I agree.  I thought '06 was a decent year but '07 was pretty mediocre.  As 
seen on my list from a few days ago, almost all the concerts I caught that 
were any good were actually reunions (Van Halen, Black Sabbath w/Dio, Jesus 
and Mary Chain, Smashing Pumpkins) or older, well-established bands flogging 
the concert curcuit plugging fair at best new albums (Springsteen, The Cult, 
Nine Inch Nails).  The only band I saw last year that I felt still had their 
best work ahead of them and a bright future was Arcade Fire.

BTW, I picked up October File's album over the holidays and while there's a 
few good tracks, aside from the track with Jaz singing (The Sun Never Sets) 
which is a standout imo, nothing else really stays with me.
