 Listen to the Madden Podcast Disaster
If you listen to the show, you know I'm obsessed with music.  People are always asking me "what are you listening to these days?"  Well, now you can hear it for yourself on the Madden Podcast Disaster.  Every week I play a bunch of my favorites bands and songs, both new and old.  It's like getting a mixtape from me every week. except I won't try to use it to hit on you!
 
ON THIS WEEK'S PODCAST...
 
This week, enjoy a pair of strange covers, and a song that takes Madden to another,
more sane continent. Plus, new music from The Kooks, Vampire Weekend, Kanye West and more.

MADDEN'S TOP 5 ALBUMS OF 2007

#1 Album:  LCD Soundsystem - Sounds of Silver
This record comes at you from so many angles ...dance, punk, rock, even,, Richard Cheese-style lounge music...and every single one of them works.  It's fun and compelling from start to finish.  As much as I wanted to put Radiohead in the top spot, I listened to this constantly for almost the entire year.

#2 Album:   Radiohead - In Rainbows
When most people talk about In Rainbows, they talk about a business model.  But the model would mean jack if the record wasn't so good.  It's their "strings record", but it rocks, it's their most personal record, but it feels universal.  And it gets better every time I listen to it

#3 Album:   Kings of Leon - Because of the Time
These guys used to be kind of a Southern Rock version of The Strokes.  Because of the Times finds them branching out and adding some beautiful atmosphere to some of the best guitar playing you'll hear this year. Far and away The Year's Most Underrated Record.

#4 Album:   Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Some people will hate records just because they are hyped a lot.  Those people hated this one, and they're missing out

#5 Album:  Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City
Like the Arcade Fire, not quite as good as the debut, but still pretty impressive.  And this was a year where pretty impressive will score you a top 5.
