Lou's top 8 (cause I'm awkward) musicial moments of 07

LOUFROMTHEBLOC'S TOP 8 MUSIC MOMENTS OF 2007

8. After much worry of his collasped lung on the Panic! At The Disco tour, fans of Bloc Party were worried that drummer Matt Tong wasn't gonna drum like he used to, lucky for us. It got as funky as ever and Bloc Party take on a dance edge with anthems like The Prayer and Flux.

7. The UMBRELLA craze. With such simple lyrics (When the sunshines we'll shine together/told you I'll be here forever) the track from the self-proclaimed "good girl gone bad" Rihanna caused such a stir with her song that nearly 30 bands covered it (everyone ranging from McFly to My Chemical romance) and with her 10 week stint on the british chart, it rained nearly every single day, cause floods all through-out the UK. We all knew this was down to global warming, but it's always nice to blame a popstar isn't it!

6. The return of Robyn! Remember 1997? Thats when we first saw Robyn with her cheesy pop classic "Show Me Love" 10 years later, she's back with fierce style and much better music! Her hit "With every heartbeat" was a massive summer anthem, and her self titled album has brought her many success. 2008 looks even more promising!

5. Labels going to a whole new level. Last year emo was everyone's favourite enemy (and quite franky, still is) now we have more! Scene queens/kings, Nu ravers, scenesters, HXC, moshers etc etc etc, just spoilt for choice!

4. The savior of celebrities, and musicians, STARBUCKS! Tom Fletcher from McFly actually thanked starbucks instead of his fans in the band's new greatest hits CD. It's probably the only thing Britney is seen drinking these days. Starbucks even have their own record label for goodness sake!

3. The year of the comebacks, All Saints had a lovely run of 6 months before they stopped again. Legendary Led Zepplin are doing a few shows, The Sex Pistols, Britney, The Spice Girls! Next year looks even more promising, Steps anyone? :'D

2. Drug addictions causing singers and bands to go better. Not that I condone drug taking, no way. But did any of you hear of Amy Winehouse when she released a song called "fuck me pumps"? But I'm guessing most of you know about her now. The same with Pete Doherty, but I guess he was better when he was in The Libertines!

1. Klaxons winning the mercury music prize! This was also awesome because I made a bet on it and I won, hahaha.
