The Deadly Syndrome's Top Ten of 2007

671925411_b32f6ee496.jpg

I've always been intrigued by other "best of" lists, but this year I decided to take it to a whole new level. I e-mailed a handful of bands that I've seen this past year in order to unearth what exactly captivated them in '07. As music listeners, it is our duty to take a keen interest in our favorite musician's influences. After all, they rocked our little world, might as well see what rocked their little world. Therefore, this is an act of paying it forward to those hardworking, underpaid musicians who truly made a difference within the music scene this year.

Jesse Hoy of The Deadly Syndrome

1. Handsome Furs - Plague Park
"I was sick as hell and lying in bed and put this record on, it was right after it came out and it was about the listen where I really started to know what the songs were doing, and what they meant to me. And the record put me in a really weird, amazing place. after the record was over I threw up some more and went to sleep, but seriously all year I've been going back to it, because it's stripped down and raw, and yet still so much there."
2. Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
3. Sunset Rubdown - Random Spirit Lover
4. Elliott Smith - New Moon
5. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
6. Oh No! Oh My! - Between the Devil and the Sea
7. Radiohead - In Rainbows
8. Modest Mouse - We Were Dead...
9. White Rabbits - Fort Nightly
10. Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
