The following lists of links to rock, pop and other genre-specific 'best of 2007' editions, are worthy of reviewing and include many talented entries, song descriptions, samples and in some cases free, non-DRM MP3 downloads. Also included are links to playlists of MP3s featuring IRC's choices for 2007.

However, in the case where a best songs list is based on actual listener input and consumer purchases, that's another matter, and some of lists included here within utilize such methodology. (photos - top left: Zach Condon from Beirut; middle right: Modest Mouse)

One of the big 'new' groups of 2007 on the indie circuit was definitely Silversun Pickups.

The band's impressive debut EP Pikul in 2006 was followed by the brilliant release of Carnavas, which was still on The Billboard 200 chart as of last summer and peeked at No. 5 on the Top Independent Albums in 2006.

Carnavas was the band's first full-length release under the direction of the respected rock producer Dave Cooley (who has worked with Smash Mouth and Citizen King).

The album included a number of indie blog favorites, especially the exhilarating single "Lazy Eye."

So One AM Radio records put out a remix CD last month that includes four remixes of "Lazy Eye" and two remixes of "Little Lovers So Polite".

For SSPU fans, the remixes are a worthy listen to, but don't get to excited. Others who are annoyed by SSPU for their own various reasons, may point to this remix release as more evidence for their dismissal of one of L.A.'s most talked about rock bands in the past year.
