Top 10 Albums

10. Your Sweet Uncertainty - Self Titled
Much like another record on this list, This album struck a sweet chord with it’s style of music that I’m a sucker for. The style of rock is simple yet gets stuck in your head always leaving you wanting more. Check this band out.

Favorite Song: “Hey Baby” / “End Scene”

9. Stacy Clark - Apples and Oranges
I’m almost ashamed to admit I like this album as much as I do but all the songs are just wonderful. Even if you’re not drawn to female vocalists or this style of music, this is still a record you need to listen to.

Favorite Song: “Empty Bottles”

8. Anberlin - Cities
I was definitely looking forward to this album by Anberlin as the band seems to just get better with each release, ‘Cities’ being no exception. The album is focused and strong the whole way through, I’m not sure why these songs don’t get played on the radio.
Favorite Song: “Dismantle. Repair.”

7. Northern Room - Last Embrace [Deluxe Edition]
I was hooked with the song “We’re On Fire” but every other song on the record is solid. This band knows how to write slow songs as well as a catchy radio single.

Favorite Song: “We’re On Fire”

6. Robbie Seay Band - Give Yourself Away
This has to be one of the most positive and joyful albums to come out this year. Every song is full of love and optimism making it great for rough times.

Favorite Song: “Song of Hope”

5. Lifehouse - Who We Are
Past Lifehouse albums were always mediocre with a few good songs. Usually half way through the CD all the songs started sounding the same. I never would have thought this album would be as good as it is. The band tweaked a few things, added a few more hooks, along with a little bit more straight up rock and the outcome of ‘Who We Are’ is awesome.
1 Liner
Favorite Song: “The Storm”

4. Dustin Kensrue - Please Come Home
I love the lyrics, I love the country/folk style, I love everything except that there are only 8 songs on the record. I can’t wait for more.
Favorite Song: “Please Come Home”

3. Athlete - Beyond The Neighbourhood
Athlete is a an intellectual pop band that has their hooks deeply planted in rock. The record is catchy and addictive but also deep and meaningful.

Favorite Song: “It’s Not Your Fault”

2) Hot Rod Circuit - The Underground Is A Dying Breed
I’ve been a fan of Hot Rod Circuit for awhile but this album just hit a sweet spot and took me back in time. I have yet to get tired of these songs as the replay value is huge. If you need some good punk rock to listen to, pick up a copy of ‘The Underground Is A Dying Breed’.

Favorite Song

1. Switchfoot - “Amateur Lovers”
Technically the album came out last year on Dec. 26th of 2006 and thus the reason for the album not showing up on the top 10 list. I will consider this one of the best song though because I have been able to listen to it on repeat many occasions throughout the entire year. This is an amazing song.
