Year's End: The Best Local Albums of 2007

There Is A Difference Between Liking Something Because It's Good And Thinking Something's Good Just Because You Like It. Here's What Was Good. Here's What We Liked.

Madeline, Vic Chesnutt, Of Montreal… who else made Flagpole's list?

Year's End: Sounds Beyond Our Borders

Sometimes Music From Outside Of Athens Filters Into Our Little Bubble. These 25 Albums Were Worth A Little Attention And More Than A Couple Of Listens.

M.I.A., Dinosaur Jr., R. Kelly… who else made Flagpole's list?

Worst Band Names of the Year

Sure, You've Gotta Call Yourself Something. But Does That Something Have To Suck?Every Single One Of These Acts Played In Athens In 2007. (A Few Of 'em Were Actually Good, Too.)

Scarry-Garcia, The Inphlu Ants, Slightly Stoopid, Anus Full of Wasabi, My Unborn Children… we're just scratching the surface of the lousy band names.
