My friend is DJ’ing a New Year’s party this year. It’s at a bar where most of the Jukebox music being played is modern rock. He’s not into that kind of music, so he asked me for a Top 30 of 2007 song list. Here’s what I came up with…feel free to post yours: (I limited it to 1 song per artist)

\*\*AFI \*\*The Missing Frame  
\*\*Against Me \*\*Thrash Unreal  
**Blaqk Audio** Stiff Kittens  
**Decemberists, The** O Valencia  
**Fall Out Boy** This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race  
**Fiction Plane** Two Sisters  
**Finger Eleven** Paralyzer  
**Foo Fighters** The Pretender  
**Fratellis, The** Flathead  
**Gahan, David** Kingdom  
**Guster** Satellite  
**Hives, The** Tick Tick Boom  
**Incubus** Anna Molly  
**Jimmy Eat World** Big Casino  
**Linkin Park** Bleed It Out  
**Modest Mouse** Dashboard  
**Muse** Starlight  
**Mute Math** Typical  
**Papa Roach** Forever  
**Puddle of Mudd** Psycho  
**Raconteurs, The** Steady As She Goes

It occurs to me that I didn’t download a lot of music from 2007. I don’t think I have 30 Modern (or what we used to call “Alternative”) rock songs that aren’t already in your list.

I guess I’ll add the following:

Fall Out Boy - Thnks fr the mmrs  
Linkin Park - What I’ve Done  
Matchbox Twenty - How Far We’ve Come  
Smashing Pumpkins - Tarantula

I’d go with “Dig” for Incubus over “Anna Molly.” And a little googling lists “Anna Molly” as a 2006 release anyway.

As for a full top 30 list, that might take a while but it would have a lot of overlap with your list.

I figured some of these might have release dates prior to 2007. But, I think these songs were most popular in 2007, just based on memory.
