2007. Oh What A Year It Was
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Composed by – MELINA SCARFO<\/span><\/h4>\n

Can you believe that 2007 was six years ago? The first iPhone was announced, Britney Spears had a meltdown, and much to the fans delight (and dismay), the last installment of Harry Potter, was released. R&B and pop-punk were the flavours of the month with Rihanna, Fall Out Boy and Justin Timberlake all releasing new music. So what were the highlights of 2007? Read on to find out!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUmbrella\u201d was the lead single from Rihanna\u2019s third album \u2018Good Girl Gone Bad\u2019 and has since been covered by various notable musicians. It was originally written for Britney Spears but her label rejected it and Rihanna went on to make it the hottest song of 2007. I can guarantee you that after only one listen you\u2019ll have that addictive hook stuck in your head for days; \u201cUmbrella-ella-ella -eh-eh<\/i>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMakes Me Wonder\u201d – Maroon 5<\/span><\/h3>\n

Oh Adam Levine, how we love you, especially when you\u2019re strutting around in a suit. \u201cMakes Me Wonder\u201d is the first single from Maroon 5\u2019s second album \u2018It Won\u2019t Be Soon Before Long\u2019. The band’s first number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart captures everything a good pop rock song should be with its funky guitar riffs and catchy melodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLight Up The Sky\u201d- Yellowcard<\/span><\/h3>\n

American pop punk band Yellowcard are still going strong since their formation in 1997. What could be just another average band, Yellowcard manage to bring something fresh to the genre with the addition of a violin. \u201cLight Up The Sky\u201d is an uplifting and heartfelt track which intertwines beautiful melodies and punchy guitars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMisery Business\u201d – Paramore<\/span><\/h3>\n

Manipulation, popularity and boys; what\u2019s not to love about this pop punk number? Hayley Williams delivers a fierce and honest vocal performance on the fast paced track. As all Paramore fans would know \u201cMisery Business\u201d has become a tradition at the band\u2019s live shows asWilliams pulls a fan on stage during the bridge to belt out the rest of the song. I\u2019m still waiting for my turn Hayley!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFluorescent Adolescent\u201d – Arctic Monkeys<\/span><\/h3>\n

While it may not have been a chart topper,\u201cFlorescent Adolescent\u201d is one of the Arctic Monkeys\u2019 most popular songs. Taken from their second album \u2018Favourite Worst Nightmares\u2019,Alex Turner\u2019s lyrics are as witty and risqu\u00e9 ever. \u201cYou used to get it in your fishnets, now you only get it in your nightdress\u201d,<\/i> hmmm whatever could you be referring to Alex?<\/span><\/p>\n

[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IC8qPpnD0uE?feature=player_detailpage&w=640&h=360]<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Goes Around\u2026Comes Around\u201d – Justin Timberlake<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t deny it, everyone loves Justin Timberlake. We\u2019re ecstatic that he has announced an Australian tour for 2014, so in the meantime lets return to \u2018FutureSex\/LoveSounds\u2019. \u201cWhat Goes Around\u2026Comes Around\u201d was considered to be a sequel to \u201cCry Me A River\u201d by music critics and fans. Timberlake shows off his falsetto in this powerful ballad about betrayal and forgiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTeenagers\u201d \u2013 My Chemical Romance<\/span><\/h3>\n

My Chemical Romancewas one of the most influential bands of the last decade and they just recently called it quits after 12 years. Their iconic song \u201cTeenagers\u201d deals with some tough issues such as gun violence. Gerard Way says, \u201cIt’s about a really big problem in America where kids are killing kids. The only thing I learned in high school is that people are very violent and territorial\u201d, heavy stuff indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2EwViQxSJJQ?feature=player_detailpage&w=640&h=360]<\/p>\n

\u201cIrreplaceable\u201d -Beyonc\u00e9<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cIrreplaceable\u201d, taken from Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s second album \u2018B’Day\u2019, was the best-selling US single of 2007. Ne-Yo originally wrote the song as a country track but when presented to Beyonc\u00e9 was changed to an R&B pop ballad. Praised for its catchy hook, \u201cTo the left, to the left\u201d,<\/i> and Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s honest delivery, it has become an anthem of female empowerment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pretender\u201d – Foo Fighters<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 2007 Foo Fighters released one of the most successful rock anthems of all time, \u201cThe Pretender\u201d. David Grohl described “The Pretender” as “a stomping Foo Fighters up-tempo song, with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it\u201d. The song starts with a mellow guitar intro before the drums and heavy guitars kick in to create that classic Foo Fighters sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GNm5drtAQXs?feature=player_detailpage&w=640&h=360]<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Ain\u2019t A Scene, It\u2019s Arms Race\u201d – Fall Out Boy<\/span><\/h3>\n

What better time to revisit some classic Fall Out Boy than now. Incorporating elements of funk and soul, Patrick “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s an Arms Race” sees the band experimenting with different musical styles. Lyrically the song explores the band\u2019s new found popularity in their typical tongue in cheek way, \u201cI am an arms dealer, fitting you with weapons in the form of words\u201d. <\/i>Somehow Fall Out Boy just never gets old!<\/span><\/p>\n
