The best of the 2007 music hype

The awesomely cool music blog Hype Machine just published zeitgeist of 2007, says TechCrunch. This is based on what people actually listened to, rather than what they said they listened to or what someone said they should listen to. Still with me?

One for the music junkies - but Arcade Fire ranked as the top band of 2007 followed by Radiohead and then Feist. Dizzee Rascal with Lily Allen did very well in June and Hot Chip totally rocked the floor in December.

I can't believe this site still hasn't been bought; I spoke to founder Anthony Volodkin back in December 2006 and he's a very smart cookie. This is an influential, socially-powered, finger-on-the-goddamn-pulse music site. And it's legal. What more do you want?
