Note :

• Sebenarnya 50 saja tidak cukup, akan tetapi dikarenakan keterbatasan waktu saya hanya mencantumkan 50 album terbaik saja.

• Terjadi perdebatan alot di dalam diri saya sendiri mengenai posisi 1 dan 2 antara EITS dan Battles,… Karena keduanya menurut saya cukup mewarnai tahun ini dimana EITS muncul awal 2007 dan Battles pertengahan 2007. EITS saya nilai di atas Battles karena jam terbang band dan juga twinkle guitar nya yang saya sukaaaaaa sekali jadi mohon maaf, Battles dinomorduakan, hehe…

• Album Indonesia “terpaksa” saya bikin top 5 saja, karena keterbatasan pengetahuan dan wawasan saya mengenai band Indonesia, dan penilaian saya terhadap kelima nya hampir sama, hanya Friday yang sedikit membuat saya terus-terusan mendengarnya, selanjutnya MLV yang vokalisnya berjambul (ooohhh..tidaaaak ! heheee…), Ghaust, yang saya dengarkan baru sebatas materi setengah matang sebelum full albumnya rilis tahun 2008.

Selamat Bertahun Baru di Tahun 2008 !
Happy New Year !
