New Music ... out of touch

Sampling the top 44 songs of 2007 in "New York Pulse" made me realize how out of touch I am with pop music. I only own two releases: the new Radiohead and Robert Plant/Alison Krauss.

From this survey, the only ones I bought based on the 30-second excerpts at the iTunes store are these two which sound exciting, different and tuneful.

Band of Horses, "Cease to Begin"














Andrew Bird, "Armchair Apocrypha"
