Money Honey - State of Shock
Walls Fall Down - Bedouin Soundclash
4 in the Morning - Gwen Stefani
Rollercoaster - Major Maker

I found They by Jem to be a catchy little number.

Lets Ride-The Game
Anoynomous-Bobby Valentino
Shut Up and Drive-Rihanna(song sounds like it came out of an 80's cops show so thats why I like it.)
Ice Box-Omarion
Makes Me Wonder-Maroon 5
If Hip-Hop Is Dead-Nas(late 2006/early 2007.)
Last Nite-Diddy featuring Keyshia Cole(late 2006/early 2007.)
Get It Shawty-Lloyd
Do It-Nelly Furtado
Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothing-Kanye West(people hate him but he is a great artist no doubt I think even though sometimes he is a litte full of himself I admit though.)
The People-Common(this is real 100% hip-hop.)
You-Lloyd featuring Lil Wayne(late 2006/early 2007.)
Be With You-Elisabeth Withers
Hate On Me-Jill Scott(she has never sound better vocally in my opinion but unfortantely her songs doesn't appeal to Top 40 radio stations or hip-hop stations so she'll never get the credit she deserves for the quality of music that she makes.) If Jill did get played on Top 40 radio she would be on Kanye West's level as far as popularity goes.

Girlfriend is too catchy, which is not a good thing.

:"Girlfriend" sounds so much like Toni Basi'ls 1984 hit "Mickey" its just ridiculous.

Some of my faves from this year so far:

"White Lies" - Paul Van Dyk feat. Jessica Sutta
"Feel Together" - Ben Macklin feat. Tiger Lily
"Easy" (Nu Shooz Remix) - Paula DeAnda
"Bring The Noise 2007" - Ferry Corsten vs Public Enemy"
"Young Folks" - Peter Bjorn & John (I prefer the "Bjorn Slippy" Mix - PB&J vs Underworld)

Umbrella - Rihanna


I like that one too...in fact, I've only found myself addicted to it for the past month or so.




I found They by Jem to be a catchy little number.

Me too...but I think that one came out three years ago.

keyshia cole-let it go

I still have a little over 3 months to declare one & I will post it if I get one

Bros by Panda Bear!

I LOVE THIS SONG!

"White Lies" - Paul Van Dyk feat. Jessica Sutta

Let Me Think About It - Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grande
Song 4 Mutya - Groove Armada featuring Mutya Buena
Acceptable in the 80s - Calvin Harris
Sexual Healing - Alibi vs. Rockefeller (after hearing this version, you'd never even think it was originally by Marvin Gaye)
Be Without You (Hands Up) - WiFi featuring Melanie M (makes the original by Mary J. Blige sound like a whole other song)

Air - Mer du Japon

"Those Thieving Birds Pt. 1/Strange Behavior/Those Thieving Birds Pt. 2" by Silverchair

A current song I seem to like right now is "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat.

Autumn song & Indian Summer by the Manic Street Preachers are both great. Well the entire album is good.

Snoop Dogg-Sensual Seduction
Kayne West-The good life

Autumn song & Indian Summer by the Manic Street Preachers are both great. Well the entire album is good.


It certainly is.  Those guys never fail to disappoint! 8)

My best of list for 2007 is done. I managed 107: http://www.last.fm/user/TragicallyUnhip/journal/2007/12/21/603405/

It may not be in a finalised order, but it's somewhat accurate for me. Haven't bothered doing an album list this year.

And it's in a traditional "countdown" format this year. (107 at top, 1 at bottom)

Lets Ride-The Game
Anoynomous-Bobby Valentino
Shut Up and Drive-Rihanna(song sounds like it came out of an 80's cops show so thats why I like it.)
Ice Box-Omarion

Last Nite-Diddy featuring Keyshia Cole(late 2006/early 2007.)
Get It Shawty-Lloyd
Do It-Nelly Furtado
Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothing-Kanye West(people hate him but he is a great artist no doubt I think even though sometimes he is a litte full of himself I admit though.)
The People-Common(this is real 100% hip-hop.)
You-Lloyd featuring Lil Wayne(late 2006/early 2007.)
Be With You-Elisabeth Withers
Hate On Me-Jill Scott(she has never sound better vocally in my opinion but unfortantely her songs doesn't appeal to Top 40 radio stations or hip-hop stations so she'll never get the credit she deserves for the quality of music that she makes.) If Jill did get played on Top 40 radio she would be on Kanye West's level as far as popularity goes.


I'll add to my list:

Rehab-Amy Winehouse
Can't Help But Wait-Trey Songz
Apologize-Timbaland Presents One Republic
Lets Chill-Ne-Yo(didn't do good on the Billboard Charts but who cares.)
Wake Up Call-Maroon 5
Say It Right-Nelly Furtado(named that song previously.)
Take You There-Sean Kingston
Flashing Lights-Kanye West featuring Dwele

Okay...my list, one more time:

The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani
Umbrella - Rihanna
Bubbly - Colbie Caillat


...and that's all I can think of right at the moment. :-\\

Mine are:

So Much Pain In My Life-Saigon/Trey Songz(Rap)
Be With You-Elisabeth Withers(R&B)
Lost Without You-Robin Thicke(R&B)
If Hip Hop Is Dead-Nas(Rap)

Some of these songs came out last month(December 2006) but could still qualify for 2007 music.



I hated that Lost Withou You song... it basically sucked!!!
