Ice DJ's Musical Review Of 2007.

2007 was another year for good music, some new artists and old groups getting back together.

Everyone will have there own taste and views on some of the music going about in 2007 and these are just my views on who and what I thought were good in 2007.

A few bands got back together in the past year as in bands like Boyzone and of course the Spice Girls but the 2/3 biggest bands that got back together were the Eagles, Led Zepplin and "the Boss" Bruce Springsteen was back with his E Street Band with there first studio album together in 5 years.

The Eagles released a brand new album which I haven’t heard yet but the first single of the album was a good song called “How Long” and show’s that they haven’t lost any of the old magic. Led Zepplin released a greatest hits album which is a must for any music collection young or old.

Bon Jovi released a good new album “Lost Highway” and I’m looking forward to seeing them at Hampden Park in June 2008. To pick a song of the album it has to be the power ballad “(You Want To) Make A Memory” a class song.

Other top tunes for me this year were Santana featuring Chad Kroeger with “Into The Night”, Nickelback with “Rockstar”, Travis had a cracker of a song with “Selfish Jean”, Orson had a good upbeat track with “Ain’t No Party, Hoosiers with “Worried About Ray”, Craig David was back with “Hot Stuff” and the Foo Fighters were also back with “Long Road To Ruin”, probably the biggest song of 2007 not to make number 1 was Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse with the remake of the song “Valerie” first released by the Zutons in 2006.

Mika took the charts by storm with a couple of cracking tunes in “Grace Kelly” and “Big Girls”.

The dance remix hit of the year for me was “Sexual Healing” by Alibi featuring Rockerfella. There were also a few new bands/artists that got my feet tapping this year one of which was singer songwriter Amy MacDonald who had 4 hits and very hard to choose the best one but the song “This Is The Life” just shades it for me. Local guy Calvin Haris from Dumfries had a good year and looks to have a bright future in the music industry.

The View had a couple of good hits with the pick of them being the song “Same Jeans”.

The band that really got my feet tapping this year was the Reverend And The Makers the song “He Said He Loved Me” is brill and the windows in my car bounce anytime its on as the volume gets cranked up but that also has to be said about the album “State Of Things” apart from one song that I’m not to keen on.

The only thing missing from 2007 was a big party tune that you do a silly dance to but I’m sure someone will make up for that in 2008.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my look back at some of the music and artists from 2007 and I’m already looking forward to 2008 for more great music.
