I was at that Bottom of the Hill performance.
Good show.

[andrewlterry]

This was a big year these guys.

[Chancetobe]

I don't think Manchester Orchestra or the Cold War Kids albums are from 2007, but, great albums anyway. I probably listened to them more than most albums that came out this year.

[juliaisnotcool]

wooooo i was at two of the shows in their top ten (detroit warped and summerfest). i love this band.

[Johnny Clutch]

Streets of Rage 2? Oh man this band just keeps getting better and better

[themostdeplete]

about to say the same thing.

these guy's lists were fun. i especially appreciate the lists about the top ten shows, places to eat. more bands should've done that.

I haven't been to D'Arcy's in a looooong time.

[Julia Conny]

I love these dude hardcore, obviously.

And I love their lists too. Made me laugh. Of course it helps that I made one of their lists.

"Top 10 Cities We Went Crazy in 2007

10. Toronto, ON"


I partied with them this night, at I believe frankensteins, i remember not remembering anything so maybe it's a lie.

[LV03]

this was a fun list to read...one of the more enjoyable ones

[wheresadalia]

Detroit Warped was awesome! I was front row :)
and I think me and my friend were one of the first to see them at their merch tent, since they got there late. they were still setting up haha. and corey was no where to be found until we randomly ran into him on our way back to my car

It's weird ... I've never heard of this band before. Lame how they named themselves after the movie. Ughhhh.

[CasperStar]

My band, Kensington, was support for the show in Amsterdam. And yes, it was a very cool night. Good to see that these guys had such a succesful year, they deserve every inch of it. That of course, if a year is measured in inches. Anyway, The Graduate are the ones to watch!

[saving jonathan]

Detroit Warped shout out!

[soundofthebrown]

like the different types of lists

[PassedOut]

Still haven't tried Resurrection.

Next time they are in town we have to fix this situation

If only Max's birthday celebration had been before they submitted their lists! I'm thinking we would have scored at least a # 7 instead of #10 = )

[myhearturhands]

mellow mushroom!
i bet it's the one behind the masquerade
