Best Indie Rock Songs of 2007

I decided to do my own end-of-the-year list of my favorite songs. I was going to add some kind of analysis, but the list got too long and I just didn’t feel like it. The list really is in no particular order, aside from the play count of the songs in my iTunes. This isn’t really a reflection about how I feel about each song per se, but really just an interesting ‘gee whiz’ fact. Also, I only have one song per artist so as to add a little variety to the list. Enjoy!!
