Best songs of 2007.

[Wyvern]

I know the year is far from being over and I don't want to make a poll or a ranking scheme. I just want people to put the songs that made a mark already for the listener from the 2007 material already out (so of course this thread can grow up to Dec 31). Songs that already hit you hard, no need to rank them as I said just wrote them down.

Mine so far:

Lion's Share - Hatred's My Fuel
Superchrist - 'No Color'
Iced Earth - 'Ten Thousand Strong'
Candlemass - 'Of Stars And Smoke'
Dream Theater - 'The Ministry Of Lost Souls'
Megadeth - 'Washington Is Next'
Freedom Call - 'Blackened Sun'
Abandoned - 'V.O.D. reprise'
Rush - 'The Main Monkey Business'

Ah, so many already, I'm not gonna search for song names but gotta be stuff from Neil Morse, Trouble, Symphony X, Mehida, Icarus Witch, Suncaged, Suspyre, Abramis Brama, Kobus, .....

 

[Headquake]

Lots of great songs but two that stick out as songs that needed to be heard over and over are:
Antimatter-Leaving Eden
Swallow the SUn-These Low Lands

 

[SavaRon]

The first two that came to mind are 'In The Presence Of Enemies' by Dream Theater and 'Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams' by Threshold.

 

[Wyvern]

Megadeth - Washington is Next (or) Sleepwalker (or) Burnt Ice

I also had a hard time deciding which of those three, but I went for WIN

and last but not least, Final Stage - Infidel (not to toot my own horn or anything)

That's why I put the so far disclaimer, I want to listen to your album and have more material coming my way.

NP: Znöwhite - 'Rock City Destination'

 

[#1_Droogie]

Devin Townsend - By Your Command
Devin Townsend - The Greys
NIN - Me, I'm Not (though I could name seven or eight from YZ)
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
El-P - The League Of Extraordinary Nobodies (don't hate me guys)
Pro-Pain - The New Reality

and if the new Meshuggah was released on the scheduled date, I'm sure a couple from that would be mentioned.

that's about all I can think of right now

 

[SoundMaster]

1) Porcupine Tree - Anasthetize
2) Therion - Son of the Staves of Time
3) Redemption - Memory
4) Candlemass - Emperor of the Void
5) Saxon - Atila the Hun
6) Sabbath - Shadow of the Wind
7) Porcupine Tree - My Ashes
8) Threshold - Slipstream

Also: every song on the Scorp's "Humanity 1" album which is very nearly a perfect record.

So many 'classic' bands have released excellent work in these recent years. The new Scorps sits very nicely alongside modern classics by Maiden, Saxon, Motorhead, Dio, etc.

 

[Metal Dog]

The one that springs to my mind at the moment is Sloe Gin by Joe Bonnemassa (I think that's how his name is spelt) it just really struck a chord with me.

NP: Znöwhite - 'Rock City Destination'

Yeah, and I like Gears of War too! There's a lot of good songs on that record. Burnt Ice closes with that KILLER solo....very old school - it's tough not to choose that one, but then again I find Sleepwalker SO catchy, and Washington... has such a cool ambling chorus. Dave's Back!

 

[ElectricWiz]

I'm also adding Go Into The Water by Dethklok, and only partially because it's funny. It actually is a pretty cool little epic song. Seriously.

LOL indeed. some of the songs on the album are good!

Indeed! The album has grown exponentially with each listening, is not a classic like PSBWB the same the new Dio/Sabbth songs are not classics as 'Heaven And Hell' or 'Falling Off The Edge Of The World' but nevertheless are good stuff. The old masters still have a trick or two under the sleeve.

And yes the final outro of 'Burnt Ice' is a serious ass-kicker, what a way to close an album.

NP: Astral Doors - 'New Revelation'

 

[Orfanos]

Icarus Witch - Queen of Lies

 

[Lady__Stardust]

Machine Head - Halo
Dark Tranquility - Misery's Crown
Lacuna Coil - Within Me
Wolf - I will kill again

 

[Perjurer]

Therion - The Perennial Sophia
Dethklok - Go Forth And Die
Type O Negative - Halloween In Heaven
Tristania - Sanguine Sky
Dimmu Borgir - The Serpentine Offering
Kamelot - The Human Stain
Akercocke - Axiom
