In the wake of the King of Pop's death, CC2K's Sherryn Daniel chooses his best videos ever.
 Though this is a presumptuous detail to spew out, it’s not an easy task to break the racial barrier— musically. The man has been around for 50 years and there has to be at least one Michael Jackson song or video that lingers in EVERYONE’S heads. To compile a top ten for MJ is a very difficult task. He had way too many hits that I actually loved and if I can defy the powers that be, I would cook up a top 30, 40 or even 50 hits list. But life doesn’t work that way. Wonderful things end. So, here is a top ten list from a Michael Jackson fanatic.

 Sorry. I’ve been off writing a play for the past 6 weeks, and off in Edinburgh consuming very few non-intoxicating elements for the past 3 days, and then I came back on here and saw that everyone had thrown down these countdown lists of their top several examples of things for 2008. Fair fucking play, I thought. I remember doing one of these for an inferior website about 4 years ago, when I was in my mid-teens and possessing a more naturally inquisitive mind than the alcohol-sodden stub with which I find myself this morning, and I gave my musical top spot to Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster’s still-mighty second album, Horse of the Dog. Isn’t that interesting? |

 CC2K's Catastrophe Waitress collected the best of the music of pain for everybody who went to bed last night without a Valentine.
Nazareth said it best: “love hurts.” Are you still pissed off, lonely and bitter after Valentine's Day yesterday? If so, then I offer these nine anti-love songs. All of them are guaranteed to wring tears of pain and self-loathing from you, but don't worry – it's OK to cry. All of these artists have.

 It’s been very difficult to narrow my 2007 music collection down to 10 albums. In the process I passed over many favorite albums that spent time in my media players like long lost girlfriends. In going back over the year, I felt like I was going over little pieces of my life, and, as Kevin Barnes so aptly opined in my favorite album of the year, “The past is a grotesque animal, and in its eyes you see how completely wrong you can be.” What follows is a traditional top 10 with supplemental list that I feel may be more important than the main grouping. So many legitimately classic albums made their debut this year that it would be wrong of me to touch on 10 alone. I could touch on 10 from January 2007 that were awesome and well deserving of year-end accolades.
But anyway, here goes:

 These are my favorite albums from 2007. These are not the best albums of 2007. I’m not a music critic and therefore, do not have the ability to proclaim such things. I do, however, work really hard to find good music. I spend time, way too much time finding and listening and listening and finding. This list is a way for me to justify the ridiculous amount of effort I put into yet another year of music.
