42. Burial - Ghost Hardware (2007)

Burial (William Bevan) makes some of the most haunting, ethereal music known to mankind. The songs completely take over any surrounding, and the sounds just flow over everything. In Burial's version of dubstep (a recently formed type of electronic music created in the UK), he uses a lot of female vocal samples (a Christina Aguilera sample in this song) and makes them completely unrecognizable and typically much better sounding than the source material could have ever been. This is perfect music for driving at night in the wintertime....I can't wait for it to get really cold again so I can spend another season with this record.

33. Chromatics - Running Up That Hill (2007)

The original by Kate Bush was an eerie song that was sung in the typical over-the-top manner that Bush was known for throughout her career. While still remaining a good song, this cover by Chromatics off of their 2007 album Night Drive takes the eeriness of the original and adds a sense of melancholy and loneliness, as well. I feel like the updated electronics on this version do the song better justice, and make it all the more effective than the original from 1985 ever could have ever been. The lyrics are also amazing, but that credit definitely belongs to Kate Bush.

9. Radiohead - Videotape (2007)

As far as I'm concerned, the release of Radiohead's In Rainbows may be the last big release event of new music for an extremely long time. It already seems like ages ago that I would go to Vintage Vinyl to a midnight sale just waiting for a new album, what with the ease of obtaining music and the constant leakage of new music onto the internet. However, I'll never forget the night that I stayed up until 2AM just hoping to get the email saying that this album had been released for download, and then the idea of listening to it knowing that hundreds of thousands of others across the world were doing the exact same thing. This song itself is the perfect ending to this album. Like the album itself, just as you're waiting for the song to explode it almost wimpers to the finish. It's a perfect ending to one of the band's most elegantly perfect albums.
