The Parson Red Heads' Top Ten of 2007

The Parson Red Heads

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.

most of these were not released this year (or re-released). It went without saying for me, but the obvious subtext is this is a Top Ten listened to in '07, not a Top Ten released in '07.

Never a bad time to re-listen to Tim, or Penthouse for that matter. Brings new meaning in this time of warding off the infidels and extremists, ya dig?
